Coroner: Houston drowned after cocaine use
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.

Drugs!! Imagine the stunned and shocked reactions on Oprah.
Who's Whitney Houston?
R.I.P.
This to shall past my sister, you are at rest now and.don't have to prove nothing to anyone, I will really miss your singing from the heart ..
With those shotgun barrel nostrils that ape could hoover an eight ball in one snort.
How Sad. The best thing her daughter could do is to set up a foundation to fight against drug abuse in her mother's name. Bet, it probably won't happen.....
Cocaine, alcohol and prescription medications plural. She was doing everything!!!!! Gee what a suprise!
Wait, a celebrity? I care? Oh right, I don't....
AN ENTERTAINER ABUSING DRUGS.
THE NEXT THING THEY'LL BE TELLING US IS THAT POLITICIANS LIE.
John Edwards didn't lie! Barack Obama didn't isn't won't lie. Pfffssst. Wake up America!!
Beauty, talent, wealth, health, beloved...she had it all... and squandered it away, selfishly.
Her daughter is not wanting for nothing. You didn't try to lend a helping hand, so what's your concern, really?
She was a great talent, not a wasted life.
Still not as bad as how Bon Scott died. Choking on his own vomit.
Looks like Whitney Houston is cool again now....literally!!
QED. Surprise!
Not.
Clearly, the blame here rests with bathtubs, especially bathtubs loaded with water. We need to ban bathtubs now! Showers are fine, but who really needs a bathtub in this day and age? How many more senseless deaths will it take before we demand congress pass legislation banning bathtubs once and for all?
