Some meds found in Houston's room, coroner says

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - A coroner's official says some prescription medicines were found in the hotel room where Whitney Houston died but not in large quantities.

Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said Monday that medications were found but declined to offer any specifics because police have requested that no details about the investigation be released.

Winter says there weren't a lot of prescription bottles.

Police declined to say earlier Monday whether any medications were recovered after Houston's death on Saturday. Beverly Hills police say the singer was found in a bath tub by a member of her staff around 3:30 p.m., just hours before she was scheduled to attend a pre-Grammy Awards gala.

I feel bad for her 18 year old daughter. That's too young to lose your mother, not that any age is a good age for THAT, but she's on the threshold of so many important events in her life and now her mother won't be there with her. I'm very sorry. I do pray for comfort for her. It's really tough.

Well, she's made the ultimate next step in her career. But it would be more effective if there were witnesses, a doctor, and ultimately a trial to keep this mess at 'shocker' status on the entertainment news shows. It could happen yet. We are a culture apoplectic about celebrity.
