Houston: coroner's final report

The coroner's final report on the death of Whitney Houston confirms she drowned in her hotel bathtub with cocaine in her system and white a powder nearby.

The document, just released, sheds no light on the nature of the powder.

Detectives also found a small spoon containing a crystal-like substance, and a rolled up piece of paper, in the bathroom.

In a drawer they discovered a white powdery substance and a mirror.

Houston, one of the world's best-known singers during the 1980s and 1990s, was discovered face down in the tub of very hot water on February 11th.

An autopsy found she drowned accidentally due to the effects of cocaine and heart disease.

The singer also had traces of marijuana in her system.

The report said there was also an open bottle of champagne in her room at the Beverly Hilton.
