LOS ANGELES, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Grammy-winning singer and actress Whitney Houston, one of the most talented performers of her generation who lived a turbulent personal life and admitted drug use, died on Saturday in a Beverly Hills hotel room. She was 48.

A Beverly Hills police officer told reporters they were called to the Beverly Hilton, in Los Angeles, at around 3:20 p.m. PST and that emergency personnel found Houston's body in a fourth-floor room, and she was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m.

"She has been positively identified by friends and family (who) were with her at the hotel, and next of kin have already been notified," Lieutenant Mark Rosen told reporters.

Police said there were no obvious signs of criminal intent at the scene and her death is under investigation.


Photographers try to shoot through the back window of a Los Angeles County coroner's van believed to carry the body of US singer Whitney Houston as it leaves Beverly Hilton Hotel, in Beverly Hills, California.

Los Angeles County coroners removed Houston's body from the hotel after midnight through a backdoor to avoid the crush of media set up to cover her shocking death.

Typically, coroners conduct an autopsy within a day or two, at which point they might release some preliminary information about the death. If drugs or alcohol are involved, however, an official cause of death would not be released until after toxicology tests, which could take six to eight weeks.

Houston was in Los Angeles for the Grammy Awards, the music industry's biggest honors program that will take place on Sunday night. She died hours before she was expected to perform at record producer Clive Davis's annual pre-Grammy party on Saturday, which is held at the Beverly Hilton. Houston, inspired by soul singers in her New Jersey family, including mother Cissy Houston and cousins Dionne Warwick and the late Dee Dee Warwick, as well as her godmother Aretha Franklin, became one of the most celebrated female singers of all time, taking multiple Emmy, Grammy and Billboard Music awards. STELLAR CAREER, PERSONAL TROUBLES

Her popularity soared in the 1980s and 1990s with consecutive No. 1 hits including the smash single "I Will Always Love You," from the soundtrack of the feature film "The Bodyguard," in which she starred.

She also appeared in "Waiting to Exhale (1995) and The Preacher's Wife (1996)."

By the early 1990s, Houston had become the queen of pop music, achieving great critical and commercial acclaim, but her personal life was becoming troubled. In 1992 she married singer Bobby Brown, who had a bad-boy reputation, and during their 14 years together had a tumultuous relationship fueled by drugs.

In 2000, she and Brown were stopped at an airport in Hawaii and security guards discovered marijuana in their luggage. The pair also starred in reality TV series, "Being Bobby Brown," which painted an often unflattering portrait of the pair.

The last 10 years of Houston's life were dominated by drug use, rumors of relapses and trips to rehab. In a 2002 TV interview, she admitted using marijuana, cocaine, alcohol and prescription drugs.

She launched a comeback tour in 2009 and in April 2010 she called media reports she was using drugs again "ridiculous." In May 2011, Houston enrolled in a drug and alcohol rehab program.

Reactions came pouring in from fans and friends in the music industry.

"I am absolutely heartbroken at the news of Whitney's passing," legendary music producer Quincy Jones said in a statement. "... I always regretted not having had the opportunity to work with her. She was a true original and a talent beyond compare. I will miss her terribly."

Neil Portnow, chief executive of the Recording Academy that gives out the Grammys, called her "one of the world's greatest pop singers of all time who leaves behind a robust musical soundtrack spanning the past three decades."

Pop star Rihanna posted on Twitter "No words, just tears," and rapper Nicki Minaj tweeted "Jesus Christ, not Whitney Houston. Greatest of all time."

    Untuk 3 perkataan RIP itu, aku tak rasa sesiapa yang kata sedemikian boleh tau yang si mati akan tenang dan damai lepas mati. Atau tau dia masuk sorga atau nuraka. Itu cuma seperti satu ucapan selamat macam yang kita biasa ucap. Macam have a good day. Salah? Salah ke mendoakan kesejahteraan non muslim? Islam tak benarkan ke?


Or apa yg patut kita kata bila ada non muslim meninggal? Rot in hell?  


Pada aku, aku hanya berpegang yang itu hanya merupakan satu statement. Kalau ko tak setuju aku pun tak dulik. Aku tak kacau pun fahaman kau.

RIP tu bermakna org mendoa kan si mati tu ,rest in peace di alam sana ,ada faham....mcm ju ...
voiletiris Post at 12-2-2012 18:20

Rest in peace atau RIP nih bukan doa kerana ia merupakan ayat kenyataan .... ayat doa lain selalunya bermula dengan May you rest in peace kaa atau May God bless your soul kaa kan .  

Ayat kenyataan seperti "rest in peace" tuh bersesuaian dengan kepercayaan dalam agama kristian , kerana depa percaya sesiapa saja yang menerima Jesus sebagai penyelamat dah cukup untuk membuatkan orang tu selamat dan aman damai sesudah mati tanpa perlu hisab amalan lagi. So pada depa tak ada doa - doa lagi dah untuk orang kristian yang dah mati , depa ucap rest in peace kerana depa picaya asalkan kristian aje pasti aman damai lepaih mati .  

Agama Islam pulak mana ada konsep pasti selamat gitu pulak . Masuk syurga pun dengan rahmat Allah so nak confirm tahu keadaan si mati camna pulak .

Rest in peace Miss Whitney Houston..
