Wait a second! Not so fast! I would like to take a few moments to point out some inconsistencies in the Whitney Houston death story. Let's start with the known and indisputable facts first.
Whitney has a history of crack / cocaine use. Whitney has a history of alcohol abuse. Whitney has a history of unstable married life which ended in divorce. Whitney has lived an obscure life until the eve of the 54th Grammy Awards. Whitney's family states that they spoke to her mere moments before her alleged death and that she was thriving happily. The Beverly Hills Fire Department was already on the scene BEFORE they were dispatched by their city call center on a supposedly unrelated call, the Beverly Hills Police Crime Lab was spotted on - scene which is inconsistent with the General Order book on celebrity deaths, two different stories were had about who found her; first it was Ray-J, and then it was her body guard. The police response was a little too fast for a busy place such as Beverly Hills.
We know that crack / cocaine addicts never recover from their addiction and never give it up. They always die from their addiction, always. No matter how hard a cocaine addict claims to have given it up, they're lying. We have a publicist who first said that there was no information about place or cause of death, and a pattern of revolving door behaviors. The police LT. issued a statement which is also inconsistent with any police department's policies on celeb deaths. The scene the LT. described is inconsistent with a sudden death, and any experienced medical examiner would say so. Let's add that the family was REALLY quick to gather at the family home in Alpharetta, Georgia.
Whitney was on and off with Ray-J, and had countless stalkers. Whitney has a history of bankruptcy. Whitney was a Hollywood celeb, and Hollywood is a place filled with more than just drugs and other addictions; it's filled with TONS of open and underground criminal activity along with political corruption. Whitney has a history of partaking in all of the things on that list.
These are the facts, Jack! Given all of these facts, it is more believable to think that this is a poorly orchestrated death so that Whitney could be taken into protective custody for either an over-due drug debt owed to a rather well-known and well-armed drug dealer, or to protect her from a stalker, an obsessed ex, or some other meritorious situation warranting such action.
Someone close to Whitney admits to calling her to confirm that they would be sitting at the same table at the Grammy event or some related function. This also happened just mere minutes before she "died". An experienced medical examiner would tell you that there is no such thing as a sudden death with absolutely no clues as to what happened or why. NOT in THIS day and age!
This author possesses tons of training in sensitive investigations such as this, and is well aware of just how the police would really handle a true death scene such as this. The facts are that the police would NEVER allow publicity to get out until AFTER the body was removed, AFTER the medical examiner has released the body to the family, AFTER a death investigation was completed, AFTER all the final paperwork has been signed, and a crime lab would NEVER have been allowed to respond because department policies everywhere prohibit that sort of thing for a celeb death. The Department would simply call for the medical examiner and then follow the medical examiner vehicle to the morgue, and then notify the family or other next of kin.
First, Whitney's body was found on the floor and now people are saying she was found DOA in the bathtub in her hotel room. Detectives are waiting on a warrant to search the hotel room as this story is being printed here. Why a warrant? Why for a death investigation of this nature? These are exigent circumstances and so no warrant is needed!
Something else you need to know: ALL celeb deaths are investigated as potential homicides. That means NO ONE gets to talk, NO ONE! There are also NO PRESS CONFERENCES as a matter of time honored practice and as a matter of policy UNTIL AFTER an autopsy is completed and results are final.
The Whitney Houston death story stinks badly and has holes so big you can drive a truck through them. Again, these are facts instead of just mere opinion. If Whitney is indeed dead, this whole mess was handled with such disregard for policy and protocol that someone or maybe a number of people should be fired. The reason for suspicion also has to do with the fact that Whitney's death has been rumored publicly for many years off and on, and also due to the fact that all of the information is highly inconsistent with the kind of life Whitney lived and what is known about people who live her kind of life, people like Whitney who have certain risk factors and certain specific behavior patterns.
If she is indeed dead, let us all bet on manslaughter or other nefarious circumstances surrounding her death. We can bet that the family remembers how the Michael Jackson death was handled, the circus it turned into and maybe they wanted to avoid it. You can reasonably bet there were family tensions that would have tempted someone close to her to just make her go away and make it look (A) Natural or (B) Circumstances such that the cause and the scene would prove to be difficult to investigate.
Whatever the story really is, no one will likely know for sure.
****UPDATE**** Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina was refused access to view her mother's body when other family members and friends were allowed in to view the body. Now it is said that the BHFD was at the Beverly Hills Hilton because of the pre-grammy awards functions. How many times are the stories going to change here?
Update #2: 2/11/2012 Those visitors and staff members at the Beverly Hills Hilton are indicating that police at the scene are now making comments about Whitney Houston possibly being the victim of a violent murder. This information is not confirmed and is strictly a rumor at this time. Keep your attention here for further real-time coverage. Whitney's body is still on-scene and that HAS been confirmed.
Update #3 2/11/2012 Whitney Houston body removed from hotel room by medics and is enroute to the medical examiner. New speculation says that police have found prescription drugs in her room and that she may have drowned in her bathtub.
Update #4 Feb 12th 2012, on 2/12/2012, The L.A. Medical Examiner's Office says they completed an autopsy on Whitney Houston and results are being deferred until toxicology reports are received by their office. Whitney Houston's daughter was taken to the hospital twice last evening (2/11/2012) for mental health emergencies surrounding her mother's alleged death. Speculation is now resting on a combination of Xanax pills mixed with alcohol as a possible cause of death. Reporters at the hotel last night say that an ambulance screamed away with lights and sirens activated at the same time as the medical examiner's van left the hotel. Reporters are saying they did not observe a body in the medical examiner's van.

THIS VIDEO shows the coroner's van leaving the hotel WITHOUT a police escort per police department policy in a suspicious death situation involving a celebrity.
In these videos, you can see through the tinted windows in the back of the coroner's van. You'll only see one person driving the van and no one in the front passenger seat of the van, no one in the rear of the van attending a body as is usual protocol in any death involving the response of the coroner's office for this specific type of situation. THIS ARTICLE describes erratic behavior in Whitney's recent past.
