Police in Minnesota say they found cocaine in the bedroom of the tour bus where former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland was found dead.
Police said they found "a small quantity" of cocaine during a search of the bus Friday following Weiland's death.
Investigators say they also found a small amount of cocaine elsewhere in the bus and arrested a California man who was travelling with Weiland. The man hasn't been charged.
Police released no additional information on Weiland's cause of death, saying it would be released by the local coroner.
Weiland died in his sleep Thursday night, and musicians who had worked and performed with him expressed their grief on Twitter.
A statement on Weiland's social media pages indicated that he died in his sleep in Bloomington, Minn., while on tour with his current band, the Wildabouts.
