LA coroner probes cause of Houston's death

Thu 16 Feb 2012 In: International News View at NDHA

Doctors are being told to provide drug records as the Los Angeles County coroner’s office tries to determine how Whitney Houston died. The much-loved diva and icon in the gay community was found dead on Sunday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The Los Angeles Times reports authorities collected several bottles of drugs from Houston's suite. But officials have said the amounts of drugs did not seem unusually large, leaving it unclear whether the medications had anything to do with the singer's death. Officials are waiting for the results of toxicology tests on Houston's body. Officials say they have made contact with some doctors. "We've already contacted a number of doctors with requests for records," Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter told the Associated Press.
