The Whitney Houston Update from Cause of Death to who really Leaked that Photo!

Whitney Houston's Death OFFICIALLY Ruled As Accidental Drowning

According to the press release, cocaine was found to be in Whitney's system after she was found submerged in her Beverly Hilton hotel room on February 11th. The drug, compounded with the effects of atherosclerotic heart disease, have been ruled as the official contributing factors in her accidental drowning death.

MSNBC reports:
The official cause of death for Whitney Houston is drowning and "effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use," according to a report released Thursday by the L.A. County Department of the Coroner.
The report indicates that the Houston died when she was submerged in a bathtub filled with water, and also indicates that she had ingested cocaine.
Cocaine was said to have contributed to her death, but not the prescription drugs and marijuana also found in her system. The press release from the report concluded, "No trauma or foul play is suspected."

The final coroner's report will be released within two weeks. Also Sources connected to the late singer who were with her the day she died told TMZ that someone removed all traces of cocaine from her hotel room before authorities arrived.

The Coroner’s Office says Whitney used cocaine “immediately prior to her collapse.” Investigators who arrived on scene found no traces of cocaine or any other illegal substance.
One source who is extremely close to the situation tells us … the individual who removed the cocaine was also the person who supplied it to Whitney.

As previously reported, other items were removed from the room as well, including bed sheets.
The Beverly Hills PD just told TMZ … its investigation is not closed. Cops will not comment on whether they are looking at evidence tampering.

And I must add an update and a apology to a piece I wrote a few weeks ago concerning the leaked photographs of Whitney to the National Enquirer. It wasn’t Tina Brown after all well sorta not. The person who leaked the casket photo of Whitney Houston has finally been revealed. Raffles van Exel is the one personnel at Whigham Funeral Home are blaming. van Exel isn’t anyone famous or important in the industry, he was just part of various celebrities entourages the UrbanDaily reports.

According to reports on Forbes.com, van Exel was at two private casket viewings at the funeral home. Employees of Whigham Funeral Home noticed van Exel as soon as he walked in because he was the only non-family member allowed in the private viewing. It’s said he also traveled with the family from Los Angeles to New Jersey on a private jet. He was even provided with his own bodyguard.

Whigham personnel alerted the Houston family of van Exel when the National Enquirer ran the leaked photo on their cover. A source said the Houstons didn’t do anything about van Exel once they learned of the funeral home’s suspicions. Some of the Whigham employees believe the family is protecting him. We know who leaked the photo of Whitney Houston laying in her casket. What repercussions do yall think Raffles van Exel should face. If you are trying to find out who this guy is read below…

Despite the shock of Whitney’s death, Raffles still made it downstairs to Clive Davis’s party. He was dressed in formal wear, had Whitney’s tickets in his hand, and intended to sit at her table. Just inside the ballroom he was comforted by celebrities to whom he related his story—“I found Whitney.” Gayle King hugged him. Quincy Jones listened patiently to his story. A security guard told me later, “Well, he was up there.” He was also hanging around with Houston all week prior to her death. On Tuesday when she emerged from a nightclub, looking disheveled, Raffles appears in a photograph on TMZ like a deer in headlights. He is standing right behind her in a powder blue suit. On Twitter, he wrote: “STOP reading the stupid blogs.. Whitney had a great time, she looked amazing. Nothing was wrong, it was just DAMN hot in that club.”

Forbes reports But who is Raffles van Exel?
He’s one of Hollywood’s mysteries. I first met him in 2005 hanging around the Jackson family during Michael Jackson’s child molestation trial. After Michael went abroad, Raffles was often seen with Michael’s father, Joseph Jackson. He trades on being an “insider” when there’s a scandal. No one really knows him, but he’s always where there’s action and celebrities. On the internet he claims to own a number of companies including Raffles Entertainment.

He’s also been sued a couple of times, once by a partner in something called Max Records, Inc., and once by a private aviation company in Los Angeles. I spoke to the plane company and they said they can’t comment because the situation is ongoing. On Twitter he claims to be managing “my girl,” Chaka Khan. There are plenty of pictures of Raffles on the internet with celebrities. You can see him with everyone from Magic Johnson to Sandra Bullock. If ever there was a real life Zelig, he is it.
He lives in West Hollywood now, but his official domicile—and where he’s been sued—is Chicago.

WOW…..Well at any rate REST IN PEACE Whitney!
