I've not heard reports of any autopsy yet, however. Speculation always seems inappropriate in these circumstances as with Amy Winehouse. Whatever, she escaped club 27. Very sad.

People have OD'd a lot younger than 48. As for Whitney, a very talented musician, but maybe not so good when it came to other choices and decisions.  Most drugs can kill you at any age, as long as you do enough of them or mix them the wrong way.
