The death of Kingston triplet Cheryl Wheeler is not being treated as suspicious, police have announced.

Results of the postmortem examination, which took place last week at Fulham Mortuary, were inconclusive.

The police are waiting for results of toxicology tests but are not expected to launch a murder investigation.

Cheryl Wheeler, 18, died at Kingston Hospital on Tuesday last week after being found unconscious in her flat in Church Road, Worcester Park.

Three days earlier she was found by a male friend who said he encountered a man he did not know at the flat, who was on crutches.

After an argument between the two men outside the house, the man on crutches left the scene in a dark-coloured convertible car, possibly a BMW, driven by another man.

Miss Wheeler had moved into the housing association flat in Church Road, less than a month before she died, after growing up in Barnfield Gardens, Kingston.

She was one of a set of artistically-talented girl triplets who the Surrey Comet had featured every year since their birth. The girls were pupils at Grey Court School in Ham before going to study performance arts at different colleges.

A funeral for Cheryl is likely to be held at the end of August.

Her father Pat, mother Annette and triplet sisters Kirsty and Kelly-Marie made the following statement: "Cheryl Wheeler a loving daughter, sister, granddaughter, friend and girlfriend no other star shines brighter and we will always love you - always and forever in our hearts."
