Whitney Houston Found Dead in Beverly Hills

On this day in music, February 11, 2012, Whitney Houston was found dead at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, on the eve of the 54th annual Grammy Awards.

Houston, 48 years old, is discovered by her assistant face down in the tub. When paramedics can’t revive her, she is declared dead at 3:55 p.m. PST. (The Clive Davis party goes on anyway, with Davis claiming it’s in tribute to the singer.) The death is ruled an accidental drowning, with heart disease and cocaine use contributing factors. The coroner’s report reveals that Houston had been using cocaine and was taking various prescription drugs.

Houston’s death comes as a shock, and at the Grammy Awards the next night, host LL Cool J opens the ceremony with a prayer for Houston. Later in the show, Jennifer Hudson sings “I Will Always Love You,” a song Houston performed at the 1993 ceremony, in tribute. Houston is Grammy royalty, with six wins in her lifetime.

At the time of her death, Houston is working on a comeback, with a starring role in the film Sparkle alongside Jordin Sparks. The film is released later in 2012.

Houston was one of the world’s best-selling artists from the middle 1980s to the late 1990s. Her voice and image were ravaged by drug use, erratic behavior and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown.

Two days before her death, she performed at a pre-Grammy party with singer Kelly Price. Singer Kenny Lattimore hosted the event, and said Houston sang the gospel classic “Jesus Loves Me” with Price, her voice registering softly, not with the same power it had at its height.
