Whitney Houston's Autopsy Report Reveals A Host Of Health Problems And A Damaged Decomposing Body

Whitney Houston

The 42-page autopsy report regarding the death of beautiful singer Whitney Houston is sad and tragic, as years of alcohol, cocaine and cigarettes took a massive toll on her body. The report reveals the Beverly Hilton hotel room she died in had cocaine residue in different places. A small mirror, cocaine spoon and rolling papers were found in the suite.

Houston had been dead for 30-60 minutes before being discovered. Her body was not in a good state, as it had begun to decompose, showing visible "skin slippage." This is a stage of decomposition where the skin literally begins coming off the body in patches. Several inches of skin were missing from Houston's chest, while other areas of her body had minor skin slippage such as the arms, calf and back.

Houston also had pre-mortem contusions on the left side of her head and body, with her forehead showing signs of subcutaneous hemorrhaging (bleeding under the skin). Was it from falling and hitting her head in the bathtub or something else. Seriously, what caused the contusions. Is that why she was found face down in the fairly narrow tub, rather than facing upward. The water in the bathtub was reportedly so hot it scalded her body. The coroner notes Houston had "scald burns" and the temperature of the water in the bathtub was 93.5 degrees. She was bleeding from the nose as well.

It was a dangerous practice Houston had to get high on cocaine and marijuana and while taking hot baths in that state. She also had pharmaceutical drugs in her system, which act as muscle relaxers. Alcohol was present as well. She was completely out of it. There were so many ways she could have died with this level of insobriety (drowning, heart attack, respiratory failure, bumping her head then hemorrhaging to death, choking on regurgitated food).

Did Houston truly know or understand how sick she was, as the coroner's report reveals a host of problems. She had heart disease, with 60% blockage, which is something that needed medical intervention. Houston had emphysema from years of cigarette smoking. Cocaine use was eating away at her nose and vocal abilities ("perforation of nasal septum"). Houston had benign tumors in her breast (along with breast implants). Signs of arthritis were present. She had "bleeding luteal cysts" and fibroids, which create heavy, painful menstrual periods. Houston also had colitis.

In short, she could not have been feeling physically well with the aforementioned health issues. She was using drugs and alcohol to mask the pain, emotional and physical, which is very inadvisable. The presence of extensive upper level dental implants confirms previous reports that drugs had destroyed her teeth. In essence, the body was not meant to take this barrage of abuse. I don't believe she intentionally destroyed herself, but she was clearly addicted, hurting and very overwhelmed.

19-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown, was spotted in public with boyfriend brother, Nick Gordon, looking very sad and upset this past Thursday, when it was announced her mom, Whitney Houston, died of a cocaine overdose and cardiac episode last month. 48-year-old Houston was found submerged in the bathtub of her Beverly Hilton hotel suite.

Once again, Bobbi Kristina and her dad, Houston's ex-husband, Bobby Brown, who are both addicted to drugs and struggle with alcoholism, need to embrace sobriety and stick with it, as their very lives depend on it. You're not too young to die of an overdose.

Whitney Houston

The kind of drug use that took place in the Houston home was very dangerous, as it involved the powerful narcotic crack cocaine that is highly addictive. Both Browns need to view sobriety as a life or death situation and keep in mind that their next hit, could be their very last. It's not worth dying over, as they have much to live for.

The Dangers Of Self-Medicating

Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston, who died of cocaine use, heart disease and drowning, was a walking pharmacy. She had several drugs in her system when she died - namely cocaine and marijuana, which is sometimes mixed with toxic additives, in addition to pharmaceuticals Xanax, Flexeril and Benadryl, which all have a heavy sedative effect. In short, she was zonked. Flexeril is a muscle relaxer (which can relax the heart as well) and anti-anxiety drug Xanax, in tandem with the cocaine, gave her heart a beating it could not stand up to.

But this is the Hollywood lifestyle, where celebrities and executives take drugs to forget their problems and get high, which is their definition of partying. What some don't get is that in Hollywood drugs are seen as a good thing, something positive, when in actuality they are not. In Hollywood drugs are apart of the party...even if it kills you. Hollywood needs to change its attitude towards drugs and alcohol.

