Whitney Houston death: Police found ‘white powdery substance’ in singer’s room

POLICE searching the room where Whitney Houston died found white powdery substances and a spoon with white residue, according to the final autopsy report for the singer.

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.

An investigator noted a hole in the singer’s nose that was listed under “history of substance abuse.”

Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said he could not discuss how recently Houston may have used the drug or other details of the final report.

Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen said the investigation is still open and he could not comment on the findings.
