Singer Whitney Houston died Saturday in Beverly Hills, according to law enforcement sources.
Authorities are trying to determine a cause of death. [Updated at 5:46 p.m.: She was found in the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where emergency medical personnel were called sometime Saturday, said the sources, who asked to remain anonymous because the investigation is ongoing.]
Houston, 48, was in the Los Angeles area for a musical tribute to music executive Clive Davis and had performed and spoken to reporters earlier in the week.

Prevenient Grace... Forgiveness... not up to us mere humans, but GOD.
She wasn’t a ghetto celebrity. Her father was an American serviceman and exec.
I don’t care what you suggest. You’re nobody to me.
yes
Link?
“Yep, Bobby ruined her.”
Oh, puhlleeaassee!
Bobby had nothing to do with her self-destruction.
To wit, I used to work with a gentleman who lived in the same neighborhood with Whitney. As a matter of fact, his son was a very good friend of Whitney’s when she was a teenager. I recall asking him about Whitney’s self-destructive behaviour (back in 1999) and he informed me she was NEVER the sweetheart that she was portrayed as. He went on the say she was using dope (”smoking weed and snorting blow”) when she was a teenager.
So, stuff it. I don’t care for Bobby Brown either, but it’s not his fault she self-destructed. Why the hell do you think she married Bobby in the first place? The answer is because she was was just like him in every way. She just had a better PR machine promoting her.
The woman was an anorexic cokehead. I could hardly imagine this didn’t have to do with it. Until they announce a cause of death, I’m going with the assumption she had a heart attack from cocaine-related coronary artery disease (the stuff is a known trigger of arterial inflammation)
“Thank Bobby for this.”
Yep.
RIP Whitney Houston, your songs will live forever.
Golly, that was almost exactly 20 years ago.
Absolutely stunning.
God Bless you, precious Whitney.
Yep...
Gee Fabian, haven't you noticed that all entertainers are escorted directly into heaven when they die?
Yes, they all get a free pass. :)
The Daily Beast
really is much more your speed; why you continue to violate your own, ever so clasy sensibilities on FR is just a mystery.
They were divorced nearly five years ago. I’m not so sure he can/should be blamed anymore...
Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers also died from cocaine.
An eclipse is a mystery to a caveman.
She went ghetto, didn’t she?
Has the cause of death been determined?
So, you’re an eclipse now?
How cosmic.
I certainly seem to leave YOU in the dark.
Poor thing, you’re coming off like some warped Dana Carvey Church Lady sans church, with all the angling to prop up your otherwise inexplicable assumptions of superiority.
One fine day, you’re going to have quite the existential crisis, when you finally realize that nothingness really isn’t all that compelling, to you yourself, or to anyone else.
Then, you might begin to wonder about the darkness hovering over you, rather than blithely crowing about it.
