Whitney Houston's Final Autopsy Report: Cocaine Found in Singer's Room

Cocaine and related paraphernalia were discovered in the Beverly Hills Hotel room where Whitney Houston died, the singer's final autopsy report has revealed. 

According to the 42-page report, detectives found a "small spoon with a white crystal-like substance in it and a rolled up piece of white paper" on the bathroom counter. They also found cocaine on a portable mirror that was stashed in a drawer in the hotel room. 

An initial coroner's report released two weeks ago concluded that Houston's official cause of death was accidental drowning, although cocaine use and a heart condition were listed as contributing causes. Measurable amounts of marijuana, Benadryl, Xanex and Flexeril were found in the singer's system, but they were not considered contributing factors in her death.

Houston, who had a long history of drug use, died on February 11th just one day prior to the Grammy Awards. An assistant left her alone in her hotel room for less than an hour while she shopped for items for Houston's scheduled appearance at a pre-Grammy party later that night. When she returned, she found Houston's limp body in the bathtub with her face down in the water.

Whitney Houston's official cause of death was accidental drowning, according to an initial report from the L.A. County Coroner released Thursday, but a heart condition and cocaine use were also contributing factors.

The autopsy report reveals that Houston suffered from atherosclerotic heart disease, or a hardening of the arteries. The amount of cocaine found in her system will not be made public until the coroner's final report is released in two weeks.

Marijuana, Xanax, Benadryl and the muscle relaxant Flexeril were also found in Houston's system, but those drugs did not contribute to her death, the report says.

Houston's family has issued a public statement in reponse to the autopsy findings through Patricia Houston, the singer's sister-in-law and former manager. "We are saddened to learn of the toxicology results, although we are glad to now have closure," reads the statement.

Houston died at the Beverly Hills Hotel on February 11th, one day prior to the Grammy Awards.

Leslie Carter Autopsy Inconclusive

Leslie Carter and Aaron Carter Leslie Carter and Aaron Carter

An initial autopsy report on the death of Leslie Carter, the sister of singers Aaron Carter and former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, was inconclusive, the Chautauqua County Coroner's Office announced today. The 25-year-old mother and occasional singer was found dead yesterday in her home in upstate New York, where she reportedly moved from Canada recently to live with family members while sturggling with a prescription drug dependency. 

Coroner Richard Mackowiak said the results of a toxicology report are pending and that it is the family's decision whether to make the results public. 

Leslie Carter recorded an unreleased album for DreamWorks in 1999, at the height of Backstreet mania. Her song "Like Wow!" appeared on the Shrek soundtrack. She was perhaps best known, however, for appearing on the E! network reality show House of Carters, which ran in 2006.
