Prescriptions were allegedly the downfall of Whitney’s too-short life — we’re still so upset about her passing.
Whitney Houston‘s cause of death has been revealed to be drugs — not drowning, as previously reported.
Whitney, who was 48, died of an alleged combination of Xanax with other prescriptions and alcohol, TMZ reports. The L.A. County Coroner informed the family that there was not enough water in her lungs to point to drowning, but rather she was likely already dead from the mixture by the time she became submerged in bathwater.
