EXCLUSIVE: Cilla Black’s body to be returned to family today

CILLA Black’s body is to be given back to her family today, the Spanish authorities have confirmed.

The provisional autopsy examination results are due tomorrow but a spokesman for the judge confirmed to the Olive Press that they now have everything they need to continue analysis.

This leaves her three sons free to take the body for burial and continue to mourn the iconic TV legend.

“While we await the official results, we continue to insist that she died of natural causes produced potentially by an accident,” said a spokesman for Spain’s General Council of the Judiciary (Consejo General del Poder Judicial).

“We believe her family will take her body back today.”

It is not yet known whether Black’s family will opt for a burial or a cremation and whether it will be in Spain or in England.

The 72-year-old died on Saturday August 1  in her Estepona villa, to read our Olive Press coverage click here.
