The news comes after Carrie's death certificate - which was released almost two weeks after she passed away on December 27 at the age of 60 on a flight from London to Los Angeles - revealed she died after a "massive heart attack".
E! News - who claim to have obtained the official documents - have listed Carrie's immediate cause of death as "cardiac arrest/deferred".

They added that The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office is now expected to perform more testing including toxicology tests to determine what triggered her heart attack mid-flight.
Debbie then died just day after her daughter on December 28 at the age of 84. TMZ have reported that she died from a blood vessel that ruptured and caused bleeding in her brain.
According to the official papers, which have been obtained by the US publication, Debbie's official cause of death was an intracerebral hemorrhage; which is essentially a stroke. It also lists hypertension as an underlying cause.
The pair's touching documentary Bright Lights - which focuses on Carrie's relationship with her mother - aired in the US on Sunday night.
