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.

The killer confessed!
She flopped face-first into a 160-degF bath.
This is horrific, shows you the absolute pit of despair drugs can sink you into.
Can we put this thread on hold and criticize the hell out of her tomorrow?
Have you read something different then this full article. It says her back was burned from getting INTO the tub. Also skin was slipping off her leg.
Don't trip over your outrage and fall head first into a tub of scalding water: "... every fallen service member from New Jersey has received the honor during [Christie's] administration."
Whitney Houston autopsy: Singer’s body had trauma from fall into bathtub, was suffering from emphysema
The singer likely suffered a cocaine-induced ‘cardiac event,’ says coroner
A lot of people seem to be reading a different article then is linked here. I finally read it and it does indicate the water may have been about that hot but it says her BACK was burned from getting INTO the tub and the skin on her legs was sluffing off.
Whitney Houston was standing outside her hotel bathtub when something caused her to crash facedown into the scalding water, a famed forensic pathologist concluded Thursday.
The blazing bath was too hot for soaking, and injuries on Houston’s forehead, chest and upper lip suggest trauma from a fall, former Pittsburgh coroner Dr. Cyril Wecht told the Daily News.
“Put everything together, and you have somebody who had to be unconscious falling into the water,” Wecht said. “She falls in and strikes those places and then presses against them as her body is down.”
Why the nasty attitude?
Beats me.
My point is just this, Whitney contributed to this society though she obviously fell short as we all do.
I have many fond memories of her music as I came of age in the 80's.
The 80's for me was a decade of youth in my 20's, I did a lot of things that I am not proud of but at least had a Country with promise of the future...can't say that now.
Call me nostalgic, forgiving of a fellow human who perished under tragic circumstances...throw in the fact that it is Easter and well, my previous comment.
I am no better than she was, though she made more money than I did.
"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.
I guess it doesn't really matter one way or the other. She is now dead.
What does Houston's autopsy have to do with Cristy's flying a flag at half staff?
Been there, done that, got the tee shirt.
Only one “save” and he only lasted a couple days from ER to ICU.
maybe she was bobbing for enamel
The elephant in the room—or bathroom—is the illegal drug industry that is consuming more than one talented singer. It is consuming other singers and talented people around the world. It is capturing our youth who cannot find legitimate work and holding them under the spell of addiction. If there is a real world case of a Zombie nation, this is it.
If we were to stop the Cocaine and Heroin market by burning the Cocaine fields and the Opium fields, a huge number of parasites on these drugs would go in a panic. How will they make a living? Where will they get that chemical joy? The reaction, I am afraid, would be an epidemic of thefts to make up for the lost income, looting and armed robberies of drug stores and pharmaceuticals for the legal drugs.
The only answer is a turning to Jesus Christ and the renewing of America’s moral heritage. When humans, with their fragile spirits, have Christ in their hearts, no drug can ever equal the joy it brings in ones life. It is tragic that secular America has taught our youth to laugh at that idea.
Why do you think they call it dope!?
Living the empty godless Hollywhack lifestyle is a killer.
He is Risen
