Hollywood Shorts 2-13 Whitney Houston's Alleged Cause Of Death

 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.
