When a famous person dies at a rather young age (in their 50′s) the question always arises as to whether or not they overdosed on some type of drugs, in the case of R&B legend Teena Marie law enforcement is reporting that no drugs were found in the singers body.
Officials searched Marie’s Pasadena , CA home and the only medication found was some herbal medication, not of the marijuana kind.
AN autopsy with official toxicology tests will be performed on Marie’s body later this week, however officials are already sticking to their guns that she died of natural seizures.

R&B singer Teena Marie was found dead in her Pasadena home this weekend, she was just 54 years old.
Discovered by Rick James in the '70s, Teena was soon a favorite at Motown Records, creating such hits as "Square Biz" and "Lover Girl" as well as "Casnova Brown", "Portuguese Love" and many other chart toppers. Her hits eventually gave her the name "The Ivory Queen of Soul."
Marie began her MoTown career in 1979 as the ripe young age of just 19, her first album did not feature her picture for fear a white songstress at MoTown would create backlash for the company.
