Legendary singer and actress, Whitney Houston, had a once-in-a-generation voice that propelled her into the pop stratosphere. No amount of talent, however, could protect her from the demons that brought about her death in a Hollywood hotel bathroom at the age of just 48.

 

World renowned Forensic Pathologist, Prof. Richard Shepherd, has been performing high profile autopsies for more than 25 years. His expertise has been called on for the Bloody Sunday enquiry, the aftermath of the September 11 attacks and the inquest into the death of Princess Diana.

 

In this eye-opening documentary on TV3, Prof. Shepherd examines the coroner’s autopsy report on the body of Whitney Houston and reveals an insight into her death: “The thing about autopsy reports is that if you know how to read them, they can give you a whole story of someone’s life, but crucially they can tell you about the days and hours leading up to their death”

 

The evidence revealed by Houston's autopsy tells an astonishing story of excess. It reveals in detail the damage done by years of abuse, from liver and heart disease caused by alcohol and smoking to the perforated septum ravaged by repeatedly snorting cocaine.

 

The programme also uncovers the cocktail of drugs that contributed to the star's death, from prescription medications to marijuana and freebase cocaine. Most importantly, the evidence offers a unique insight into the final minutes of Houston's life alone in a bathroom, finally revealing the causes of her death, how she died, and the desperate battle to save her life.

 

 

‘Who Killed Whitney Houston? The Autopsy’ airs Wednesday 18th June at 10pm on TV3.
