An official for the L.A. County Coroner’s Office made an announcement earlier, Whitney Houston used cocaine immediately prior to her death.
Coroner Chief Craig Harvey held a news conference — claiming the toxicology results suggested Whitney was a “chronic” cocaine user.
Harvey described the cocaine level in Whitney’s system as “acute” — indicating Whitney used the drug not long before she accidentally drowned in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel last month. “Accidental drowning” is listed as Whitney’s official cause of death.
According to Harvey, the autopsy revealed a 60% narrowing of Whitney’s arteries — a direct result of the chronic cocaine use. Harvey claims the artery constriction led to a cardiac event before her death.
As for the other drugs in her system — marijuana, Benadryl, Flexeril, and Xanax — which Harvey claims were all at or below therapeutic levels and did not significantly contribute to her death.
Sources connected to Whitney Houston who were with Whitney the day she died says an individual removed all traces of cocaine from the room before authorities arrived. Investigators who arrived on scene found no traces of cocaine or any other illegal substance.
One source who is extremely close to the situation claims the individual who removed the cocaine was also the person who supplied it to Whitney.
So in short, cocaine was a contributing factor to her death as well as corinary disease and some sort of cardiac event.
