Kind of odd that it happened on the eve before the Grammys. Accidental OD, suicide or just coincidence?

I am going to add that I already am reading a lot of people being petty, and shallow, and judgmental. We have no right to judge others; only ourselves. I choose to remember Whitney for her awesome talent, and not her personal life. She and I had no personal relationship of any kind, so I am not in a position to really know, now am I? As I said before, God bless you, Whitney Houston.
No intent at being petty or shallow, here. What's wrong with quoting her and linking news reports?
Who said it's drugs? Everybody's already assuming the worst...
I wasn't talking about this forum. I have been reading about this all over the web.
No problem. I'm really sad to hear that she is gone. She had such a beautiful voice. It makes you wonder why someone with so much going for her would choose the lifestyle she chose.
I don't really think about things like that.
A lot of people would be surprised by how easily they could have gotten caught up in stuff if things had been a little different.
"There but for the grace of God go I..."

Truly an excellent performance.
I never thought any singer could touch her.