The late Whitney Houston, was prepping her 18-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, for a career in Hollywood, as an actress and singer. The plan was for her to follow in her mother's formidable footsteps. However, with the death of Houston this month, will young Brown go ahead with those plans, in light of the fact Hollywood and its vices helped to send her mom to an early grave.

Houston was an exceptional entertainer and enjoyed massive commercial success with her endeavors, but due to the industry pulling her in different directions, she developed drug and alcohol addictions, her daughter also struggles with. Will this deter Brown from pursing a career in entertainment.

Bobbi Kristina Brown

A tremendous amount of press and pressure has been geared towards 18-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown, to look, sing and act like her mom, the late Whitney Houston, in an issue that has increased since the singer's early passing this month at the age of 48. However, you can't expect her to be her mother.

Bobbi Kristina looks a lot like her dad, R&B singer, Bobby Brown and is her own person, but some, especially industry experts, who are watching to see what will unfold, don't see it that way and are trying to make her Houston's replacement. Houston is gone and to place such immense pressure on a teenager, to fill a celebrity void her mom left behind, is unreasonable.

It would be a mistake for Brown to allow herself to be swayed by the pressure and attempt to be just like her mom. It's simply too much to take on, especially while recovering from the same drug and alcohol addiction that consumed her mother's life.

Living In Hollywood Will Be A Problem

Bobbi Kristina Brown and mother Whitney Houston in her last days

During a rehab stint a few years ago of the late legendary singer, Whitney Houston, who died this month, she uprooted her family from Atlanta, Georgia, namely her daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown and moved to Los Angeles, California. They lived near Hollywood, California, in the heart of the U.S. entertainment industry. Regrettably, Hollywood the industry and town is a source of significant drug and alcohol abuse for celebrities.

Put it this way, if you take a tour of Atlanta or Miami, they will show you pleasant, scenic local attractions. You take a tour of Hollywood and they will show you things like where celebrities such as River Phoenix overdosed on the sidewalk (trust me, I took the tours). Two very different realities, regarding Hollywood and the rest of America. Which is why Hollywood is not a great place for Bobbi Kristina Brown.

Whitney Houston

She also needs to shed certain so-called friends that give her drugs. Once again, if someone cares about you, they will not be giving you what is street poison, in the form of illegal narcotics. They also will not aide you in abusing pharmaceutical drugs. Bobbi Kristina Brown is an 18-year-old adult now. She is legally of age. Therefore, she will have to take care of her life and finances. Her mom's death is a horrible introduction to adulthood, but she must now take responsibility for her own life and make responsible choices.

This means the people around you are to pay their way. No big entourage, as you'd be surprised how fast money goes when paying for one's self, staff and hangers-on. This means being careful regarding who you call friend and spend time with. If it is someone with a habit, for the sake of your own sobriety, you will have to let them be, until you and the individuals are firmly recovered from addiction. Anything less and it will breed significant problems in your life.

Reports Indicate Whitney Houston's Daughter Disappeared After Her Funeral To Do Drugs

She Could Overdose If This Continues

On February 13, 2012, the Judiciary Report warned, "Bobbi Kristina Brown and her dad also struggle with hard drug and alcohol abuse and need to view Houston's death in part as a wake up call, lest they pass prematurely as well." Sadly, reports published yesterday indicate, Bobbi Kristina Brown, the 18-year-old daughter of the late award winning singer, Whitney Houston, disappeared after her funeral on Saturday, February 18, 2012, for several hours, to do drugs. It is not surprising, as addicts often turn to drugs during crisis, in an effort to numb the pain, but this is dangerous, as it can lead to overdose. Prayer and intensive rehab are best.

Bobbi Kristina was very close to her mom and went everywhere with her. Therefore, it is understandable that this loss would hit her very hard. However, she must move forward with her life. Her mother loved her and would want her to overcome her addictions and make the most of her life. She would not want her to self-destruct. Bobbi Kristina also needs to think about her grandmother, Cissy Houston, who does not need to lose her as well. Drugs are a terrible thing.

