Whitney Houston Reportedly Died of Alcohol and Prescription Drug Mixture: Surprising or Expected?

Thanks. I don't actually live in California year round. But been here over 50 years. I'm fortunate to live where I want to and have a ranch in the mid-west, and a farm in West by GOD virginia. I love my country and although I've been all over the world would'nt trade a 1/2 acre in this country for the rest of the world. Mean ole guy huh? Have friends in Florida one in particular named the "Alligator man". Very educated has a resturant chain and actually has a pet alligator he has a beautiful compound for it. He's famous for in the Miami area for protecting his interest. You don't want to rob one of his resturants when he's their. Now he's a mean ole man.

Well, I am smiling!!!! Nope, you're not mean at all. LOL
I am originally from the midwest. I grew up in Ohio.
I lived in a suburb of Cleveland when I was a little girl, (Shaker Hts.) but my uncle had a beautiful farm in the central part of the state and I would spend time there every summer. The people in the midwest, in my opinion, are some of the nicest in the country. So down to earth and friendly. I attribute much of my good, kind, values to growing up in the midwest. If someone new moved into the neighborhood, your neighbors came by with pies and food and we had block parties. Everyone was so friendly. My family would drive us ( my brother, sister and I) all over this country on vacations and it is indeed beautiful. West Virginia I have driven through several times and it is gorgeous, especially in the fall. I miss the changing of the leaves in the fall in Florida. I don't miss the cold of Ohio, but I do miss the seasons. My husband and I drove out to California in the early 70's and I was awestruck by the scenery driving across the country. I envy you being able to live on a farm. Now I live in a little condo, but it's near my kids and grandkids so it all works out.

You'll do well.

Doctors hand out hard drugs like they are candy . The more they hand out the more money they make .

and very sad

The problem for those who do not abuse drugs, is that the young and impressionable might feel that for someone who had supposedly everything, talent, beauty, money, youth why did she gambled so dangerously with the drugs and alcohol.This doesn't set a good example for people who do struggle and are less fortunate.

Figured it was crack..

But sad non the less.

All I have to say, thanks Bobby Brown.

Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin Michael Jackson, So many big stars. My prayer go out to her

She is to late for your prayers. Pray for the living that they might benefit. She stands in judgement and if the LORDs will she will be singing in heaven.

aND SO UNFORTUNEATE

I kinda expected her to die from a cocaine/crack overdose if anything, but not from prescription medication. Whitney often used Xanax for anxiety before performing and it's highly likely than not she simultaneously consumed alcohol beverages, except this time the mixture had a reverse reaction, obviously not in her favor.

Whitney was dead before her head went under water. It's an unfortunate situation, but when your time is up, it's up. And it really doesn't matter how we go or die, because fate determines this and not us.

I was always told that we exist on borrowed time to fulfill a purpose and the creator is going to take back what was loan to us and rightfully belong to him in the first place once that purpose has been fulfilled.

Prescription drugs are worse than street drugs.

Surprising since the last I heard, toxicology reports won't be in for a few weeks.

Sadly expected.

that seems to be happening alot lately.. there all bombs and fame is the fire that lights the fuse..

Brittney Murphy doesn't belong on that list. She died from black mold. Her husband died of the same exact thing only a few months later.

o.. wow i musta heard the wrong thing then.. =o

It is an easy mistake to make because she dropped a lot of weight in the early 2000s. People thought she was doing heavy drugs for popularity, but she was struggling with pneumonia and other respiratory illnesses. You can hear the rasp in her voice in many movies. Black mold is some serious stuff. [:~O]

if true NO!

Pretty much expected... when people take drugs AND drink, they never think about the synergistic effects.

Yes. true :(
