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.
FULL STORY
Her family, friends, manager's all knew exactly what she was doing......they are all responsible.
No, sadly she was responsible.
Legalize Marijuana!
and the stupidity continues.
Everyone's an armchair coroner.
There can be multiple contributing factors to a primary cause of death.
a dead junkie is a dead junkie is a dead junkie
Dear God! So I assume she smoked marijuana, took Xanax, Flexeril and Benadryl to come off the Cocaine, resulting in her passing out and drowning. Heavens to Mercutroid...where were her handlers when she was smoking and popping pills? Perhaps she used the same methods before, using downers to come out of her Cocaine high but this time her luck ran out. No matter how rich you are, how famous, you are still a human being who chose to ruin your life and that of your family. RIP Whitney...God does not allow drugs in Heaven.
another dead junkie, who gives a fig!
So John and Ken were right after all.
RIP whitney. I feel you sister. I am a 55 yr old addict and there but the grace of god go I.
I am happy she is dead. I will go to New Jersey and take a dump on her grave.
I knew she drowned!! I just glad that we have her music to always enjoy. I hope her daughter makes her mother proud.
another dead junkie, there are lots of those.
What? R.I.P. Beautiful voice, beautiful lady. Bad associations R.I.P.
Did anybody think how selfish she was..she had a daughter she drank and did drugs with.such a role model.
elvis was the most notorious drug user of them all....yet almost 40 years later he is still worshipped by millions because the Music was good. what this woman did in her private life in no way reflects how great the music was and how much joy she brought to the world with her songs. how many of you out there had parents who doped and drank..but you still loved them for the most part.
Political Correctness kills:
1st ... Honest communications
2nd ...Truth
3rd ... Politicians ...by making them all seem to be equally deceitful
4th ... Singers, actors, lawyers, businessmen and many, many poor ...by making them think drugs are "no big deal"
5th ... Hope ...by taking away the people we love.
She is an icon and legend to the drug-dealing world.
