For two reasons: Still don't know yet the role drug use played in her death, AND such statements show a profound misunderstanding of addiction as an illness.

Exactly. It doesn't matter how she died, statements like "Who cares she dead?? It's her own fault, she brought this on herself" are just flat out rude. She wasn't a saint but she
was a person. She was someone's mother, daughter, and friend. To say she doesn't deserve to be mourned is totally unwarranted. This would be true even if she wasn't "The Late, Great Whitney Houston."
