The newest photo, showing Whitney Houston's full bathtub at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif., apparently shows the place where she drew her last breath, and a gravy boat can be seen in the bottom of the water. TMZ reported that Houston would fill the gravy boat with olive oil when she bathed in order to keep her skin soft.

There are also two hair ties and a towel visible at the bottom of the tub in the photograph. The photograph was taken "moments after police and EMTs removed Whitney's body," according to TMZ.

The other photos from the scene of Whitney's death also depict her final moments in chilling detail.
