Whitney Houston has probably suffered a heart attack while taking a bath in her room at the luxurious Beverly Hilton on February 11, said Craig Harvey, spokesman for the coroner's office of the California megalopolis. She then slipped underwater and drowned.
The pop star "had a heart condition that was exacerbated by cocaine use. Combining the two has led her drowning," said Craig Harvey. "We believe that the heart attack was complicated by the use of cocaine" before she drowned, he said.
In a statement, the coroner's office said that the death of Whitney Houston at age 48 is "accidental" and away from the track "Murder".
Other drugs and medicines were discovered in the body of the star but have not contributed to his death, including marijuana or traces of Alprazolam (Xanax), of Cyclobenzaprine (Flexiril) and Diphenhydramine ( Benadryl), the source said.
The final report of the medical examiner will be published within two weeks.
Since the demise of the singer on the eve of the prestigious Grammy Awards ceremony, rumors were rife about the circumstances of his death, some raising the possibility that the star has succumbed to a cocktail of drugs and alcohol.
During the Grammy Awards at Staples Center in Los Angeles, the cream of the music industry had paid tribute to the singer, nicknamed "The Voice".
The star had dominated the music scene in pop and soul music in the '80s and '90s, selling over 170 million records. At the height of her fame, she had turned to the opposite Kevin Costner in "Bodyguard" (1992).
A week after her death, the same Kevin Costner, and also Stevie Wonder and Alicia Keys honored him at a funeral held in Newark, the hometown of the star, near New York.Bobbi Kristina - born of the troubled relationship between the singer Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown - has inherited all the property of his mother. A few days ago, the girl aged 19 told Oprah Winfrey that he planned to follow in the footsteps of her mother and to get into music to "carry her legacy."
