(CNN) –The city medical examiner said Friday the initial autopsy was inconclusive. The office will provide more details surrounding Cachay’s death “pending toxicology and tissue testing, which would take a few weeks,” said spokeswoman Grace Burgess.

“Sylvie Cachay was one of those rare individuals who truly sparkled when she spoke,” said publicist Kate Godici. “She will be deeply and painfully missed, yet celebrated, honored and never forgotten.”

Authorities say they are investigating Nick Brooks, whose father — Joseph Brooks — is the Oscar-winning composer and director who produced the song “You Light Up My Life.”

The elder Brooks was indicted on multiple counts of sexual assault earlier this year, according to New York Supreme court documents.

The younger Brooks is currently in police custody, the spokesman said.
