![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
TMZ has learned the Larimer County Sheriff's Department will conduct an investigation into the getaway balloon caper. We're told they have not decided if it's a criminal investigation -- presumably filing a false report.
After a meeting today, Sheriff's officials tell us they will conduct interviews with the family beginning tomorrow, including the boy.
A Sheriff's official told us they will not interview the family today because "their physical and emotional state as of this morning is not well."
Thing is ... they've been doing TV nonstop. We're just sayin' ...

I actually now believe them after j=hearing the 911 call. I thought they were bs'ing after the boys flub but they seemed crazed and distraught during those calls, But then again so did Lyle and Eric Menendez after they shot their parents and then called 911. Now I'm SO CONFUSED

I hope that everyone realizes that this entire event was staged by the family. The boy went into the attic to hid after the father yelled at him; they knew he was home (that's where he was yelled at!). The family is seeking attention so that they can cash in on radio and television appearances. Hope the county investigates and holds them financially responsible for their antics!

I think I know what happened here. The whole family was doing an experiment and when the dad started screaming Falcon took off to hide. Obviously he's afraid of the father.

I'm far more concerned with the welfare of these kids than for the money spent on a hoax. It's clear from what we've seen on air, how these "parents" keep putting this child in front of a camera (and I suspect drugged btw) even AFTER he pukes. This child is clearly distressed. Children frequently get nauseous when under stress. Let the sheriff investigate the hoax, but PLEASE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, get involved NOW (and test that kid for drugs btw)! Poor baby!
PS The Today Show should also be looked at for child abuse when they allowed this baby back on the air after he was clearly ill in a previous interview on GMA!
