Whitney Houston died from an accidental drowning in a hotel bathtub, but the "effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use" were contributing factors in her death, the Los Angeles County Coroner said in an autopsy report released Thursday.
Houston, 48, was "found submerged in bathtub filled with water" and "no trauma or foul play is suspected," the coroner said.
The toxicology tests found other drugs in her body, including marijuana, the anti-anxiety drug Xanax, the muscle relaxant Flexeril and the allergy medicine Benadryl, the report said. But these drugs "did not contribute to the death," it said.
The final coroner report is expected to be made public within two weeks, the coroner said.
Houston died February 11 in her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, the day before the music industry gathered for the annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

Leave it to Matt Drudge to misrepresent the coroner's report on his gossip site. What a dirtbag.
Leave it to CNN to sugarcoat the headline. What a wonderful message to send to the"children of our future", that you can get mixed up in drugs, destroy your career, kill yourself, cause your child, family ,loved ones and us fans tremendous grief, and be honered with a saints funeral and blamless victim headlines. Yeah that Drudge is a real db.
Big surprise.
Wasted life.

Cannabis had nothing to do with it.

Governor Christy, you might want to lower the flag again for this newsflash.
Ah HA! She drowned in cocaine!
I knew it was not cocaine.
Theres a shocker.....
Nice way to try to avoid saying drugs killed her.
Because they didn't. She drowned. She might have lived another 30-40 years taking those drugs.
She killed herself- drugs were the method
So sad. I hope her family can find some peace. She didn't mean to do this.
Ummm, that was a dumb statement.
How many self centered drug addicts intentionally drown.
Yeah right...The daughter was doing drugs after the funeral...Only bad can come of this...
Houston, you had a problem.
