An autopsy on British singer Amy Winehouse, who was found dead at the weekend, will be carried out Monday, police said, as her parents thanked well-wishers at a makeshift shrine outside the 27-year-old's north London home.

As record industry executives reported a surge in sales of the singer's music and speculation swirled about the release of a possible posthumous album, her father Mitch flew in from New York to visit the shrine.
Surrounded by television crews and well-wishers, he read the dozens of condolence messages and walked along banks of teddy bears, flowers -- and the occasional bottle of vodka -- left by fans of the troubled singer.
"Thank you for coming," he told the fans. "It means so much to me and my family."The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported Monday that material recorded before Winehouse's death could be released as a posthumous album, citing sources who said Winehouse had recorded "a lot of material" and that her parents would have the final say on whether a new album is to be released.
