Whitney
Houston’s years of cocaine abuse led to her tragic death, it was revealed
today.
The pop icon had cocaine
in her system when she drowned in a hotel bathtub, according to the official
report released by the Los Angeles Coroner.
She sunk into the
bathwater after suffering a massive heart attack caused in part by her
prolonged drug abuse.
Following
the news, Houston's family have released a statement that says: 'We are
saddened to learn of the toxicology results, although we are glad to now have
closure.'
And her mother Cissy is
reported to be 'shocked' to learn that her daughter was still using drugs at
the time of her death.
According to TMZ, Cissy
believes the star began taking drugs again due to stress over her comeback, but
thought Houston to be sober as she filmed the movie Sparkle.
The ruling is an
ignominious ending to the superstar’s fall from grace.
It also ends weeks of
speculation over how the 48-year-old pop icon died, with some members of her
family even suggesting foul play may have led to the surprise death on February
11.
Ed Winter, spokesman for
the coroner’s office, said the official cause of death was accidental drowning.
