I Will Always Love You singer Whitney Houston spent her last moments feasting on food and singing to herself before she was discovered dead in her bathtub, according to reports.
The award-winning songstress left the world stunned when she tragically passed away in February 2012 at the age of 48, leaving behind her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown who she shared with ex-partner Bobbi Brown.
Whitney was scheduled to appear at the annual pre-Grammy Awards party hosted by her long-time mentor Clive Davis during the evening on the day she died.

On the morning of February 11, sources claimed she had breakfast at the Beverly Hilton Hotel alongside her daughter Bobbi, but later retired to suite Suite 434 where she ordered more food and took some Xanax.

Talking to Radar Online about her drug addiction, a source told Radar Online: “She frequently took anti-anxiety medications to help her sleep after nights of heavy partying.
“She also took them before big performances to calm her nerves.”
A while later, Whitney apparently then took a phone call from her cousin, singer Dionne Warwick and discussed seating arrangements for the evening.
This was then later followed by another call from her mum, gospel singer Cissy Houston, which the publication described as a “cheerful and upbeat” conversation.

The reports also claimed that Whitney is said to have told her assistant that she had a sore throat and was going to take a bath before the pre-Grammys bash at which she was scheduled to perform at.
It was then believed that the singer reportedly ordered more food via room service, eating a burger with fries while she ran the bath.
Making herself comfortable, Whitney took a turkey sandwich and some jalapeno peppers into the bathroom with her, along with olive oil – presumably to add to the bath to help soften her skin.
Reports claimed, her bodyguards heard her singing to herself in the tub, but as the time approached 3pm they realised she had been quiet for some time.

Worried, one guard called out to Whitney, but there was no response. He also never received an answer when he knocked on the bathroom door so decided to open it.
When he did finally open the door, the guard discovered the singer dead in her bath.
Toxicology reports at the time reports found Whitney had a mix of cocaine, cannabis, Xanax, Benadryl and Flexeril in her system.
Meanwhile her autopsy report discovered that she also had heart disease which was so developed that one of her arteries was 60 per cent blocked.
The official cause of Whitney’s death was given as accidental drowning contributed to by heart disease and the constant use of cocaine.
