The post-mortem examination began on Wednesday at Uxbridge Mortuary but has continued because of the "complex nature" of the investigation, a Met Police spokesman said. Prime Minister David Cameron has said he will examine "all the circumstances of the case" surrounding the murder of Alice.
Following the discovery of her body, Alice's parents Rosalind Hodgkiss and Jose Gross said: "Why anyone would want to hurt her is something that we are struggling to come to terms with. He described it as a "horrific case", and said: "Anyone with a daughter will have just felt sickened by what has happened and what that poor family has had to go through."
Mr Cameron's words came after it was revealed that further tests will be carried out on Alice's body after a post-mortem examination proved inconclusive.
