Drugs & alcohol, not drowning.source - TMZ.comWhitney 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.
We're told Coroner's officials informed the family there was not enough water in Whitney's lungs to lead to the conclusion that she drowned.
Our sources say the family was told Whitney may well have died before her head became submerged.
And family sources tell us ... 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.
I feel for her daughter. She seems to already have a drug and anger issue. Hope she can get it together so we dont have another one of these stories.
I cant help but see similarites with Anna Nichol Smith. Getting her kid doing the same drugs as the parent is doing.
Whitney Houston may have been flawed person, but her renditions of the Stars Spangled Banner and the song "I Will Always Love You" are two of the greatest vocal performances of all time. She hit notes that can send shivers down your back and for that, I will always be grateful for the time Houston spent with us. RIP Whitney.
Amazing voice..Last night on the Grammy's, Jennifer Hudson sang that song...As good as she is, she couldn't touch Whitney Houston's voice.
OTOH, tough to feel bad for Houston. She went from arguably the greatest woman's singer ever to a low life very quickly. She has a child I am pretty sure too, so she has screwed that up. That's who I feel sorry for.
Its just amazing to me how people allow themselves to get so involved in this stuff, especially those who everything.
