Coroner: Houston autopsy results on lockdown

Monday, February 13, 2012

LOS ANGELES -- Coroner's officials said they will not release any information on Whitney Houston's autopsy at the request of police detectives investigating the singer's death.

Capt. John Kades said an autopsy on Houston was schedule Sunday (US time) but that a security hold prevents him from releasing any details on its status or whether any probable cause of death has been established.

Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen said Sunday that his agency may release more details about Houston's death Saturday afternoon on Monday, but it will depend on whether detectives feel comfortable releasing any information.
