A post-mortem test was carried out by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner, but a cause of death has not been released.
Sarah Ardalani, a spokeswoman for the coroner, said: “A cause of death has been deferred pending additional tests. His body has been released.”
In a statement, his family said Miller was a “bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans”.
Ed Sheeran, Drake, Chance The Rapper and Post Malone were among a stream of stars to pay tribute to the “great talent”, who released his fifth studio album, Swimming, in August.
