Autopsy Report In Whitney Houston’s Death Disturbing!


It’s only been two months since Whitney Houston was found dead, floating face down in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel and the details of her death are still very disturbing. Investigators revealed Whitney’s final autopsy report on yesterday.

Investigators found in her room a “spoon with a white crystal like substance in it,” and a white powdery substance in a drawer and on a mirror, the report does not specifically identify the substances as cocaine, although toxicology tests discovered the drug in Houston’s heart and extremities. 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.” Whitney also had marijuana, Xanax, the muscle relaxant Flexeril, and the allergy medication Benadryl in her system; yet none of these drugs were considered factors in her death.

The singer also had buildup of plaque in her arteries that can restrict blood flow, which is a common condition among drug users. The report indicated a 60 percent blockage in the singer’s right coronary artery, as well as bruises on her upper and lower body parts; indicating the water in the bathtub was extremely hot and may have contributed to the bruises on the singer’s body.

Although investigators believe, no foul play was involved the internet is all abuzz with different speculations.

Bobby Brown’s sister, Leolah Brown is not believing Whitney Houston’s death was accidental.

According to Access Hollywood she said: ”I believe Whitney’s death was not accidental. No.” However, she refuses to speculate about who she thinks is responsible by stating: ”My attorney has advised me not to get into that at all, but, it’s very important to know that she did not just pass away like that. No. And if it’s the last thing that I do, I’m going to find out what truly happened to my sister.”
