Cause of Whitney Houston's death to remain mystery for some time

Melbourne, Feb 13 (ANI): Whitney Houston's fans will have to wait for a few weeks before the exact reason for her death is revealed.

Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said on Sunday afternoon that police had requested that no details about Houston's autopsy be publicly released.

He said toxicology results will take weeks and the results are needed to determine how Houston died in a room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday afternoon, the Herald Sun reported.

Winter declined to release any details about what investigators found in the room, but said coroner's officials were not ruling out any potential causes of death.

He said there were no signs of trauma on Houston's body.

Beverly Hills Police Lieutenant Mark Rosen said his agency may release more details on Monday about Houston's death, but it will depend on whether detectives feel comfortable releasing any information.

A member of Houston's entourage found the 48-year-old singer unresponsive in her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday, just hours before she was supposed to appear at a pre-Grammy gala. (ANI)
