Whitney Houston was found face-down in a
bathtub with cocaine in her system and drug paraphernalia on the bathroom
counter nearby, investigators revealed in the singer's final autopsy report
released Wednesday.
The report delivered a grim accounting of
Houston's final hours nearly three months ago. The singer complained of a sore
throat before an assistant suggested she take a bath before the start of a
pre-Grammy Awards gala. By the time the assistant returned, Houston had drowned
and was lying face down in the tub.
Investigators who scoured the room later
found in the bathroom a "spoon with a white crystal like substance in it," and a
white powdery substance in a drawer and on a mirror, according the report. The
report does not specifically identify the substances as cocaine, although
toxicology tests discovered the drug in Houston's heart and
extremities.
The report provides a sad footnote to
Houston's life, revealing the toll the singer's drug use took on her
body.
When coroner's officials said two weeks
ago that Houston died from accidental drowning, they also revealed that cocaine
had played a role in her death. The office has said there were signs of both
chronic and recent use.
An investigator noted a hole in the
singer's nose, listed under "history of substance abuse."
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said he
could not discuss how recently Houston may have used cocaine, or other details
of the final report.
Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen said
the investigation is still open and he could not comment on the findings. The
department has said there did not appear to be signs of foul play.
