Legendary pop singer and film star Whitney Houston has died in her hotel room after a long battle with hard drugs and alcohol that blighted her career. She was 48. The star was found by her bodyguard drowned in a bathtub in a room containing prescription pill bottles, according to sources.
Paramedics battled to revive the singer but she was pronounced dead at 3.55pm yesterday afternoon.
Her frantic daughter Bobbi Kristina is said to have got into a 'furious screaming argument' with police who refused to let her into the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles to see the body of her dead mother.Friends of Miss Houston's cousin Dionne Warwick, who also went to the hotel to try to see the body, have said that she is 'inconsolable'.
The cause of death is not yet known. There were no illegal drugs in the fourth floor hotel suite but the previous evening she had 'partied heavily' with friends at the hotel bar, claims TMZ. As the singer's body was wheeled to an ambulance, just yards away stars including Bitney Spears and Kim Kardashian were taking part in the pre-Grammy Awards party at the hotel. Miss Houston had been due to attend the event which was organised by her mentor Clive Davis.The surreal scene inside the hotel event unfolded with Mr Davis paying tribute to the singer, before saying: 'Now ladies and gentlemen, let the music begin.'
