It just came across AP. Yep, it's sad but true, she had SO many demons, I pray for her soul, and her family survivors. My wife's favorite movie is the BodyGuard, which means I've seen it hundreds of times. Drugs kill people (NOT saying this was the case, but probably an after effect of years of abuse, normal people don't die at 48.

Just saw it announced on Twitter.

She was 6yrs older than me. I thought she was a lot older than 48.

How tragic. She had such a beautiful voice.

Thanks Earl, I don't check the news often, so hadn't heard. I hate it when our young talented stars commit involuntary suicide with drugs.

Her cousin was Dionne Warwick, another beautiful voice.

RIP Whitney

I loved her voice, that makes two in a short period of time Amy Winehouse also died not too long ago as well. Drugs are taking too many peoples lives.
Then Michel Jackson, it seems the list goes on and on all through the decades. I don't understand why people waiste their money and fame and their lives on drugs. If I had money like that, it wouldn't be my choice! Too bad nobody could stop her. I will keep her in my prayers, and I hope all of you do on NT. We lost another beautiful voice. ginnie

They havent said yet if it was drug related (I wont be surprised if that's the cause tho)

There was a news report from yesterday or the day before that showed pictures of her with blood running down her legs and she had a scratch on one arm. (coming out of a nightclub) and she was looking really disheveled.

I will bet money that it's drug related in some way...either directly from drugs, or something from years and years of drug use.

Going to go look and see if I can find a link to the story I saw earlier with those pictures of the scratch on her arm and blood running down her leg.

I have all of her early CDs, she was one of my favorite singers. This is so sad. I loved her music and then she married Bobby Brown and she started taking drugs. I feel like he corrupted her and her life went downhill. What a loss of a great talent. I feel so bad for her children.

So sad!

I loved her music..... RIP Whitney.

She led such a troubled life all in the name of love. She loved Bobby so much, but he led her down a very dark path. Her child was in constant danger from those two dummies and I pray to God that her child grows up with some counseling for all that she saw (watching both her parents high, and silly) and that someone with a solid stable influence now appears for her.

I LOVED her voice, but in the end she destroyed it. After her many rehab stints her voice was just never the same. She had a god given talent and wasted it! Trapped by her own demons and selfish ways.

I pray she finally finds the peace she so desperatly sought.
