Eh, I'm sure the mods can merge the topics. I'm seeing it on TMZ, and despite them being sleazy, they're usually accurate.

In the mid 80's she was great.

I know she had a hard time with drugs and a rocky relationship with Bobby Brown. Initial investigation found no evidence of drugs or drug paraphernalia. They're not reporting any obvious cause of death.
She had eleven number one hits. Whitney had a sweet soaring voice and a beautiful physicality with a radiance coming from deep within. You didn't have to be a fan of her style to appreciate that. I remember when she became a superstar with "Saving All My Love For You" in 1985. She was one of those universally loved pop stars...
I'm watching the story unfold on MSNBC.

Xanax was found in her room. It can cause terrible drowsiness when combined with alcohol. She might have returned to her room intoxicated, taken Xanax, gone to sleep in the tub, and drowned. It'll take up to eight weeks for the toxicology screening,so don't hold your breath.

Xanax is a sleeping pill so maybe she needed some calming pill to ease her anxiety.

It can certainly help a person sleep. Xanax is an anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) drug in the benzodiazepine class of drugs, which can be lethal if consumed with alcohol. However, it is very unlikely to be lethal unless great quantities of both alcohol and Xanax are used. I doubt it was an overdose on Xanax and alcohol.
Of course, with the "other drugs" they're talking about, it will be impossible to tell for sure until the toxicology screenings are complete.

Lorazepam (trade name: Ativan) can absolutely knock you on your a$$. I can easily see somebody partaking of alcohol and then the Lorazepam knocking them out. Lorazepam is nasty stuff.
Combine Xanax, Valium, Ativan with an alcohol chaser and you're begging for trouble. :-\\

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I speculate her body was already compromised by long-term substance abuse. She might have been a 48-year-old partying with 68-year-old insides.
I've had Xanax. It's gross. It made me feel like my head was full of mud. Valium and Klonopin are the good benzos, IMO.

Whitney Houston's body has been flown from California to her home state of New Jersey, ahead of a funeral expected later this week.
A gold hearse took her body from Teterboro airport to a funeral home in her hometown of Newark, reports said.
