Glynis Bensley was discovered in Cheshire Road on September 3 last year.
A 20-year-old man and a 13-year-old boy were arrested in connection with her death. They deny her murder and will appear before Wolverhampton Crown Court on March 2.
At Smethwick Coroners Court yesterday, Black Country coroner Mr Zafar Siddique adjourned the inquest to await the findings of the court case.
He confirmed Miss Binsley, aged 47, of Rosefield Road, Smethwick, had died of a traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage - a form of bleeding on the brain.
An earlier post mortem revealed she suffered head injuries.
