The 48-year-old singer was found submerged in a tub in her room at the Beverly Hilton on Feb 12, the night before the Grammy Awards. The release of autopsy findings ends weeks of speculation about what killed her.
Los Angeles County Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey said the cause of death was accidental drowning due to the effects of heart disease and cocaine use.
Cocaine and its by[-]products were found in her system, and it was listed as a contributing factor in her death. He said the results indicated Houston was a chronic cocaine user. » | Nick Allen | Los Angeles | Thursday, March 22, 2012
