Whitney Houston Dead at 48
This seems to be the year so far in which famous singers are continually dying. Whitney Houston died a week ago at the age of 48.
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.
Drugs have been a large part of her downfall since her marriage to Bobby Brown. All anyone can do now is learn from it and get better from it. RIP Whitney. Article and excerpt from MSNBC.com
