Lifeless Body Of Singer Whitney Houston Was Found In Hotel Bathtub

India TV News  

Los Angeles, Feb 12: Pop legend and actress Whitney Houston was found dead in the bathtub of her hotel room, a US media report said today citing paramedics who had rushed to save her but found her “lifeless.” On Saturday, paramedics raced to the iconic Beverly Hilton Hotel and found a lifeless Houston inside her hotel room bathtub, ABC News quoted authorities as saying. Another multiplatinum album, “Whitney,” came out in 1987 and included hits like “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” and “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.” The New York Times wrote that Houston “possesses one of her generation's most powerful gospel-trained voices, but she eschews many of the churchier mannerisms of her forerunners. She returned to the big screen in 1995-96 with “Waiting to Exhale” and “The Preacher's Wife.” Both spawned soundtrack albums, and another hit studio album, “My Love Is Your Love,” in 1998, brought her a Grammy for best female R&B vocal for the cut “It's Not Right But It's Okay.” But during these career and personal highs, Houston was using drugs. A concert to promote the album on “Good Morning America” went awry as Houston's voice sounded ragged and off-key.
