Feel sorry for her, she must have had the worst upbringing via her drugged out parents.

Very tragic, especially after the death of Whitney which wasn't that long ago

Yes, and there are people complaining about death penalties given to drug dealers... This (and thousands more) is what drugs can do. Destroys entire families and takes countless lifes...

Tragic. Frankly not sure she had such a bad life (compared to billions on the breadlines or in war zones or whatever) and not sure all this can be blamed on drug dealers. how about invasive reporting? Inability to live private life. Price of fame? and sure plenty of other things that bugged her and her mother that we just don't know about....

and archaic drug laws have done absolutely nothing to stop this or even slow it.

I remember all the Whitney fans gathered across the US held those candlelight vigils when she passed. I sure Bobbi's passing won't have fans lighting up, her music career never really took off, if there was ever one in the first place.

incorrect and lazy fallacy. Links to this wild, baseless claim please.

The war on drugs is an even bigger failure than the war on terrorism. More than 30 years the war on drugs has been going on, and drugs are everywhere, in every class of society.

I don't care for links myself. We know what we know and we got what we got from our experiences @home and abroad. On that note, I agree with strangerland.

The war on drugs is (was) a big failure. Drugs are everywhere in the US. In my native LA and its surrounding suburbs, you got the $$, they got your disease. It's up to parents to teach their kids to "just say- No."

Who needs hardcore mind altering drugs and amphetamines?? On a nice summer day (like today), cold beers all day long are all you need.

This (and thousands more) is what drugs can do.

What is it that drugs make you do ebisen? Make unsubstantiated assumptions?

If prescription drugs can help a suicidal person, why can't recreational drugs?

Why would you assume that recreational drugs are the problem, when it could be their illegality, resulting in lacks of supply stability (and thereby reducing steady but measured use) and impurities in the drugs?

And why focus on the relatively few drug users who commit suicide rather than the majority who do not? And all the while not bother to factor in the number of people who were already suicidal and depressed before they ever tried any drug at all?

I believe that regulation of drugs would accomplish wonders. It was much the same when alcohol prohibition got tossed out for the abject stupidity it was.

Interestingly I'm watching Last Week Tonight with John Oliver as I type, and they are discussing mandatory minimums. They're talking about a guy who at 24 years old sold a bit of pot, but since he was carrying a gun, he got a mandatory minimum of 55 years in prison. Child rapists only get 11 years. Airplane hijackers only get 24 years.

Poor thing. Her life was unnatural and now some are suggesting her death was too.

Who would benefit from her death?

0 ( +0 / -0 )

first off, there is no indication that drug use played a part in her death. after she was admitted to the hospital, they would have performed drug tests on her immediately.

secondly, alcohol-related deaths far outnumber illicit-drug-related deaths (in the US at least). So why not let adults choose which poison they want?

nakanoguy01 - absolutely. Very sad to see some posters here cry about drugs when we don't know the facts of the story yet. Very irresponsible of them.

Strangerland: ... They're talking about a guy who at 24 years old sold a bit of pot, but since he was carrying a gun, he got a mandatory minimum of 55 years in prison. ...

Weldon Angelos, indicted on 17 counts, including "one count of possessing a firearm which had the importer's and manufacturer's serial number removed, obliterated and altered", and convicted by jury on 16 counts.

His 2006 appeal denied unanimously by three judges:

http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-10th-circuit/1090676.html

... Although the Supreme Court has reviewed Eighth Amendment challenges to a number of state and federal sentences, it has struck down only two of them over the past century. ... Although the district court concluded that Angelos's sentence was disproportionate to his crimes, we disagree.   In our view, the district court failed to accord proper deference to Congress's decision to severely punish criminals who repeatedly possess firearms in connection with drug-trafficking crimes, and erroneously downplayed the seriousness of Angelos's crimes. ...

So, what happens with her estate now? does it go to mr Brown, or the government? has she made a will?

Cripes, one this is about the death of a popular singer's child, and some idiots have to thread jack, (and get away with it as well....mystery there too) ..go figure.

When I first read about how they found her, I thought I was reading about her mom. The odds of her dying in such a similar manner by accident seem pretty unlikely...

Drugs need to be legalized. She would still be alive if they were.

Sad. Check out how happy Bobbi looks on stage withe her (then) strung-out mom-Whitney.

And BTW, the appeal denial says the cops found 18 duffle bags in his house with pot residue and smell. Not 'a bit of pot'. But the idiot(s) who filed or signed off on the warrant restricted it to his car and a safe in the house, not the entire house, so the duffle bags, body armor, other guns, surveillance equipment, etc. found in the house were excluded from evidence.

I thing her "husband" had something to do with it. Weren't there rumors of fights, and talk of her kicking that freeloader out of her house and life?

Interesting. There definitely seems to be more to the story. But that said, 55 years still seems excessive.
