Below are upcoming episodes of Autopsy: The Last Hours Of...

On Saturday, June 14 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT Autopsy: The Last Hours Of Whitney Houston features the singer and actress with a once-in-a-generation voice that propelled her into the pop stratosphere. The evidence revealed in Houston's autopsy tells an astonishing story of excess that led to her untimely death in a Hollywood hotel bathroom at the age of just 48. Autopsy: The Last Hours Of Whitney Houston uncovers the cocktail of drugs that contributed to the star's death, from prescription medications to marijuana and freebase cocaine. The evidence also offers insight into the final minutes of Houston's life alone in a bathroom and the causes of her death, how she died and the desperate battle to save her life.

On Saturday, June 21 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT it's Autopsy: The Last Hours Of Michael Jackson. He was the biggest-selling recording artist of all time but when he suddenly died at just 50 years young, he left debts in the hundreds of millions and a life shrouded in mystery and speculation. The evidence revealed by his autopsy shows a severely sick man plagued by complications from his many plastic surgeries, two rare skin conditions and a body riddled with arthritis. His autopsy also unmasks the most startling evidence surrounding his death and the role Dr. Conrad Murray played in Jackson's addictions that had spiraled out of control.

On Saturday, June 28 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT it's Autopsy: The Last Hours Of Anna Nicole Smith when Dr. Richard Shepherd investigates the death of Anna Nicole Smith. Her journey from small-town stripper to Playboy pin up, supermodel and movie star captured the public's imagination but it was her marriage to a billionaire 67 years her senior that brought her global notoriety and started her on a downward path that led to her death in a Florida hotel room at the age of just 39. The evidence revealed by her autopsy tells a story of hard living and bears testimony to the addictions that brought about her demise. Smith's autopsy would also reveal two extraordinary pieces of evidence that contributed to her death including a previously undiagnosed condition that could go a long way towards explaining many of the tragic events of her life.
