Celebrity ME Compares Whitney Houston Death to Drew Peterson Case

Celebrity medical examiner Michael Baden dropped by On the Record With Greta Van Susteren to talk about the untimely demise of Whitney Houston and compared her death to that of the woman Drew Peterson has been charged with killing.

Baden, who testified in 2010 as an expert witness during pretrial hearings in the Peterson case, told Van Susteren that "many people fall asleep relaxing in the bathtub. They don't drown because if their nose and mouth goes under the water, it'll wake them up. You have to be unconscious to drown."

Baden then went on to connect this to the circumstances surrounding the death of Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found drowned in a dry bathtub in March 2004:

"You're going to see this with Drew Peterson — remember Drew Peterson out in Illinois — is one of the issues that'll come up. But a healthy person who's conscious doesn't drown unless something causes them to lose consciousness."

Peterson has been on charges he murdered Savio.

The Illinois State Police insisted for years that Savio slipped, hit her head and drowned, but were forced to take another look at the case after Peterson's next wife, .

Stacy Peterson remains missing. The state police have named Drew Peterson the sole suspect in what they have termed Stacy Peterson's "potential homicide," but have yet to charge him with harming her.

Authorities are still establishing the cause of Houston's death.