Some are knocking Houston for getting involved with Bobby Brown and turning to heavy drug use with him during their marriage. Granted, it was not a good choice, but she isn't the first something like this happened to in life. One of my relatives fell in love with a woman, who got him involved in drug use and it ruined his life. When a person thinks they love someone, they can be very susceptible to suggestion and make very poor choices. But it is selfish for someone to claim they love you, then introduce you to something so negative and destructive.

Things She Needs To Pay Attention To

Bobbi Kristina Brown and Whitney Houston days before her death

Two days ago, I watched Oprah Winfrey's 2009 interview with the late singer, Whitney Houston, for the first time and was saddened by how badly she was being treated in her marriage to singer Bobby Brown, who hit and spit on her. In the interview, Houston also stated she began using "rock cocaine" (crack cocaine) right after she got married Bobby Brown, in what was clearly a physically and emotionally abusive relationship.

The two would get high together, using his preference of crack cocaine and marijuana, rolled into a spliff (joint). She further stated, in the midst of the escalated substance abuse that occurred with her marriage, when things had become really bad in her relationship with Brown, her dad, John Houston, died. Houston said she used drugs even more at that juncture.

Whitney Houston

Now that she has passed, here's hoping her daughter will not make the same mistake and turn to more frequent and aggressive forms of drug abuse to forget the pain and grief, as she could end up overdosing and dying, which is not what her mother would want for her. Both Bobbi and Bobby are in danger of losing their lives to alcohol and drug abuse. They need to face this reality head on and get sober or it's over.

Last night, singer Bobby Brown sent out a strange tribute to his late wife, Whitney Houston, which makes me think he is still on something. "Life is life. You have to move on sometimes. I love Whitney like I love God. My name is bad as* Bobby Brown!" Being a "bad a**" will score you no points with God. There's a problem there that you don't realize that.

As a matter of fact, it has gotten you, Whitney and your daughter into serious addiction issues, one that already claimed Houston's life early, at the age of 48. You need to change for your sake and that of your family. Furthermore, why are you cussing while invoking God's name. Don't do that.

Whitney Houston

Yesterday, the Judiciary Report went over Whitney Houston's finances based on facts that have been present throughout her career, as part of public record and other items that are known industry rates, percentages and standards. With all her expenditures, Houston should not have died broke or had financial troubles, as was stated in the last weeks of her life.

When you have a hit album out the gate, as Houston did with her debut, you are in a greater position to negotiate a higher royalty rate, which is the accepted standard. Houston had one of the better royalty rates in music regarding album sales. Houston's videos were also not very expensive. Therefore, she would not be stuck with massive costs to recoup per project, such as those that would apply to an artist such as Michael Jackson, who loved big music video productions that cost millions per shoots. Houston had many concert videos, simple in-studio shoots and others that were outdoors, costing far less than big budget CGI videos favored by stars such as Jackson.

Michael Jackson, another Sony star, died in 2009 from a pharmaceutical drug overdose, for which Dr. Conrad Murray was sent to jail. However, Houston's reported heavy alcohol drinking, which pharmaceutical companies warn against when taking their products, may be a technicality that gets doctors off the hook that prescribed her the meds found in her hotel suite.

Her marketing costs were not above average, as Houston's music often sold itself. Her recording cost were above average, as she had the best producers and travel accommodations. However, not to the point that she made very little in profit. Well, not until her last album "I Look To You" which did not sell particularly well. However, that is not enough to negate the massive profits she generated for Sony Music, who made over $1 billion dollars off Houston during her 25-years, based on the number of records she sold in her career. Her royalty rate should have approached 20% with continued negotiations throughout her career.

Houston launched multiple tours that were very successful and when you are an artist of her status based on sales, you can make $1,000,000 per night on stage at the height of your fame. Tours are a major source of income for artists, as it is more cut and dry that the complexities of album sales, where they nickel and dime you on everything.

Houston's 18-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown will get the bulk of the late singer's estate

Her film career was quite successful as both an actress and producer. She had endorsement deals with companies like AT&T (Remember the "True Voice" ads). Even with her spending habits, that save for roughly $10,000,000 in drugs, she should not have been broke. Her homes were not that expensive compared to other stars, who generated far less revenue, but are still in their properties, when Houston lost two of hers.

