The singeru00a0- who battled drink and drug addiction in the past - had reportedly been on a 48-hour alcohol binge in the days preceding her death and is thought to have passed out before slipping under the water. Half a dozen bottles of prescription drugs including Lorazepam, Valium and Xanax - used as sleeping aids, relaxants and to ease anxiety - are also said to have been found in Houston's fourth-floor suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
