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
Q. Hey what is six inches long and did not get sucked on Valentines day ?
A. Whitney Houstons crackpipe
Nice load Whitney!!!
Coke, weed, Zanex (thats probably what killed her) Flexoril.
Maybe we should put the flags at 1/2 again
This is terrible... I am sorry that this happened to such a talented woman. I guess one way or another you beat the addiction! What a role model! Congradulations Whitney you are 2 1/2 months sober!
Old news, who cares! Just another entertainer who wasted majority of her life by abusing her body with DRUGS!!!!
I guess she just couldn't say "no to drugs!" Let's now move on to real important news. It was a known fact she was a drug abuser and can't blame anyone but herself. This is no shocking news to anyone.
WOW big surprise.
Crack ho
How much tax payer money was spent to determine this?
They are just trying to cover up the fact that it was pharmaceutical drugs that killed her. According to the preliminary tests, they only mention benzos and not cocaine or marijuana. http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/02/whitney-houston-preliminary-autopsy-results-sedatives

For all those who pretended not to it no different than cig. It a addiction,she wasnt able to stop,or didnt want to stop. Rip whitney
Didn't the earlier reports (immediately after her death) say that she did not drown because there was no water in her lungs to support a drowning claim?
