Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said that "not many prescription bottles" were found in the singer's Beverly Hilton hotel room after her death. The amount of medications recovered by investigators was less than usually present in deaths attributed to overdoses, Winter said.
"I know there are reports that she maybe was drowned or did she overdose, but we won't make a final determination until all the tests are in," he said. Winter ruled out foul play and said there were no injuries to her body.
There were more questions than answers Monday about Houston's sudden death, as authorities were offering few details. The singer's soaring voice and impressive talent had taken a back seat in recent years to her struggles with drug addiction.
With the autopsy completed Sunday, Houston's body was released to her family Monday, Winter said.
A source close to Houston said Monday that her body will be flown to her native New Jersey, and a funeral service will be held there Friday or Saturday.
