Law enforcement officials found Lorazepam, Valium, and a sleeping medication in Whitney Houston's hotel room, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
The singer was found unresponsive by members of her entourage on Saturday afternoon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and she was declared dead by responding paramedics at 3:55 p.m. PST on the eve of the Grammy's.
Houston had "a plethora of sedatives including Lorazepam, Valium, Xanax, and a sleeping medication that was found in her hotel room," a law enforcement source tells us.

The prescription drugs were officially taken into custody by the Beverly Hills Police Department, who is handling the investigation, and an autopsy is scheduled to take place either Sunday or Monday.
"Investigators from BHPD will be there when the autopsy is done. This is routinely done in cases when someone relatively young dies and there are no signs of foul play," the insider tells us.

Authorities have unofficially ruled out suicide and are currently looking at Houston's death as an accidental overdose.
Houston battled an addiction to drugs and alcohol for years and she had just wrapped filming Sparkle with Jordin Sparks.

Maybe, just maybe Bobby had kept her alive through addiction and now without him around there was no one to watch over her.

I can't believe she lived as long as she did. Daughter you better wake-up and smell the roses or you will be buried before you are 30

You idiots...alcoholics/addicts don't 'choose' this life's path, addiction is a disease, like cancer or diabetes. You need to do your research before you start commenting like an ignorant fool. Really Crickets, you look stupid. lol

Addiction is a disease, so is diabetes. You can CHOOSE to eat healthy, choose to not drink or do drugs, just as you can choose to drink, eat unhealthy or do drugs. EVERYTHING in life is a choice, she is responsible for herself.

You getting all defensive and projecting at me, makes me wonder if you should apply your name calling to yourself. She chose the self destruction, she chose to take the drugs, the alcohol, that lifestyle, it did not choose her.
