Whitney Houston May Have Died from Prescription Drugs and Alcohol Says Coroner

I hope this isn't true. TMZ is reporting that the L.A. County Coroner officials have concluded that the late Whitney Houston died not from drowning, as initially thought, but from a combination of prescription drugs and alcohol. They also note that there was not enough water found in the lungs to conclude drowning. Uh oh.

A family sources also says that Whitney's aunt, Mary Jones, was the one who discovered her body. Hmm.

From TMZ:

Whitney Houston's family was told by L.A. County Coroner officials ... the singer did not die from drowning, but rather from what appears to be a combination of Xanax and other prescription drugs  mixed with alcohol ... this according to family sources.

We're told Coroner's officials informed the family there was not enough water in Whitney's lungs to lead to the conclusion that she drowned.

Our sources say the family was told Whitney may well have died before her head became submerged.

And family sources tell us ... it was actually Whitney's aunt, Mary Jones, who discovered Whitney's body in the bathtub. Mary had laid out Whitney's dress for the evening on the bed and then left for about a half hour. When Whitney didn't come out of the bathroom, Mary entered, pulled Whitney out of the tub and began administering CPR.
