Whitney Houston's Death Was Accidental, Source Says

Ever since Whitney Houston died unexpectedly on February 11 in her Beverly Hilton hotel room, her family has believed it was an accident. Now, her death — the cause of which was initially cited as "deferred," pending an investigation — is expected to be officially deemed accidental, a source told E! News.

The word from investigators ought to quash speculation that either a second party had been involved in Houston's demise, or that the pop icon had intended to take her own life. "[N]othing suspicious" has been found to link physicians or other people of interest to Houston's death, according to the source, who added: "[S]he had no marks on her body whatsoever to indicate a struggle, and she was the furthest thing from trying to kill herself."

The L.A. County Department of Coroner, meanwhile, has not yet issued the official word, citing the ongoing investigation.
