Whitney Houston Has Died at 48

Whitney Houston (The Bodyguard), the iconic American singer whose battles with drugs, alcohol and ex-husband Bobby Brown marred her star power, has died. She was 48.
Police got a 911 call from hotel security at 3:43 p.m, P.I.O. Lieutenant Mark Rosen said. Efforts to revive her were unsuccessful and she was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, were among the people that were immediately notified of her death.

Houston was scheduled to perform Saturday evening at a pre-Grammy Awards party for producer and mentor Clive Davis. The party went on despite the star's death, and the presence of numerous police vehicles, including a crime lab bus, outside the hotel.
