Very likely. However, like many others, it maybe a case originating from wrongful medication by our drug-crazed doctors, who are under impression that everything needs label and can only be handled with medication.

President Barack Obama Reacts to Whitney Houston's Death
13 Feb.`12 - Whitney Houston left a musical legacy that is pretty impossible to ignore—and the president of the United States is no exception.

"I know that his thoughts and prayers are with her family, especially her daughter," White House press secretary Jay Carney said, referring to 18-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown. "It's a tragedy to lose somebody so talented at such a young age."

"I think it would be hard not to be an admirer of her immense talent," Carney added. He noted that he couldn't be sure whether or not Houston and the Obamas had ever met face to face.

Bobbi Kristina needed to be treated at a hospital for stress-related symptoms yesterday. Houston was found dead in the bathrub in her suite at the Beverly Hilton hotel, where she was staying while in town to attend Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy bash. She was 48.

An autopsy has been conducted but the L.A. County coroner's office is not releasing any specific details or speculating about cause of death pending the result of toxicology tests. Beverly Hills police are also still investigating.

Houston's body being flown to New Jersey for funeral this week, source says
February 14, 2012 -- Coroner's official says jet carrying Houston's body has left Van Nuys airport; Source: Houston's body will be flown to New Jersey for a funeral this week; "Not many prescription bottles" were found in singer's hotel room, coroner says; Coroner: Houston was seen within an hour of her death

What killed Whitney Houston is still an official mystery despite widespread media speculation, but a Los Angeles County coroner official downplayed the suspicion that drugs played a major role Monday. Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said that "not many prescription bottles" were found in the singer's Beverly Hilton hotel room after her death. The amount of medications recovered by investigators was less than usually present in deaths attributed to overdoses, Winter said. "I know there are reports that she maybe was drowned or did she overdose, but we won't make a final determination until all the tests are in," he said. Winter ruled out foul play and said there were no injuries to her body.

There were more questions than answers Monday about Houston's sudden death, as authorities were offering few details. The singer's soaring voice and impressive talent had taken a back seat in recent years to her struggles with drug addiction. With the autopsy completed Sunday, Houston's body was released to her family Monday, Winter said. Los Angeles police deployed around the Van Nuys, California, airport Monday afternoon to provide traffic control support for the expected arrival of Houston's body for a flight, and Winter later said it was his understanding that the body was in a jet that had departed from the Van Nuys airport.

A source close to Houston said Monday that her body will be flown to her native New Jersey, and a funeral service will be held there Friday or Saturday. Authorities have not released a cause of death pending toxicology tests, which should be be available in six to eight weeks. "We do not know (the cause) yet," Winter said. When it is known, the coroner's office will notify police and Houston's family, he said. Winter said Sunday that no additional details, including what was discovered in Houston's room, would be released.

Beverly Hills police have requested a "security hold" on the coroner's report, a common practice in high-profile cases that limits what can be revealed about an investigation while it is ongoing. Asked how long Houston had been dead before she was found, he said she was seen by someone -- a family member or someone at the hotel -- within an hour of her death. Winter confirmed reports that Houston was found in the bathtub of her hotel room. "I believe somebody removed her from the bathtub and the paramedics did CPR on her," he said Sunday. Paramedics found Houston "unconscious and unresponsive" when they arrived and she was pronounced dead after several minutes of resuscitation efforts, Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen said Monday.

why drugs shouldremain illegall

Yeah, because if they're illegal, they would not have been able to gain access to them.

Oh wait ...
