A post mortem is the gross examination of a body. The body will be checked for overt signs of abuse, neglect, torture, sexual assault. Somtimes organ systems will be examined; an abnormally enlarged organ could possibly be indicative of possible drugs or poisoning. Biopsies may be taken to check for possible drugs or poisoning agents such as arsenic, sedatives and the like. Pictures are often taken if there is suspected abnormality so the pathologist may examine and compare to other medical sources.
If there is no clues to cause of death in the post mortem, that is where the toxicology reports come in. The tissues, blood, other body fluids will be tested for drugs/poisons to determine cause of death.

Inconclusive Post Mortem

basically they dont know why the person died; or perhaps there are several possible causes, and they cant work out which one proved fatal.
there are several 'levels' of post-mortem though, so sometimes if one proves inconclusive, others are run instead

inconclusive: leading to no conclusion or definite result
so that means they could not figure out why the person died.

No conclusion was come to. They don't know. It might sound sinister but it really just means they don't know what caused the death.

it means that they dont know what caused the death there could be more than one reason

it could mean the doctor has dropped a clanger and the coroner is covering up for him or her
