?It?s when you get into that other stuff ... The trouble with that other stuff is that you forget you?re high. You think you?re taking a bath and you?re not. You?re under the water. It?s a sad, sad thing,? he continued.
Houston?s cause of death is still unknown, but authorities confirmed on Monday that the late singer was submerged in a bathtub when she was first discovered on Saturday afternoon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

According to Chong, Houston?s death was a farewell.
"It?s a sad, sad thing. In a way, though, it was like she was saying goodbye,? he told Access. ?Like she was passing the torch onto Adele. It was a tough one to let go. It was like she came by and said, ?OK, I?m out of here.? It?s a sad, sad thing.?
