LOS ANGELES (CNS) – A spoon with a “white crystal-like substance’ and
remnants of a “white powdery substance’ were found in the Beverly Hills hotel
room where singer Whitney Houston died, according to a coroner’s report issued
today.
Houston, 48, drowned in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton on Feb. 11.
Coroner’s officials said previously that cocaine use and heart disease
contributed to her death, with evidence that the singer used cocaine shortly
before she slipped under the water in the tub.
According to the coroner’s office report released today, an ashtray with
multiple cigarette butts was found in the bathroom of Houston’s hotel room,
and the small spoon with the white crystal substance was found on the bathroom
counter.
“Located in the top drawer, in the north side of the counter, were
remnants of a white powdery substance, and a portable mirror on a base,’
according to the report. “On the bottom of that base were more remnants of a
white powdery substance.’
The bathtub had 12 to 13 inches of water in it, and the bathroom floor
was covered with water, according to the report, which also notes that a
“plethora’ of prescription medication bottles were also collected in the
hotel room.
