The medication found has not yet been identified to the press nor have the doctors and pharmacies who supplied it to Ms Houston.

Since her death the sales and downloads of Houston's music and films have soared.
All inquiries into Houstons death, according to Ed Winter the Los Angeles assistant chief coroner, are routine in most death investigations.
