The late singer and entertainer died at her Spanish holiday home on Sunday, aged 72.
Spanish sources close to the investigation quoted by The Telegraph said her death was "non-suspicious" and a post-mortem had proved "inconclusive".
Samples will be taken to a lab in Seville for further testing, which the source said was "standard practice".
Black was on holiday with her son Estepona, in Spain, at the time. A report by The Sun claimed Black may have walked from an air-conditioned room in to midday heat, with the change in temperature causing her to become dizzy and fall.
It quoted a source close to the investigation as saying medical examiners would look at marks on her arm and elbow that could be linked to a fall.
Black's publicist told The Independent he could not comment on the reports as the report had not been released.
