Whitney Houston dead at 48

No. No. No. No. No.

Whitney Houston is dead. She was 48.

From AP:

Whitney Houston, who reigned as pop music’s queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, erratic behavior and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown, has died. She was 48.

Publicist Kristen Foster said Saturday that the singer had died, but the cause and the location of her death were unknown.

At her peak, Houston the golden girl of the music industry. From the middle 1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world’s best-selling artists. She wowed audiences with effortless, powerful, and peerless vocals that were rooted in the black church but made palatable to the masses with a pop sheen.

From TVNZ:

Whitney Houston’s publicist has confirmed the 48-year-old singer has died.

Kristen Foster says the cause and location of her death is not yet clear but media reports say she died at the Beverly Hilton hotel.

TMZ is reporting that a police crime lab vehicle has been seen outside the hotel.

From TMZ:

Our sources tell us a member of Whitney’s entourage found her in her room at the Beverly Hilton hotel … and called hotel security — who then dialed 911. When paramedics arrived Houston was found unresponsive.

We’re told police arrived to the scene within minutes and fire was already there on an unrelated call. According to our sources, paramedics performed CPR but it did not work and she was pronounced dead at 3:55 PM.

Our sources say there were no obvious signs of foul play, but BH PD detectives have begun a full investigation. We’re told she was ID’ed by family and friends.

Whitney Houston had been staying at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in preparation for the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy party on Saturday night.
