NEWS: CORONER RELEASES WHITNEY HOUSTON’S CAUSE OF DEATH and TOXICOLOGY REPORT

March 22nd, 2012

Whitney Houston’s cause of death has been determined to be accidental drowning and effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use, according to the Los Angeles County toxicology report, which was released on Thurs., March 22.

Houston, 48, was found submerged in the bathtub of her Beverly Hilton Hotel room on Feb. 11 and pronounced dead at 3:55 PST. The toxicology report found that “Cocaine and metabolites were identified and were contributory to the death. Marijuana, Alprazolam (Xanax), Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) and Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) were identified but did not contribute to the death.” While the levels of each drug were omitted from the toxicology report, the information will be included in the final coroner report which will be released within two weeks.

Houston’s family had been informed of the findings before Thursday and issued the following statement: “We are saddened to learn of the toxicology results, although we are glad to now have closure.”

    Although this is sad news; and I do feel for her daughter and family members. I’m also happy that “level-headed” people can stop blaming Bobby Brown for Whitney’s drug problems, too.

    People have to accept that no one is perfect, and Whitney was not the perfect woman they though she was.

    Please look at those photos of Whitney the night before. Those were fresh bruise marks, because the blood was evident on her arms and legs. WTH? Did she fall? Get beat down or what? And sorry, Pat Houston is shady!

    I remember in an interview when the interviewer asked Bobby Brown, “Did he start Whitney on heavy drugs?” and Bobby said, “I was a poor guy from the projects, and yes, I smoked weed; but it was Whitney who got the heavier stuff for us”. And I believed him, because I remember Whitney’s brother Gary getting busted in New Jersey for drugs. So, if people want to blame anyone for Whitney’s drug use. Firstly, blame her, her immediate family, Clive Davis.

    One thing I can’t understand is why the beef with Bobbi Kristi with her father; it was just two days before Whitney was found dead that CL posted a photo of her smiling with both Mum and Dad at dinner. In fact, she was leaving smiling with her father. Are you sure this girl has problems with her father? Why the sudden change within a week? ~Confused~

      It has been reported that it was wine and not blood on her legs and arms.

      NBC Dateline interviewed Whitney’s hairstylist about those pictures. Because she was with Whitney and her crew at the pre Grammy party 2 days before Whitney passed away.

    This is nothing new to me. Black people are in such denial. My grandmother died in 2000 and went to her grave still denying that my dad was on crack cocaine and my uncle was gay. Get with it people!

      I agree with you STLOPINION people are so quick to believe the first thing they hear. Back in February every1 was blaming Bobby now they want to blame Ray J. because some crackheaded looking bitch said so. Ignorance breeds. The only one to hurt Whitney was Whitney. RIP in peace diva your talent will be missed by many.

    The entertainment industry is a very sad and dark place to be sometimes. Its only expected that some ppl will get lost or led onto the wrong path. Let’s just pray for those out there dealing with the same situation and remember Ms Houston for her good, not her bad.

      Dont think she in peace right about now…we hope..but dont look good. Maybe she asked for forgiveness before that last breath. Dont know. Drugs can relax or sedate you so much to where your breathing will slow down and your heart can stop and she could have just slipped under the water.

    I’m confused I thought they said it wasn’t enough water in her lungs for her to drown, and no cocaine found in the room so did Pat hide the drugs. Second what was her time of death the man that stayed in the room below reported a water leak from the bathroom above him which was whitney room at 2:30am. Lastly why is no one talking about Bobbi falling asleep in the bathtub the day before. Still alot of unanswer questions we may never know.

      exactly the corner is corrupt how do go from there wasnt even enough water in her lungs to drown to determine she died from drowning? and if cocaine wasnt a causing factor in her death why is even be reported i smell coverup. if she died from drowning that mean somebody held her down underwater duh? and as for the traces of cocaine in her system that could have easily been in the meds she was taking according to consumerreports.com 8 out of 10 prescription meds contain traces of cocaine dont believe the media they lie lie lie

      Everything is not a conspiracy. They probably told them about the water not appearing as if it was enough to drown her, but she did have water in her lungs. The examination was not complete for them to tell the family that without knowing for sure. They said appears no struggle so dont look like Pat held her down in the water, especially if you are high on cocaine, i think Whitney would have had strength to fight old Pat oat least enough to scratch her or grab her etc or whoever if there was not anything else sedating her. She probably did coke in another hotel room, addicts know how to hide and sneak. That alcohol and drugs jacked her up and she may have had an heart arrythmia that did her in. The devil knew to make her desire a bath instead of a shower.

    This is some bull****. I don’t believe this one bit.
    I still think there was foul play involved but no one
    is going to come forward and tell what really happened
    in that hotel room.Because there is too much money to
    be made off of this woman’s death.There is a major LIE
    going on here and people should start realizing that.

    RIP Whitney Houston.You were one of the Greatest.

    Well Whitney,dont know if you made it to heaven with all that going on. Fornicating with Ray J and sniffing crack…dont look very good. You cant be saying “But God” and smoking on the crack pipe and backing it up to Ray J. Who still takes baths these days? Take a shower! These stars are so stupid, they have a death wish and then act like they afraid of death but still do death taunting things and wonder why they dead. We do things to take away our life, so its not our time if we do soemthing to take it away ourselves.

      You need to understand that it was her time to go. People relasp all the time and addiction is something people battle everyday. She might’ve been in pain dealing with pressure of fame. Let the woman rest in peace and pray for her family.

    So her heart gave out and she fell in the tub? i still dont understand why noone was in her room while she was taking a bath or why Pat Houston was avoiding Whitneys calls that day

      The media wants the whole world to think that she died from a cocain overdose. They know damn well that her CAUSE OF DEATH WAS A ACCIDENTAL DEATH. And the main factors was cocaine, heart disease.

    If you people had any idea what the combo of drugs does you would STFU. She was probably just trying to sleep…or commit suicide. You take too much XANAX, Benadryl and diphenhydramine, you are sleeping and nothing is going to wake you up. She probably got in the tub to relax, got really RELAXED, fell asleep and drowned. Like I said, you take enough, you ain’t waking up. Conspiracy theory my ass.

    Love You Whitney, Whether you were right or wrong in your choices, you were TRUE !!!!
    When you look to all those people you are bying CDs and other stuffs…or look at yourself, can you say that they or you are better than her ?
    She lived her life and paied a high price for her success.
    She was sick and desperatly in need of non judgemental persons around her…
    She did with the intelligence GOD gave her.
    And after all, she did GREAT.
    Are we listening to people’s pain around US ? What are we doing ?
    R.I.P. Mrs Whitney Elisabeth HOUSTON
