Nineteenth-century preacher Henry Ward Beecher's last words were "Now comes the mystery." The poet Dylan Thomas, who liked a good drink at least as much as Alaska, said, "I've had eighteen straight whiskeys. I do believe that's a record, " before dying. Alaska's favorite was playwright Eugene O'Neill: "Born in a hotel room, and-- God damn it--died in a hotel room." Even car-accident victims sometimes have time for last words. Princess Diana said, "Oh God. What's happened?" Movie star James Dean said, "They've got to see us, " just before slamming his Porsche into another car. I know so many last words. But I will never know hers. . John Green
About This Quote

I did not know the last words of the famous female singer Whitney Houston. I was very surprised to know that she died in her bathtub. I do not think that there is more mystery about this matter than what she said. It was just the same as any one of these three things, "What's happened?" "They've got to see us." Or, "They think we are crazy." It has no more mystery than that.
