Trotter's cause of death deferred until after toxicology tests done CHICAGO, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- An autopsy performed on Chicago chef Charlie Trotter has revealed no sign of trauma or foul play, the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office said Wednesday. "Additional tests, including a toxicology analysis, will be conducted," the medical examiner's office said in a statement, adding the tests could take up to eight weeks to complete. The restaurateur and cookbook author was found dead Tuesday at his home. People.com quoted friends and co-workers as saying Trotter had suffered declining health in recent years and been hospitalized after a seizure last summer, however, the information made public by the medical examiner's office Wednesday did not mention anything about a recent illness.
