As the world continues to mourn the lost of one of the greatest singer’s ever, new details have emerged on Whitney Houston’s cause of death. While many have speculated on what may have happened to Whitney, a family source is now speaking out after receiving details from the LA Coroner’s office.
The Scoop:
Whitney Houston’s family was told by L.A. County Coroner officials … the singer did not die from drowning, but rather from what appears to be a combination of Xanax and other prescription drugs mixed with alcohol … this according to family sources.
Coroner’s officials informed the family there was not enough water in Whitney’s lungs to lead to the conclusion that she drowned. Sources say the family was told Whitney may well have died before her head became submerged.
And family sources say it was actually Whitney’s aunt, Mary Jones, who discovered Whitney’s body in the bathtub. Mary had laid out Whitney’s dress for the evening on the bed and then left for about a half hour. When Whitney didn’t come out of the bathroom, Mary entered, pulled Whitney out of the tub and began administering CPR.
And we’re told … Whitney’s mom has arranged to have the singer’s body flown back to Atlanta, as early as tomorrow. The family was told the Coroner has no problem releasing the body because there is no evidence of foul play — and unless cops put a hold on the body, it can be flown back East. [Via TMZ]
