299: The Final Days of Whitney Houston

True Crime Obsessed
About this episode
At 3:30 pm On February 11, 2012, 46 year old Whitney Houston--the singing legend and icon--was found unconscious and unresponsive in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hills Hotel. She was pronounced dead within the hour. According to police, "there were no obvious sings of criminal intent" but still, rumors and conspiracy theories have swirled around Houston's death since the moment it happened. So what really happened to Whitney Houston and how did a legend who seemed to be on top of the world end up leaving us so young?
