Whitney Houston cause of death, autopsy date unknown [VIDEO]

This video shows Whitney Houston in church, singing “Jesus is my portion…” in her latest movie, Sparkle -- and indeed He is, with the superstar now dead suddenly at age 48, as confirmed by her publicist Kristen Foster, reports the Associated Press.

Houston’s cause of death is unknown at this point, however keep track of any Whitney Houston autopsy news here on Google News.

The singer scored seven straight hits in the 1980s, and as I type this article, it doesn’t feel real that the she could actually be dead at such a young age – despite her known struggles with drug abuse. It feels like I’m in shock – the same feeling felt when I first heard the new about Michael Jackson’s sudden and tragic death, hoping that it was just some sick sort of Internet joke or Twitter hoax.

Alas, it is not, with CNN reporting about Houston’s death right now, in reports that will soon most likely morph into the cause of death and autopsy schedule date news.

Discovered by Clive Davis in a New York club, Houston was beloved by many, and her untimely death is stunning even reporters as they deliver the news.

Many people saw her Thursday night at an event for Kelly Price, and there were reports of Whitney looking disheveled, but better than she has appeared in years. Another event with Clive Davis is scheduled for this evening, Saturday night, the day the news of her shocking death broke, in an event that will turn into a tribute to that beautiful yet troubled soul.

May her soul finally rest in peace with God.
