Whitney Houston's Cause Of Death Unknown - Criminal Charges? Possible or even probable in this case involving Celebrity Death.
It is widely speculated that the singer/actress who fell from stardom died from an overdose on February 11, the actual cause of death has yet to be released. According to the Associated Press, the star was found in her bathtub at the Beverly Hills Hilton on Saturday afternoon and while no indication of foul play has been speculated about, an autopsy was performed by the medical examiner's office and the results are still pending.
It is not uncommon, particularly where celebrities are concerned for controlled substances to be suplied by friends or in the case of deaths like Michael Jackson or Anna Nicole Smith, their trusted physicians. Here, Whitney came for Grammy weekend and was, in the words of friends, "not protected" from those who might try to get her high. If the post-mortem indicates a drug overdose, it may harken back to John Belushi's death in 1982 where Catherine Smith was charged with murder for giving Belushi his fatal "speedball shot"
Despite being mostly out of the public eye for a few years, and much longer in a positive light, the media has made a circus over Whitney's death and "star-studded" and drama filled funeral with former husband Bobby Brown making an entrance and early exit. With the media hungry to increase the drama, speculation of a criminal twist will send the likes of E!, TMZ and Nancy Grace into a tizzy.
Whomever is responsible could find themselves facing murder or manslaughter charges in addition to drug charges in Los Angeles Superior Court in Beverly Hills and as important, a tremendous challenge in deciding who to trust in the media and amongst the hungry pack of attorneys who would likely rush to their "aid."
The golden rule is never talk to the police. In a Celebrity Death case like this, it goes triple for reporters.
