Whitney Houston found dead
Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy celebration at the Beverly Hilton Hotel was a suppressed affair Saturday night as his renowned guests recoiled to headlines that Whitney Houston had died at an earlier time that day. Whitney, 48, was reportedly found in her bath tub by a bodyguard. Resuscitation was tried, but was not successful.
Houston’s cause of death has not been released. Earlier this week, the troubled singer was shot leaving a pre-Grammys bash with hurts on her wrist and blood running down her leg.
Houston, the winner of 30 Billboard Awards, 22 American Music Awards, two Emmy Awards, and six Grammys, was the most admired female entertainer of all time. Her hit ballad “I Will Always Love You” was the very successful single by any female performer in music history. A number of Houston’s workmates have already revealed their devastation at her passing.
