Her official cause of death, however, is not on the certificate — pending further investigation.
Five days after Whitney Houston died suddenly in a bath tub at the Beverly Hilton, her death certificate was officially filed in Los Angeles County. Daughter Bobbi Kristina is, of course, listed as her next of kin, along with other basic facts about the legendary icon. The only thing not listed is Whitney’s cause of death. There is still a pending investigation into what exactly killed her.
