LOS ANGELES — Whitney
Houston, who ruled 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, died Saturday. She was 48.
The 48-year-old singer died Saturday on the eve of the Grammy Awards.
She had been expected to attend a pre-Grammy gala but was found dead
hours before the event. Paramedics attempted to revive Houston, but were
unsuccessful.
Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen told reporters outside the
Beverly Hilton that Houston was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. in her room
on the fourth floor of the hotel. A coroner's van left the hotel with
Houston's body in the early hours of Sunday, NBC News reported.
