Whitney Houston Passed Away, Houston’s body was found inside a bathtub in a room on the fourth floor of the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California, OnTheRedCarpet.com has learned.

Investigators for the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office worked on the scene to find the cause of her death as celebrities poured into the building for a pre-Grammy gala that Houston was supposed to attend. Producer Clive Davis, her mentor, dedicated the event to her. The Coroner’s Office workers transferred Houston’s body out of the building early on Sunday.

Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen said authorities received a 911 call from hotel security at 3:43 p.m. There were “no obvious signs of foul play and no obvious signs of a cause of death,” he said.

“Upon arrival, first responders discovered Whitney Houston unresponsive,” police said in a statement obtained by OnTheRedCarpet.com. “They initiated CPR, but were unable to revive her. At approximately 3:55 p.m. Whitney Houston, age 48 was pronounced dead at the scene.”

“Whitney Houston was positively identified at the scene by members of her entourage which included friends, co-workers and family,” the statement added.”Ms. Houston’s daughter and mother were notified of her death.”

Police would not say if there were any drugs or alcohol were found in the room. The pop, soul and R&B singer had struggled with substance abuse for years. She relapsed and returned to rehab in May.

Houston was set to perform on Saturday at the Beverly Hilton at a pre-Grammy gala for producer Clive Davis, who discovered her. The event took place as scheduled. A crime lab bus was seen parked outside as guests gathered inside the building. Davis and scheduled performer R&B singer Alicia Keys embraced in front of the vehicle.

“It’s semi-festive and .. surreal,” television personality Larry King, 78, told CNN. “I’ve never been at a party like this. Her remains are still in this hotel. They haven’t removed them yet. The police are here. Crowds are outside. The room is packed.”

Whitney Houston I Will Always Love You, Whitney Houston, pop music’s queen until her majestic voice and royal image were destroyed by drug use, volatile behavior and a rocky marriage to singer Bobby Brown, has died. She was 48.
Houston’s publicist, Kristen Foster, said Saturday that the singer had died, but the cause and the location of her death were unknown.

News of Houston’s death came on the eve of music’s biggest night – the Grammy Awards, where she once reigned supreme. Her death is sure to leave a line of heavy hearts on the red carpet of Sunday’s ceremony.
Houston’s long-time manager and mentor, Clive Davis was to hold his annual concert and dinner Saturday; it is unclear if it’s going forward.

At her peak, Houston was 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. Her effortless, powerful, and peerless vocals that combined her gospel roots with modern pop music wowed audiences everywhere. Beautiful, poised, and never over the top sexy, her musings on self-love and falling in love, brought to life by stellar pipes made her a role model and a highly coveted commodity.

Her success carried her beyond music to movies, where she starred in hits like “The Bodyguard” and “Waiting to Exhale.”

She influenced future pop princesses Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey, among others. In fact, Carey sounded so much like Houston when she landed on the scene that many confused the two singers.

Whitney HoustonWhitney Houston, Whitney Houston may be out of the spotlight, but that does not mean less of a diva. The R & B icon delay of a Delta Airlines flight yesterday refused to give up her seat belt.

TMZ reports that Whitney boarded a plane in Atlanta on Wednesday, but hardly the flight took off. Houston refused to comply when asked by a crew member for the seat belt during the standard pre-flight procedures.

After being warned she would be forced to leave the plane if a seat belt fastened, Whitney did not follow orders, but allowed a flight attendant to tie the game for her. The aircraft was cleared after takeoff.
