The 911 call placed moments after Whitney Houston’s body was found in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel on February 11 has just been released. A member of the hotel security team is the person who made the call, informing the 911 operator about a “46-year-old female found in the bathroom.” The caller says he was alerted to the situation by an “irate” woman who called security from the room, but couldn’t get much information from her. A woman who first dialed security kept hanging up for whatever reason, preventing the dispatcher from giving potentially life-saving instructions faster.

Too late, as it turned out, as the star couldn’t be revived. Whitney’s official cause of death is listed as “accidental drowning,” with foul play ruled out . Heart disease and cocaine use were contributing factors, according to Houston’s autopsy report , and the legendary singer may well have overdosed. The L.A. County Coroner said Whitney’s chronic use of drugs caused a narrowing of her arteries, which resulted in a cardiac event before her death.
