be placed on the results of this autopsy to allow their investigation to proceed. there were many people at the beverly hilton hotel when whitney houston died. there is a lot of evidence that they need to go through. the coroner is saying these security holds are very common especially in high profile celebrity deaths. one was placed on the autopsy of michael jackson, for example. the coroner saying he would not discuss reports of prescription medication bottles found in the hotel room or the possibility that any other drugs may or may not have been found there. he is saying he will not have other comment until perhaps wednesday of this week. those toxicology results will not be available for perhaps six to eight weeks according to the coroner. that means we may not know exactly what killed whitney

know that she could trust you, that you were on her side and that you were there for her best. so that was like letter a, the love and the trust. give her flowers or a teddy bear and always make it feel homely and relaxed. and then we get on to wonderful music where she will pour her heart out. she trusted me to help her make her best recordings. outside the studio she had a great sense of humor. loved to laugh and be happy. electricity going through her. her heart was full of fire. very dynamic person. very beautiful person. everyone would love to talk to her and approach her. that was a wonderful quality that she had. >> it's funny that you should say that because i have an older sister with the same personality.

i would just like to caution younger artists male and female and particularly those in the very high level income. that is that they should be prepared for what you are going to do when your success plays out. i would like to put it in the words that my dad put it in to me, cautioned me very early on saying that no matter who you are and no matter how good you are, one day the applause is going to stop. one day the amens are not going to be that. one day the fans may not be there. so be prepared for whatever it is you are going to do when that happens because it is definitely

going to happen. there is always someone coming behind you. you have to be prepared in terms of future income, how you are going to retire and so on so that you don't wind up just being in a position you don't want to be in. so those things are so very, very careful. if the money that is rolling in now for a lot of artists, the money is going to stop. that was the truth. the money is not going to always be coming like it may be coming now. so you have to really look ahead and plan ahead for what you're going to do when it stops because it is going to stop. >> whitney houston had a profound effect on radio listoners. up next the radio community plays tribute.
