Whitney Houston's Autopsy Results: Body Burnt And Bruised

The autopsy on Whitney Houston's body revealed that large parts of the late singer's skin was burnt off from the scalding hot bath in which she was found.

The shocking report states that she had patches of "skin slippage" from the hot water burns on several parts of her body.

There is speculation that Houston could have been so out of it that she did not realise, or feel, how hot the water was. The bath water was 33°C (93.5°F) six hours after she passed away, revealing how unbeleivably hot it would have been when she first got into it.

Whitney was found face down and unresponsive in about 13 inches of water on February 11th and died at the age of 48.

The startling revelations of how badly damaged her body is an indication as to how much her lifestyle took a toll on her, leading to her untimely death. Some scars were recent while others were from years of neglect.

The Los Angeles County Coroner's report shows that Houston had a perforated septum, likely to be from the large amounts of cocaine she consumed in her lifetime.

It has to be mentioned that Houston also had scars and abrasions on her arms and legs and bruises on her shoulders and head.
There were also two scars under Houston's breasts, believed to be from a breast augmentation procedure. It is also thought she had other cosmetic surgeries going by the marks on her stomach and upper thigh.

Just to mention that Houston was seen with blood dripping from her legs just a few days before she died after stumbling out of a nightclub in Los Angeles.

The autopsy report also showed that Houston was wearing a "maxillary dental prosthesis" and had 11 false teeth.

Whitney's body was discovered face down in the bath tub, "her eyes were congested and there was a bloody purge coming from her nose."

There was "superficial abrasions to the left side of her forehead and the bridge of her nose." She also had cuts on her left arm, hand and shoulder.

It was a sordid end for Houston and officials insist there were absolutely no signs of foul play.

The report also confirms details of the drug paraphernalia found among Houston's belongings.

There was a "spoon with a white crystal-like substance on it" and a "white powdery substance", which was later tested and determined to be cocaine in Houston's hotel room.

The report, which gives a detailed description of the state of the Beverly Hilton hotel room when officials arrived, reads: "Located on the south portion of the counter was a small spoon with a white crystal-like substance in it and a rolled up piece of white paper, along with other miscellaneous items."

"Located in the top drawer, in the north side of the counter were remnants of a white powdery substance, and a portable mirror on a base." Officials discovered more white powder on the base of the mirror.

It also reveals the probable cause of death: "[Whitney] possibly overdosed on a narcotic substance, prescription medications, over the counter medications and alcohol."

The report also notes that when officials discovered the body, Whitney was wearing a brown wig "tightly attached to the hair."

The wig was removed revealing a a full head of wavy black hair with "no balding."

It has to be said that Houston also had traces of marijuana in her system as well as Xanax (anxiety medication), Flexeril (muscle relaxer) and Benadryl (allergy medication).

The report also describes a plastic bag ripped open with pills spilling out, medication bottles and an ashtray with cigarette butts all over the place.

When Houston's official cause of death was released in March her heart disease was mentioned, but the new detailed report also cites that she had a hole in her septum and that she was suffering from mild emphysema.

Kristy McCracken of the Beverly Hills Police Department also noticed an old needle puncture wound on Houston's inner left elbow.

On the day she died, Whitney Houston complained of a sore throat, so she decided to take a bath in at her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton before getting ready for Clive's party.

Heartbreaking autopsy results...

Now Whitney is safe in heaven... God bless you for sharing your special gift with the world Whitney! 

RIP Whitney
