LONDON, March 27 (UPI) -- A coroner in England has opened an official inquest into the death of Jason Rae, the 31-year-old musician husband of soul singer Corinne Bailey Rae.

The Scottish-born saxophonist, who was a member of the funk band The Haggis Horns, was found dead last week in an apartment in Leeds.

Results of an autopsy were inconclusive and toxicology tests have not yet been completed.

The examining pathologist told the coroner Thursday he came to the preliminary conclusion Rae died from a suspected drug overdose, People.com said.

A representative for the West Yorkshire Police told the magazine there was no set time-frame for the investigation. The Raes married in 2001.
