Whitney Houston’s mom broke down after death report reveals drugs

Whitney Houston’s mom reportedly broke down in tears after a coroner’s report revealed her daughter’s final sad, drug-filled moments before dying.

Cissy Houston, herself an accomplished gospel singer, was “devastated” and inconsolable after the LA County Coroner issued its final report on Whitney’s face-down, bathtub drowning on Feb. 11, according to the celebrity gossip site TMZ.

The elder Houston is reportedly terrified Whitney’s legacy will be as a drug addict — and not one of her era’s great pop and R&B artists.

The coroner had already ruled that Houston drowned inside the Beverly Hilton Hotel with cocaine and prescription medication in her system.

But yesterday’s final report included troubling new details of Houston’s passing. Investigators found a “white crystal’’ substance on a bathroom counter and a white powdery substance in a drawer and on a mirror.

Houston, 48, had complained of a sore throat and an assistant suggested she take a bath before a pre-Grammy Awards gala, the coroner said. When the aide returned, Houston had drowned and was lying facedown in the tub.

The coroner believes she had been submerged for at least an hour, with bath water soaking the floor and bedroom area.