Early in her career Houston bought a home in New Jersey, then the surrounding parcels. Her homes in Atlanta and Miami were not that expensive by industry standards. She'd sold the Los Angeles property years prior. She was not like Elizabeth Taylor in the jewelry department. Designers were always giving her clothes. By all accounts she had a few cars. Therefore, being on the brink of bankruptcy should not have entered the picture.

Then, there's the bank interest Houston's level of wealth would have generated. She should have been able to live off the interest alone. For Houston to be broke means tens of millions of dollars are missing from her earnings. When one is struggling with addiction, it is easy to miss such a fact. I do not think Sony gave Houston all that she was due.

The Judiciary Report is also of the belief somewhere on a management and accounting level, Houston was being robbed as well. It's time to call in some independent lawyers and a forensic accounting firm, all on a reasonable set fee, to go over what happened to her fortune, because something is not right. And make no mistake, she was having money problems, as her homes were being foreclosed on.

Stacy Francis Got Into A Confrontation With Whitney Houston Over Ray-J Before Her Death

Whitney Houston

X-Factor contestant and former X-Girlfriend member, Stacy Francis, 42, got into a fight with Whitney Houston, 48 at a Los Angeles club, two days before her death on February 11, 2012. Yesterday, Francis apologized for the fight that upset Houston and worsened her depression. Houston has dated 31-year-old rapper and reality star Ray-J on and off since her divorce from singer Bobby Brown.

If you remember, on February 13, 2012, the Judiciary Report made mention of Ray-J stating, "Days prior she was also seen with rapper Ray-J, who sorry to say, has been a bad influence on the women he dates (see: Kim Kardashian, who he sold out for $1,000,000). When I saw a photo of Houston with Ray-J several days ago, I got a bad feeling" and "Ray-J, who Houston was seen dating days before she died. Did the two break up again." On February 14, 2012, the Judiciary Report referred to him as bad company and a negative influence on Houston. On February 15. 2012, Francis went public with the story of the fight. My instincts were correct. Ray-J is a playboy and isn't about to be faithful to any woman with his mindset.

Brandi and her brother Ray-J

Some say Houston was happy in her final days, but I don't think she was at all. With all Houston's problems, such as dwindling records sales and a depleted fortune, the last thing she needed was another badboy like Bobby Brown or Ray-J or a confrontation over a man with loose morals when it comes to women. That probably made her depression worse. She was on medication for depression and happy people don't do that. That was a big clue that she was depressed.

Houston needed someone grounded, who would have kept her out of the club and away from alcohol and drugs. Someone to take her out for a nice dinner, a walk in the park, a jog, work out together (ect...). Someone stable to foster her relationship with daughter Bobby Kristina Brown. She needed someone to encourage her to quit smoking and get restorative treatments for her voice that was damaged from years of substance abuse. She didn't need Ray-J taking her to a Hollywood club filled with drugs, alcohol and smoking, for a night out with all her vices present. You saw the inebriation on her face during the final week of her life. If you are drunk or close to it, you can miscalculate how many pills you have taken and when.

Stacy Francis

I did not know Houston, but I knew, heard and was privately told enough to know she was in serious trouble, but I didn't post most of it, as I did not wish to embarrass or hurt her. I knew this tragedy was coming, as the troubles in her life were backing up and she was trying to leave Atlanta, in favor of Los Angeles, a move the site advised against.

In a past Judiciary Report article on April 27, 2010 entitled "Whitney Houston On The Brink" the site explicitly warned, "Whitney Houston, is on the brink of collapse. Her comeback tour continues to be panned all over the world, while Houston spirals further into addiction. Contrary to what her label Sony is telling you, all is not well with Whitney. If she does not regain control of her life, she could overdose. Step back from that ledge, Whitney. Life is too important to jeopardize it over a career, addiction and bad influences."

