Singer Whitney drowned after cocaine dose
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Grammy-winning pop legend Whitney Houston died from accidental drowning in her hotel bathtub after taking cocaine which could have triggered a heart attack, coroners said Thursday.

Houston, who died at age of 48 in the bathtub of a Beverly Hills hotel room last month, likely had some kind of heart attack which caused her to slip under the water, said the LA County Coroner's office.

"You have a heart condition exacerbated by cocaine use which, combined, resulted in her drowning," spokesman Craig Harvey told AFP, adding: "We feel that there was a heart event, complicated by cocaine use," before she drowned.
