“That ‘70s Show” actress Lisa Robin Kelly died last week in rehab. She was only 43 years old and, according to CNN, her death will remain a mystery until toxicology results come back.

That could be another 2 months, the report notes.

An autopsy has already been performed but was inconclusive.

“Why actress Lisa Robin Kelly died in an addiction rehab center last week will not be known for another two months, a coroner's office spokeswoman said Sunday,” CNN says.

“The autopsy on Kelly, one of the stars of TV's ‘That '70s Show,’ was completed Saturday, but it will be another eight to 10 weeks before toxicology results are back from the lab, according to Los Angeles County Coroner Lt. Cheryl MacWillie,” the report adds.

As we also informed you at the time, Kelly died in her sleep at a rehab center she’d entered just days before, in what was meant as a final bid to stay sober.

Reports online indicate that she’s been clean of drugs and alcohol at least for several days, so chances she died of an overdose are slim to none.

Her publicist confirmed that she was committed to turning her life around, after several other failed attempts, but did not rule out the possibility that her death had something to do with years of abuse.

He said that she’d “lost the battle” with her demons.

“Lisa had voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility early this week where she was battling the addiction problems that have plagued her these past few years,” Kelly’s agent, Craig Wyckoff, is now saying for CNN.

“I spoke to her on Monday and she was hopeful and confident, looking forward to putting this part of her life behind her,” Wyckoff adds.

Kelly went willingly to rehab, after a talk with her boyfriend, who convinced her to give sobriety one more chance. The boyfriend is now blaming her ex-husband for her problems, specifically for her most recent relapse.
