So much for reports that Whitney Houston's room was clean

The final coroner's report talks about "a small spoon with a white, crystal-like substance in it and a rolled-up piece of white paper, along with other miscellaneous items," on the counter in the Beverly Hilton bathroom where she died. In a nearby drawer were "remnants of a white powdery substance and a portable mirror on a base and on the bottom of that base were more remnants of a white, powdery substance." The coroner earlier said cocaine contributed to Houston's death in the bathtub.
