Whitney Houston Death

Whitney Houston died from mixing prescription drugs with alcohol, a coroner has reportedly told her family.

Whitney was dead in her hotel bathroom on Saturday afternoon and a selection of pills was found in the adjoining room.

Whitney was found partially submerged in the water and it was initially claimed that she had drowned, but TMZ reports a coroner has told her bereaved family that she most likely died beforehand after mixing pills with alcohol.

According to the coroner, there was not enough water in Whitney's lungs to determine that she had died from drowning.

It was earlier revealed that results of toxicology tests will be released in four to six weeks.
