Whitney Houston passed away on 2/11/12 - Part 1

[MsFacetious]

Okay... I am not losing my mind. Yet.
Bobbi WAS at the hospital last night AND today. That explains the three separate calls last night and only two transports.

We're told she was "hysterical, exhausted and inconsolable."

And that picture right there of Bobbi?? The one of Whitney's body being removed on the stretcher?
THOSE are the reasons I couldn't go into photojournalism. I wanted to... it was perfect.
Photography and these cases. My two passions.

Right up until I stood there and watched them bring Ethan Stacy down... camera around my neck, hands in my pockets.
I watched people around me videotaping and photographing while I struggled not to cry...
I knew then I could never be in media, period. There are some things I just wouldn't photograph.
I just can't get over how WRONG it is.

I hope she doesn't go the wrong way because of this.

RS

I am terribly worried about her, she has had problems before (just google) and this could really send her over the edge. I hope Cissy and Dione can help her for a while, or someone that has no contact with drugs.

I was just reading this morning this story in the Daily Mail, and feeling bad for thinking, "Well, can't be long now."

Houston we have a problem... again! Whitney emerges from a nightclub looking extremely worse for wear

Awwww don't feel bad wfgodot. Who read that didn't think it? It's inevitable. Back in October I posted a link to where Ms. Houston threw a tantrum on a plane on her way to do her new movie. When I read it I thought "Danger, danger Whitney".

People see what they want. They also ignore what they want. No matter how this phenomenaly talented woman passed away folks will look back and wonder if there was signs of drug abuse. Did she pick up?


Just me and what do I know, but seeing Miss Houston on TV back in the summer I thought she may be drinking. Her abdomen was swollen like you see indicative in many females who suffer from alcoholism.

Nobody with an addiction like this poor woman had should have been drinking up in a club or at the bar afterward if that's true. You pick up before you ick up.

Just reminds me of Billie Holiday. Billie dying of alcoholism shocked so many people because of her past heroin addiction.

Prayers for the still suffering out there.

Big prayers for Miss Houston who was Blessed with one of the finest talents ever exhibited. I was so, so pulling for her like so many others who love her.

This poor kid, right?

I recall they had pictures of her getting high? Maybe smoking weed?

In all honesty I thought the poor child looked high on the red carpet. No doubt I am wrong, but just an observation.

Dear Lord I hope they don't send her with her old man. Please no.

Positive thoughts for a young lady that has lost her mother so tragically and sudden.

Past behavior is also an indicator of future behavior. And it seems Whitney was going down a familiar path from at least last Wednesday. IMO, she was an addict. But you don't have to be an addict to succumb to drugs. There is an epidemic of legal prescription drug deaths. So many people have a drug for anxiety, another for sleeping and so on. They don't realize they are in the same class and have to be taken at least six hours apart. And mixing them with alcohol is always dangerous. If recent famous drug deaths are any indicator, IMO, this will probably be ruled drug intoxication or multiple drug intoxication, along with any physical problems she may have had at the time.

Yes I understand all of that. But I am in no rush to give my opinion on what caused her death.

The point of my post was to say that.

I'd rather await the official word.

She hasn't even been gone 24 hours.

God forgive me and not meaning to be preachy or a know it all. However, Miss HOuston was an addict. We know that. DOC? Let's say crack. Something speedy.

No matter her DOC if you give an addict Xanies or a bottle of beer or whatever they more than likely will take way more than the recommended dose. Not at first probably, but up the line. Anything that changes your brain chemistry that feels good to an addict they are going to abuse. You take 2 the addict will take 4. You drink a few drinks an addict will have way more. The scarriest part it leaves a person open to their DOC.

The goal is to either not feel or feel different. You're out partying the night before and then have to go attend a function with all those other talented people? Man, I wouldn't want to do it if I was an addict. Not sober anyway.

Just wanted to post this because if some Doctor was writing scripts for Miss Houston I'd be flippin mad. Of course she could get what she wanted without a Doctor, but who wouldn't write Whitney Houston a prescription? I wish nobody.





Hoping these orbs in this photo aren't dust. I'd love to think the angels needed a better singer and came to get her. Who has ever sang "The National Anthem" better than Whitney Houston?

respectfully snipped for space

People talked about orbs when Caylee was found. Looks like lens dust to me but I am very interested in this. Does anyone know of a good link for this phenomenon?
ty in advance!

Sorry for O/T, but I'll link for you.

I became interested from a photo of my dad and DD on Christmas eve after Church. My dad passed fairly young and healthy not 12 hours later in front of us. I took alot of photos at the same time and the only one with this huge colored orb was the one with dad and DD.

gngr~snap there's vortices as well.

Hotel guest on floor below complained night before that 'water was pouring from Miss Houston's bathroom'

odd! this sounds like she never turned the water off. It took her entourage an hour to realize the water was STILL running? smh

Yes... this is my point as well. I realize her past behavior and what the odds are. I get that.
Addicts still can die from suicide, homicide, heart attacks, strokes, brain tumors, brain aneurysms, pulmonary embolisms... etc.
There have even been a few celebrity addicts that died and it was NOT from an overdose. Everyone was stunned.

I come from a LONG line of addicts...
I chose to take an opiate blocker for my MS... so narcotics don't work and too much alcohol makes me very sick.

Some people, think I'm nuts. I don't take painkillers after surgery. Or when I separate my shoulder.
Making sure there is absolutely NO risk of addiction, is far more important to me than taking away pain for a few weeks.

The physical pain from injury or surgery, is hopefully temporary. The damage done by addiction... lasts forever. :twocents:

How does the water pour DOWN but not UNDER the door to where her bodyguard and others are?? What am I missing?

If the floor was wet, that might explain the thumps. People might have fallen trying to run in there to get her out.

Everything very well said, I snipped for space.

You are correct, the damage is done not only to the addicted, but also to those that love them, or even just come into contact with them. The addicted become some person they never were, driven by the need to get the drug at any cost. You should be very proud of yourself for doing what you do MsF, I'm sorry for whatever you went through before, at least you saw and choose not to repeat. :heart:

Source TMZ: Mike Galonos reporting that family members have said that Whitney Houston was taking Xanax. Prescription medications were found in her hotel room. Houston may have fallen asleep in bathtub.

What is Xanax for depression, have no idea.

The articles today said WH was taking it for anxiety.

Bobbi Kristina returned to Cedars around 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, according to multiple sources and police.

"She went back to the hospital for the same thing – stress and anxiety," says the family source.

She was later cleared medically and released.

3 hours?? Seriously?? She is having a "complete breakdown" and is released after 3 hours?!?! :banghead:

Wow! You sound just like me.

I have chronic pain. But it's very rare I take anything.

I have a horrible anxiety towards taking medicine.

I also have several addicts in my family tree.

Wow I think I need a break!
I can't stop laughing :floorlaugh: visualizing that!
It's not funny at all. I must be a lil twisted.
OR I needed a good laugh today.

Re-reading the article it sounds like this occurred Thurs night not Friday?
It sounds like she mat have "passed out" in the tub Thursday night as well!

 

[21merc7]

Man 3 hours is not good. I know she is 19 and can go on her own, but she really needs someone older and wiser around. Not let go so she can return to the hotel where her mom died. Uh uh, no way. Not good.

If it was an anxiety attack, they wouldn't keep her for that.

Lol, I get what you are laughing about.

The water should have went out the tub, onto the floor, unless the hotel has holes in pipes and ceiling/floors. Makes no sense that the water went down, unless they really meant the sound of water running in the tub. Down the spout? Perhaps a country/regional language issue?
