Elvis too, died near broke, drugged, and in a bathroom. But at least, he had all 10 of his front teeth.

This is horrific, shows you the absolute pit of despair drugs can sink you into.

Such a waste. The lady was about to go in the studio to record the Christmas chestnut "All I want for Christmas are my 11 front teeth!"

Why do you think they call it dope!?

But the official cause of death was still defined as “accidental drowning” with contributing factors.

That will sound a lot better in the coming biographies and bio-pic than “crazy as an outhouse rat from long years of drug abuse”.

I am sorry. She was beautiful and had a great voice.

Evidence from police and medical teams showed swaths of skin was burned from Houston's back after she got into the scalding water. It also resulted in "skin slippage" on her legs.

Sources said the temperature could have been as high as 150F when she got into the tub.

Six hours after her death, the water was still 91F and medical sources said she may have been so high she did not notice how hot her bath was.

Traces of cocaine, cannabis, anxiety pill Xanax, muscle relaxant Flexeril, allergy medicine Benadryl and painkiller Ibuprofen were found in her body.

Did she cook before she drowned? What does your body temp have to be and for how long before you blank out? Drugged and desensitized to the heat, I bet she went into some kind of heat-shock and sank under the water.

That would call into question the accuracy of the claim that she drowned. That sounds like trying to paint a rosy picture of a lady so drugged she cooked herself.

Victimless crime, so they say.
