Whitney Houston dead at the age of 48 one day before 2012 Grammy Awards

Whitney Houston, whose sublime voice carried her to the pinnacle of the music world before drug abuse sent her into a tragic tailspin, died Saturday in a Beverly Hills hotel. She was 48.
Houston was declared dead at 3:55 p.m. in a fourth-floor room of the Beverly Hilton after paramedics spent nearly 30 minutes trying to revive her, authorities said.
The cause of her death was unknown. Houston was in town for music executive Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy party, one of Hollywood's hottest events of the year. In a creepy twist, the swanky shindig went on early Sunday with Houston's body still upstairs.
Davis, in an address to the numb crowd, spoke of Houston's "unspeakable passing."
"Whitney would have wanted the music to go on," Davis added.

Houston appeared belligerent and disheveled Thursday at the rehearsals for Davis' annual gala. Her hair wet and her clothes mismatched, the visibly bloated singer flitted erratically around the ballroom, the Los Angeles Times reported.
But her mother, Cissy Houston and her cousin, Dionne Warwick, reportedly spoke to the troubled singer over the phone Saturday and had no indication anything was wrong.
Her death casts a pall on Sunday's Grammy Awards ceremonies and she will be honored in a musical tribute by Jennifer Hudson and Chaka Kahn, ET reported.