Drugs And Alcohol Transformed Whitney Houston Into A Different Person

A Person She Struggled With For Years

Whitney Houston

Anyone that tells you Hollywood is a wonderful place is a liar. Those jerks will drive you to drinking or worse if you are not careful. But this is the world Whitney Houston lived in - an industry full of leeches and parasites making undue demands on people and always looking for someone to rip-off and exploit. The government doesn't really regulate Hollywood, so they basically get away with murder out there. Drugs and alcohol abound in tinsel town. Someone's always offering it.

Drugs transforms people into things they do not want to be, but they have an addiction that has changed the landscape of their brain, causing them to crave something that is very detrimental and potentially deadly. So many who use drugs, become a shell of their former selves, physically, mentally and emotionally. That takes a toll on the psyche as well.

A former co-worker of my mom's once worked with her at a school where they taught mentally disabled people in a very rewarding job. Over ten years ago, he also took on a part time job in his spare time to earn extra money to buy a home. His part time job was at Williams Island in Aventura, a suburb of Miami, Florida. Whitney Houston bought a condo on Williams Island in one of the buildings.

One day he saw a disheveled woman, who was out of it, behaving erratically at the pool side, making a commotion. He thought she was a danger to herself and the other guests. He thought the woman was "a vagrant" as he put it. So, he called the police. When they arrived, they looked into it and to their surprise and his, found out the woman was Whitney Houston, a resident of the building. The heavy drug and alcohol use had so taken a toll on her, no one recognized her and she was behaving so erratically as though she was high, they thought she would end up hurting herself. No, he was not fired, but everyone was shocked it was her.

My mother and I were reminded of the incident, when we saw reports on television, regarding Houston behaving erratically last week in the Beverly Hilton ballroom and by the pool of the hotel as well. This has been going on for years, due to Houston's addiction issues. But she had too much drug negativity in her life and whether she realized it or not, it was a problem for her.

My friends in Florida and Georgia that worked at and with labels and those that were reps at music industry conventions said she was okay before she got married, but there was a marked difference in her appearance, sobriety and work ethic when she hooked up with husband Bobby Brown. Once again, sorry Bobby, but the problems in the area of substance abuse intensified for Houston when you two got together, in an issue you've reportedly had since age 15.

This beautiful, bright and talented woman, was reduced to a shell of her former self that even those who admired her, did not recognize her anymore, due to what drugs and alcohol had done to her. Then, there's what it did to her voice. There are singers whose voices maintain their strength and beauty well into their 80s. However, when drugs and alcohol enter the picture, problems will arise.

Houston could not have been happy with the changes in her voice. No singer could. She probably blamed herself, as her voice is something she is so identified with and by. It must have hurt Houston as well, when being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, she was informed some fans stated online that she had destroyed "a national treasure", her voice, with drugs and alcohol. Her brows raised in sad surprise on the show.

Failed romantic relationships, as well as financial troubles had to have taken their toll on Houston. Her last days of wild partying and falling out of clubs inebriated did not seem to be happy ones and something people thought was in her past. She hadn't been seen like that in a while. I think Hollywood brought the worst out of her, as it does to many.

I am reminded of an interview singer Ginuwine did with Sister2Sister magazine, where he states it is a danger for him leaving the East Coast where he lives to go to Los Angeles, as drugs are everywhere in Hollywood and provide a great temptation. What happened to Houston last week is another reminder of this fact. Sometimes, one of the best things you can do is avoid places that trigger cravings associated with your addiction.

Houston had better friends than those that surrounded her in her last days. People of faith such as Shirley Caesar and Sister Perri (Pebbles). I believe had she spent more time with people like them, things could have been better. But wanting to get back into the swing of things in Hollywood and meet the new writing and production people in town, to restart her career, cost Houston so much.

I can't help but think how much better Houston's life would have been had drugs not entered the picture. She did so much in her 48-years, just imagine how much more she could have accomplished, had she not been incapacitated for several days at a time in her bedroom, struggling with addiction and losing her sobriety. She was naturally beautiful, talented and smart. She really did "almost have it all."

Artists like Eminem, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and a host of others, promote alcohol and drug abuse in their music and via their lifestyles they brag about in interviews and on social networking sites, to impressionable audiences, but it is not a good message.

