BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - A coroner's official says some prescription medicines were found in the hotel room where Whitney Houston died but not in large quantities.
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said Monday that medications were found but declined to offer any specifics because police have requested that no details about the investigation be released.
Winter says there weren't a lot of prescription bottles.
Police declined to say earlier Monday whether any medications were recovered after Houston's death on Saturday. Beverly Hills police say the singer was found under water in a bath tub by a member of her staff around 3:30 p.m., just hours before she was scheduled to attend a pre-Grammy Awards gala.
Investigators routinely look at prescription medications when investigating unattended deaths.
Police have said there were no indications of foul play.
