Rik Mayall Post-Mortem "Inconclusive"
The post-mortem examination of Rik Mayall has proved inconclusive, with West London Coroner's Office has said that further tests are required to establish the cause of the sudden death.

Highest Factor 50 Suncream 'Does Not Stop Skin Cancer'
Researchers have reported that factor 50 suncream is not a reliable way of protecting against skin cancer, saying that it only reduces DNA damage and the beginning of malignant melanoma.
Cancer Research UK found that while the high factor suncream can reduce the carcinogenic effects of the sun it does not offer complete protection and that enough UV radiation got through to damage the skin's pigment cells which would increase the chance of developing the disease.
The study developed with mice showed that about 30% more of the animals predisposed to melanoma developed the cancer with factor 50 suncream than those were not.
More than 13.000 people are diagnosed every year of malignant melanoma in the UK.
World Cup: England vs Italy Pitch 'In Bad Shape'
The Arena Amazonia football pitch, in Manaus, where England are due to play against Italy in its first World Cup match, is "in a bad shape" according to the head groundsman.
The British team will send a member of manager Roy Hodgson's backroom to inspect the pitch .
Carlos Botella, the head groundsman admitted: "Frankly, Manaus is in bad shape" and added that the "maintenance has been complicated".
As the pictures revealed a dry pitch with brown marks, Mr Botella claimed: "There are no roads. All the machinery and materials had to be brought by ship. There was no fertilizer and no seeds. Now we have put fertilizer down. We will increase the fertilizing process with biostimulants and seeds to try to get the most out of the grass."
