to hear the coroner's verdict
Drug use: Cocaine was found in Whitney Houston's body when she died, according to the LA County Coroner
And her mother Cissy is reported to be 'shocked' to learn that her daughter was still using drugs at the time of her death.
According to TMZ, Cissy believes the star began taking drugs again due to stress over her comeback, but thought Houston to be sober as she filmed the movie Sparkle.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Whitney's on-off boyfriend Ray-J said he also had no knowledge that the singer was using cocaine.
The denial comes after the Whitney's ex-husband Bobby Brown's sister Leolah Brown said Ray-J was to blame for Whitney's death.
The ruling is an ignominious ending to the superstar’s fall from grace.
Tragic: The official cause of Whitney's death has been released as accidental drowning
Untimely: Whitney died in the Beverly Hilton Hotel on February 11, aged 48
WHITNEY'S TOXICOLOGY REPORT
- Official cause of death was accidental drowning
- 'An acute dose' of cocaine was found in the singer's system and factored into her death
- Results suggest Whitney was a chronic cocaine user
- Chief Coroner believes the star ingested the drug shortly before her death
- Traces of marijuana, Xanax, Flexiril and Benadryl were all found but did not contribute to death
- It is believed Whitney had a heart attack, fell unconscious and drowned
- Heart attack may have been brought on by hardening of the arteries due to years of cocaine use
- Tests did not show significant amount of alcohol in Whitney's system
- Foul play and trauma did not contribute to her death
- Official report expected to be released in two weeks
It also ends weeks of speculation over how the 48-year-old pop icon died, with some members of her family even suggesting foul play may have led to the surprise death on February 11.
Ed Winter, spokesman for the coroner’s office, said the official cause of death was accidental drowning.
He added that heart disease and the star’s cocaine use were contributing factors to her collapse.
The Chief Coroner Craig Harvey stated during a press conference that the results suggest 'chronic usage' of cocaine by Ms. Houston.
He said there was 'an acute dose' of cocaine in Houston's system when she died.
Harvey added that the results indicate the star ingested cocaine 'not probably too much before she collapsed'.
Coroner’s officials said the results suggest Ms. Houston was a chronic cocaine user.
Traces of marijuana and the prescription anti-anxiety drug Xanax were found along with Flexiril and over-the-counter Benadryl, but they did not play a direct role in her death.
Law enforcement sources said it was likely that Ms Houston had a heart attack that caused her to lose consciousness and drown in the bath at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
The heart attack was probably brought on by the hardening of her arteries as a result of years of cocaine abuse.
Immediately after the death, it was widely thought that drinking binges combined with prescription pills combined to make the star lose consciousness and slip under the bathwater.
But the toxicology tests did not show any significant amount of alcohol in Ms. Houston’s system.
Several bottles of prescription medication were found in her hotel room, but they were not said to be in excessive quantities. No cocaine was discovered in the room.
However a source has claimed to TMZ that all traces of the drug were removed from the hotel room before authorities arrived.
The website alleges that the person who removed the cocaine was the same person who supplied it to the star, and they also claim that other items were removed from the room, including bed sheets.
Beverly Hills police said in a statement there was no evidence of wrongdoing in connection with the death.
The final Coroner's report is expected to be released in approximately two weeks.
Ms. Houston died just hours before she was scheduled to appear at producer Clive Davis' pre-Grammy Awards bash.
