Whitney Houston's body was ravaged by scars, cuts and burns when she died, autopsy details showed.

Years of drug and alcohol abuse had left the "Bodyguard" star with a damaged heart and liver, a hole in her nose and 11 front teeth missing.

She also had a needle mark on one arm and was high on a cocktail of nine drugs when she died in a hotel bath in Los Angeles on Feb. 11, 2012.

And we are surprised.... why?

She climbed into a 160-degF "bath" and drowned. People who are awake and coherent would immediately jump out. She didn't even notice.

I was a fan of hers when she was a good singer and a beautiful woman. She just fell apart.... nothing left.

It appears she had just done some lines of cocaine in the bathroom, and then from a standing position passed out and FELL into a tub filled with scalding water, but was too intoxicated from everything to get herself out. She fell FACE DOWN into the tub.

She didn’t climb in. There were contusions and bruising elements that show she HIT hte tub from a standing position so she must have fainted and fallen in. She was found face down.

Sounds about average for the “rich and famous”.

[dayglored]

BTW, if you read the article carefully, some of the "scars" are from operations and breast implants, and some of the burns and skin problems were from the last bath and resuscitation efforts. Those don't count against her "deadly lifestyle".

Nonetheless, she destroyed herself with drugs and abuse. Such a sad waste of beauty and talent.

Even with nothing but hot water it shouldn’t get that hot, least it doesn’t at home.

Oh, my god. Ouch. Okay, implication withdrawn.

I’m amazed at how many morons living in this country still idolize these Hollyweird celebrities. Very weird.

Your tag line is fitting for a poster of your caliber.

Happy Easter.

There is a profound lesson to be learned from her death;

Druggies should take showers, not baths.

[mamelukesabre]

I have never been in a hotel where you could even *GET* water that hot. If she hadn’t fallen face first, I bet they would be suing the hotel for water too hot.

I promise, CPR is very traumatic to the body. More so when its first responders in a bathroom and there are indications of overdose. The body gets banged around like you wouldnt believe, jerking it out of the tub, hammering away on her chest, and injections of all kinds of stuff to get her heart going and to counteract whatever drug shes taken. Intubation hurts her throat and and the use of a defibrillator burns her if enough shocks are administered.

And none if this works 90 percent of the time in witnessed full arrest.

Gov Cristie flew the flag at half staff for this lost soul. Has he done this for any of our fallen Servicemen and Women?

[KJC1]

I think releasing such private details is terrible.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Druggies should take showers, not baths.

Yet she made more money then you will ever see in your life time.

Why don't you grant a departed, confused soul the benefit of the doubt?

I know you're perfect and no one can live up to your benevolence and absolute Grace, but this is Easter after all ;)

face down in scalding hot water.

that doesn’t sound suspicious??

Where were her family and friends when she was doing all these drugs that day? Were they doing drugs with her?

[mmanager]

She fell short just like the rest of us just more covered than you and I will have in the news.

For all of us as sinner’s to cast this stone? So be it, I won’t be part of this.

Today on Easter, our Lord gave it all for these sins, came back and had a promise. From everything I read about Houston she is with the Lord.

It is disgusting, and yet the voyeurs have the nerve to condemn others to hell on Easter Sunday.
