Yes it was sad, but...

I realize that it was sad to hear that Whitney Houston passed away at the age of 48. The world has lost a talented entertainer.  My sympathies go out to the family.

However, that it should be surprising that someone who has had all of the personal issues (admitted to and suspected) and has abused their body such as was seen over the years just doesn't make sense.  Even if one turns into the paragon of healthy living, damage done prior to that point is still damage done.  No, I was not surprised. 

Why bring this up?  Because I am tired of turning on the TV, looking at the news sites and listening to the radio and hearing about details of her death day in and day out.  She's gone.  Please let the family grieve in peace.  Get on with reporting news that we need to know, not rehashing this news story in a different way every day.  This is why more and more young people look to The Daily Show for accurate news than CNN.
