LOS ANGELES -- Whitney Houston's body was ravaged by scars, cuts and burns when she died, autopsy details showed.

Years of drug and alcohol abuse had left the "Bodyguard" star with a damaged heart and liver, a hole in her nose and 11 front teeth missing.

She also had a needle mark on one arm and was high on a cocktail of nine drugs when she died in a hotel bath in Los Angeles on Feb. 11, 2012.

Evidence from police and medical teams showed swaths of skin was burned from Houston's back after she got into the scalding water. It also resulted in "skin slippage" on her legs.

Sources said the temperature could have been as high as 150F when she got into the tub.

Sad, very sad. What a waste to a drug addition.

She was such a beautiful woman and had a great talent.

How can water from the hot tap be at 150 degrees in a hotel? I thought 120 was about tops for what comes from the faucet. Can't imagine that a hotel would have the thermostat set this high for their hot water.

America is a sad country in that the death of a pop star that was a well known drug addict living on borrowed time for 20+ years qualifies for "politics and controversies" during one of the most trying times in our nations history.

We are screwed.

She was a drug addict. A great star who fell down and became a not so great addict.

At the peak of her career there was nobody who could even dream of coming close to her level of vocal talent. To this day nobody has ever done better justice to the national anthem of this country, Whitney was something special.

That being said, it's pathetic to see how drugs and alcohol can ruin even the brightest career around.

Like many who have gone before her, she will be bigger in death than in life and her estate will bring in millions for many years to come.

Agreed--this thread belongs in the Celebrities Forum.

None other than Rush Limbaugh talked on his show about watching her funeral service and how moved he was. There was a somewhat similar story this week about a football player named Ryan Leaf.

Cougars | Ryan Leaf's life of lies a tragic part of fallen football hero | Seattle Times Newspaper
Blessed with great physical gifts: "There was never any question of Leaf's athletic prowess. Here was a monster of a kid who could dunk a basketball with his elbows in high school and throw a football more than halfway down the field without warming up.

Now he is in jail after being arrested for burglary. He broke into a house trailer in Montana in order to steal prescription opiates.

I still think this is such a shame. Just goes to show, having everything, means nothing at all when one succumbs to the drug cutlure.
Such a waste of such good talent, and in her prime, she could not be touched. So sad her ending.

I just hope her daughter does not have the same fate as her Mother.
Leads me to wonder about the people so many envy.
You can have everything in life, most envy, but if your not a strong person, and strong from within, what a waste, see what drugs do, this should be a lesson for some.
