Whitney Houston Autopsy Results

Whitney Houston – Finally at peace

It’s been less than two days since the news broke of Whitney Houston’s tragic passing, and already autopsy reports are being released, with the hope to find out how exactly Houston died.

From what we know, Houston was found unconscious in the bathtub by her bodyguard, who was unable to necessitate her. After searching the hotel room, police found several prescription pill bottles, but no illegal drugs. It’s been leaving people wondering if Houston died by drowning, or if she was in fact dead before she went under water. Sunday’s autopsy reports didn’t reveal much but are shedding a little light on the possibilities.

According to TMZ, the autopsy did reveal the legendary singer had water in her lungs when she died, but the medical examiner still needs to determine how much before they can decide if she died as a result of drowning.

The autopsy results aren’t offering much, but in 4 to 6 weeks we’ll have the toxicology reports. Those should answer a lot more questions.

It’s so hard to believe Houston is really gone. It brings me back to when Michael Jackson died…everything seemed to freeze. It just didn’t seem real. I think it’s safe to say we all had a hunch that Houston (and Jackson for that matter) was struggling with addiction, but you just don’t think these issues, as serious as they are, will eventually take these people’s lives, or at least not as soon as they did. I grew up with her music, like many of you did, and it’s just so, so sad. Rest in peace, Whitney. We’ll always have you in our hearts.
