According to a recently revealed autopsy report, 90 generic Xanax pills were ordered for Houston at a Walgreens at Mt. Elliot Street and Jefferson Avenue. A week before that, another prescription was written by a different doctor at the CVS Pharmacy on Woodward avenue, two blocks from her hotel suite.

All together, four different doctors called in prescriptions for Xanax and antibiotics to pharmacies in Detroit, Los Angeles and Atlanta.

Investigators recently contacted the Detroit pharmacies and interviewed medical staff who worked on the set with Houston.

The official cause of death is listed as drowning, but Local 4 medical expert Dr. Frank McGeorge said the pills Houston popped, along with her drug use, tell the real story.

"The fact that she had to get some while she was here suggest that either she wasn't planning ahead or she was using more than she should have," Dr. McGeorge said.