Drugs negatively changes people, tears families apart and destroys relationships. It destroys a person's self-esteem and sense of self-worth. It destroys one's income, savings and ability to support one's self. How can that be something to brag about. Think before you go out there promoting that next time.

Whitney Houston Is The Latest Hollywood Star To Die Under Tragic Circumstances

Dying at age 48, in good health, alone in a bathtub, is not natural causes. But here we have it again, another Hollywood star has died early and under tragic circumstances. Award winning singer Whitney Houston passed away on Saturday, February 11, 2012 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California. She was found naked in the bathtub, with her head underwater and strong pharmaceutical drugs and alcohol in her system. Empty and partially depleted pill bottles were found in her hotel suite, along with an open champagne bottle and Heineken beer can. She was 48-years-old. For years the Judiciary Report has warned against mixing certain medications and drinking alcohol during said times as well.

Houston became the most famous female singer in the world beginning in 1985, on a string of number one hits and albums, the likes of which has not been seen since. Due to the range and quality of her great voice, in tandem with her unprecedented music success in the mainstream, she is the top female vocalist America has ever produced. Houston was the Queen of Pop and the Queen of R&B.

After the first 7-years of unprecedented success for Houston, with fame came challenges - namely heavy drug and alcohol abuse being introduced into her life, with her marriage to Bobby Brown in 1992 (sorry, Bobby, but it's true). Many commented that prior to Brown, Houston was alert, on time for events and did more career work. However, that changed when she got married and people publicly commented on and wrote about it.

Over the years, the Judiciary Report and its sister sites have chronicled Houston's troubles, with the wish she would get better. Several months ago, on July 25. 2011, the Judiciary Report wrote of similarities between British powerhouse vocalist and addict, Amy Winehouse, who died at age 27 in 2011 and Houston, as both struggled with drug and alcohol addicted husbands, which eventually led to their own demise (Amy Winehouse Died In Bed).

A day and a half prior to her death, Houston was seen in a daze with a slit wrist and blood on her legs, as she departed club Tru in Los Angeles. Days prior she was also seen with rapper Ray-J, who sorry to say, has been a bad influence on the women he dates (see: Kim Kardashian, who he sold out for $1,000,000). When I saw a photo of Houston with Ray-J several days ago, I got a bad feeling.

Media Take Out ran an article the day before Houston died claiming she had slit her wrist and was bleeding in the club (see next photo)

However, at the end of the day, Houston, just like everyone else in life, is responsible for their choices. But bad company does not help. As the Bible says, "Bad company ruins good morals." Houston had a lot of bad company, such as Ray-J, R. Kelly and other hangers-on that facilitated destructive habits she acquired in Hollywood and negative choices that were rendered. Brown has been a bad influence for many years as well and their divorce was very acrimonious, but credit to him, he has received help in turning his life around over the past couple years. How long it lasts is up to him.

Every album Houston released was a success, except for her last CD, 2009's "I Look To You." It was the first flop of her career. The songs produced by Alicia Keys and R. Kelly were unoriginal and uninspired, leading to Houston's first bomb on the charts. The CD was also poorly received by the public, as discussed on CNN this past Saturday. Subsequent touring resulted in disaster as well, as Houston's voice kept giving out and she became sick, which lead to disgruntled concert-goers.

Even her final appearance, which occurred last week, in which she sang a duet with Kelly Price, it is evident her voice had been seriously damage from years of drug and alcohol abuse. It was not intentional, as Houston loved to sing, but a side effect of hardcore drug use that many singers have found out about the hard way. Weeks before she died, there were also rumors that Houston had gone broke (Reports Indicate Whitney Houston Has Lost All Of Her Money And Is Asking For Donations). Things were not well with Houston. All the signs were there.

Houston is survived by her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, who was hospitalized twice in the hours proceeding her mother's death. The two were very close. Bobbi Kristina Brown and her dad also struggle with hard drug and alcohol abuse and need to view Houston's death in part as a wake up call, lest they pass prematurely as well. No human is invincible.
