LOS ANGELES (AP) — Detectives found white powdery substances and a spoon with white residue in the hotel room where Whitney Houston died, according to the final autopsy report released Wednesday.
Houston
had cocaine throughout her system when she died, the report said, and a
"spoon with a white crystal like substance in it" was found.
"I
also collected remnants of a white powdery substance from out of a
drawer" and from a mirror found in the bathroom, coroner's supervisor
Kristy McCracken wrote in the report.
The
report does not specifically identify the substances as cocaine,
although the drug was found in toxicology tests in Houston's heart and
extremities.
The report provides a sad footnote to Houston's life, revealing the toll the singer's drug addiction took on her body.
When
coroner's officials released Houston's cause of death two weeks ago, it
showed the singer had lost her struggle with cocaine abuse....
