Whitney Houston No More
The legendary Music Queen found dead in her hotel room. She was 48.
Whitney Houston, the iconic American singer whose battles with drugs, alcohol and ex-husband Bobby Brown marred her star power, died on Saturday. She was 48.
Houston’s publicist confirmed the singer’s death to ABC News. Her cause of death is not yet known. Representatives from the Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed that the singer died in a hotel room at the Beverly Hilton hotel.
Police got a 911 call from hotel security at 3:43 p.m, P.I.O. Lieutenant Mark Rosen said. Efforts to revive her were unsuccessful and she was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, were among the people that were immediately notified of her death.
Rosen said Houston’s cause of death has not yet been determined and no “obvious signs of foul play” have been seen.
Today, TMZ reported that Houston’s aides found her in the bathtub of her hotel room with her face underwater. An autopsy is expected to be conducted today or Monday, according to KABC.
Houston was scheduled to perform Saturday evening at a pre-Grammy Awards party for producer and mentor Clive Davis. The party went on despite the star’s death, and the presence of numerous police vehicles, including a crime lab bus, outside the hotel.
Among the stars and celebrities who showed up for the party were singer Alicia Keys, soul legend Gladys Knight, entrpreneur Richard Branson, and jazz great Herbie Hancock.
