Whitney Houston, a pop queen who reigned in the 1980s and early ‘90s, died Saturday. She was 48.
According to ABC, Houston died in a bathtub in her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Hotel security called 911 around 3:43 p.m., but efforts to revive her were unsuccessful. She was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. Authorities said the cause of death has not been determined and an autopsy is likely to be conducted Sunday or Monday. However, the results will take weeks to release.
Houston’s peak was during the ‘80s when she recorded hits like “How Will I Know” and “Saving All of My Love for You.” She was one of the best-selling artists of the ‘80s and ‘90s, winning multiple Grammys, including Album of the Year.
A long struggle with drugs and a rocky relationship with her husband Bobby Brown sent her career and life into a downward spiral during the mid-’90s.
She attempted to make a comeback in 2009, but rumors saying she was still using drugs held her back.
Before her death, Houston had finished acting in a remake of a 1976 film called Sparkle that will be coming out in August. She plays the mother of a singer played by Jordin Sparks.
