the singer announced.
She was 48. Our sources tell us a member of
Whitney's entourage found her in her 4th-floor
room at the Beverly Hilton hotel ... and called
hotel security -- who then dialed 911. When
paramedics arrived Houston was found
unresponsive. We're told police arrived to the
scene within minutes and fire was already
there on an unrelated call. According to our
sources, paramedics performed CPR but it did
not work and she was pronounced dead at
3:55 PM.
Our sources say there were no
obvious signs of foul play, but BH PD
detectives have begun a full investigation.
We're told she was ID'ed by family and
friends.L.A. County Coroner Ed Winter told our
photog at 7:09 PM that it is too early in the
investigation to tell what happened (see
below).The singer famously battled drug
addiction for years (see related links
below).
Houston was seen out in Hollywood
Thursday night for a Grammy party ... and she
did not look well (below). She even briefly took
the mic and performed a song while she was
there -- what would become her last
performance. See the video here.Houston won
two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30
Billboard Music Awards, 22 American Music
Awards during her record-breaking career. Her
album "Whitney" was the first female album to
ever debut at #1 on the Billboard Charts. She
has sold 200 million albums
worldwide.
Houston had one child, Bobbi
Kristina, with husband Bobby Brown. Houston
and Brown were married from
1992-2007.
Sources tell TMZ, Whitney Houston
"partied heavily" last night at the Beverly
HIlton hotel where she was staying, drinking
and chatting loudly with friends in the bar --
but Cissy Houston and Dionne Warwick claim
the singer sounded fine just hours before her
death.We're told Bobby Brown is distraught
over Whitney's death -- going "in and out of
crying fits." His band New Edition tells us, they
are "shocked and saddened."Clive Davis' pre-
Grammy party -- which Whitney was supposed
to open -- is going on as scheduled this
evening, though Clive will not be in
attendance.Law enforcement sources tell TMZ,
police are currently seeking a search warrant
to investigate the hotel room where Whitney
was found dead. One item they'll be looking
out for -- drugs.
