The Los Angeles County Coroner has released the official cause of death for Whitney Houston.
According to the report, the singer passed away due to an "accidental drowning" that was related to heart disease and also the presence of cocaine in her system.
According to the report, the singer passed away due to an "accidental drowning" that was related to heart disease and also the presence of cocaine in her system.
An insider tells TMZ that it's "very possible" the heart attack caused Whitney to pass out
and fall under the water. It's also likely this was triggered by the
use of cocaine. It should be noted, however, that no cocaine was found
in the hotel room where Houston passed away.
Law enforcement officials have said from
the beginning that no foul play was involved in the tragedy and nothing
in this report suggests anything different.
Perhaps now folks such as Nancy Grace can let Whitney rest in peace.
UPDATE: Coroner Chief
Craig Harvey said in a news conference that evidence points to Whitney
as a "chronic" cocaine user and that the traces in her system were
"acute," meaning she took the drug immediately prior to passing away.
Other substances in her system at the time
included: marijuana, Benadryl, Flexeril, and Xanax. They played little
to no role in her death.
