The lab report revealed that all five bowls contained sea salt, which is commonly used to absorb odours and deter insects.

The sixth sample, taken from the kitchen container, was identified as iodised salt.

Sources familiar with the investigation say the presence of sea salt in multiple bowls may not be coincidental and could help determine the circumstances surrounding her death. 

However, the investigators have yet to determine the exact cause of the death.
