voice as she was for the troubles that
plagued her personal life, has died. She was
48.
Her publicist, Kristen Foster, confirmed the
singer's death Saturday only hours before
Houston was due to perform at music
mogul Clive Davis's annual pre- Grammy party
at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
"I can confirm that Whitney Houston was
pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. at the Beverly
Hilton Hotel. We received a call at 3:43 p.m.
from hotel security and Beverly Hills fire and
police responded minutes later," Beverly Hills
Police Lieutenant Mark Rosen tells PEOPLE.
"Someone in her entourage found her
unresponsive in her room ... It's unclear who
notified hotel staff because she has quite an
entourage here at the hotel. We attempted
to resuscitate her, to no avail."
As to whether there was any evidence of
drugs or foul play, Rosen responded: "At this
time, there's no obvious evidence of foul
play or cause of death."
Earlier this week, the six-time Grammy
winner, whose record sales in the United
States alone totaled 55 million, was spotted
having a night out on the town in L.A. at
"Kelly Price & Friends Unplugged: For The
Love Of R&B Grammy Party" at Tru
Hollywood.
