Whitney Houston Pronounced Dead


According to a Fox News article posted this morning, Whitney Houston may have died after consuming a cocktail of prescription drugs and alcohol.

“It looks like it was a lethal combination of prescription drugs and alcohol, but it’s still to early to rule out other causes. That’s just what it’s looking like now,” a law enforcement official told FoxNews.com.

In what turned out to be her last performance ever on Thursday night, Houston appeared to be acting erratically as she was seen with blood dripping down her leg. The star also allegedly fought with multiple stars in a “tequila induced stupor” during a pre-Grammys party last week.

The 48-year-old singer was found dead in her hotel room on Saturday night, surrounded by six different types of pill bottles.

Aretha Franklin, Houston’s godmother, told Fox News that she was stunned by the  singer’s death. “I just can’t talk about it now,” she said to Fox News. “It’s so stunning and unbelievable. I couldn’t believe what I was reading coming across the TV screen.

Houston was honored at the Grammys last night in a beautiful rendition of “I Will Always Love You” by Jennifer Hudson.
