Whitney Houston's Cause of Death: Pop Legend Died of Drowning In Bath Tube

Whitney Houston, the world’s famous diva known as pop music's queens thanks to majestic voice and regal image, was found dead at 3:55 p.m. Saturday, 11 February 2012 in her room on the fourth floor of the Beverly Hills Hilton. While the cause of death remains in unknown, the first official investigation reveals that, “There were no obvious signs of any criminal intent at this time”. Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen also told the reporters that “She has been positively identified by friends and family that were with her at the hotel, and next of kin have already been notified”.


Reportedly, Houston was found dead at the Beverly Hilton hotel yesterday by her hairdresser at 3:55 PM with her face below the water’s surface. Houston’s hairdresser had gone to check on the singer after becoming concerned that she had been in the bathroom for more than an hour. One of Houston's bodyguards pulled her out of the water and attempted CPR until paramedics arrived, but it was already too late for the music legend. Her body was removed from the Beverly Hilton around midnight. The previous day, Houston was spotted heavily partying with friends at the hotel bar and drinking a mixture of alcohol with Xanax. Prescription drugs have been found in Houston's room but no illegal drugs had been seized by police.
