You don't know how she died yet, and no matter what it looks like it could turn out to be something else not related so lay off.
 R.I.P Whitney
Past history will always define a person, she was a crackhead no matter how you look at it.

I wont get into my person history here BUT any addictions can be over come IF you want to.

Such a hard live making/made Millions that we could only dream of, and struggling to make ends meet.
I have no sympathy over any drug abusers regardless if their on tv or not using it for an excuse of hard times.
Money doesnt always make you happy, especially if you are alone in life. Either physically or mentally.

I dislike this argument. They live very different lives than we do. Michael Jackson made who knows how much money.. would you say that he didn't have a hard life because of his messed up childhood?
Not condoning her drug use, but there is always more to it than meets the eye.
Don't take your privacy for granted.
They know the cost but want the fame, it is still a choice they make.

That IS Dollys song and always will be.

One of my co-workers is dying of lung cancer - the doctors literally gave her 5-7 days last Friday.

Would those of you who judge Whitney Houston say that you have no sympathy for my friend and her family because she "brought it on herself"?
I'm sorry - money does NOT make someone happy. If it does, that makes someone very shallow to say that money is enough to make you a happy person. Does it relieve a lot of financial stress? Yes it does. But does it bring happiness into your life? No, it does not.
None of us have had the same life experience that Whitney Houston did. To stand in judgement of her and her ultimate demise is pathetic at best. All of you judging her and her manner of death, you have led a pristine life that allows you to be so judgemental? None of you have made poor choices in your life that you regret? None of you have experienced clinical depression?
She left behind a mother, a daughter, family members who love her. And that's tragic. Just as the death of our hero's in the military is tragic, just as the death of my beloved friend is going to be tragic.
I'm shocked by the lack of compassion in this thread and the vitriol I've read. Seriously.
Would I feel sorry for your friend? No (We all bring on our vices, I smoked for 20ish years knowing the possible outcome) Will I feel sorry for her family? Yes, because they are going to have to watch her die a slow horrible death, she is not just going to go to sleep and not wake up. I am not bashing you but I am just a person that accepts death and the reasons why it happens.

Respect is a word that is thrown around a lot. Remembering a persons history can be viewed as a sign of respect, weather good or bad.
I sure quoted a lot here 
Either way, some may miss her, I will not mainly because she did not have an impact on my family or my life. She died doing what she loved best be it either singing or smoking.
