The Beverly Hills Police Department responded to an emergency call at the Beverly Hilton hotel Saturday, Lt. Mark Rosen, of the Beverly Hills Police Department said.

Cause of death is not yet known. Way too young to have died yet.
 
She ruined herself. Proved it back in '09 when her singing failed standards on her comeback tour.

Memorex vs live. Live failed 🙁

Very few can abuse drugs (legal or illegal) and stay on top or come back. They all think they can.
 
Wow look at all the self rightesous A-holes
Judge not, Walk a mile, etc.
Drug addiction doesn't discrimante between rich and poor, famous or anonymous and the human compassion is everwhelming, Nicely done
 
Tragic. RIP Whitney. Let's hope that those who supplied her all those drugs feel at least some guilt and remorse. And let's hope that those close to her who could have intervened in some helpful way step up the next time someone else among them are on that same treacherous path to self-destruction.

Sad.
 
They're saying she was found submerged in a bath tub. 🙁

I think it's likely she pulled an EPAD, they already said they found prescription meds in her room.
 
Very sad. She lived in turmoil and tried to treat her turmoil with drugs and other mechanisms of escape. IMany of you out there don't realize how much we all have in common with Whitney...

I do not like her music, but she was an icon that we all know. Also, we all know her story for the most part. It is true that many others out there died at the same time under similar or worse circumstances. However, we are sympathizing with the person/story that we do know about.

Her turmoil started when she started compounding one bad choice with another.

Most people that may be in turmoil do not have the opportunities availed to straighten up.
Regretfully those that have the resources, waste them or refuse to utilize them.
 
She had gifts (talent) and opportunities that 99% of us will never have. I just can't muster up a lot of empathy for her plight as a druggie.....

If you willingly walk off a cliff, don't be surprised if I don't follow.
 
Listen to "The Heroin Diaries" by SIXX AM (Nikki Sixx from Motley Crew is the singer). He tells it like it is about addiction.

I do not wish addiction on anyone, it is a horrific thing. It is easy to never get out of its grasp. When you do, it is never more than an arm's length away from grasping you about the throat again.
 
If you're in the grip of drugs are you willingly following?

I have no ideas of the pressure of fame and money but considering the disproportionate amount of celebrities that end up in similar states compared to the regular population I suspect there is something awry

It is often due to being at the "top" and finding nothing there to sustain you.
