In a hotel room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where she was preparing for a pre-Grammy gala, investigators worked Sunday to piece together what killed Whitney Houston, whose body arrived at a Los Angeles morgue early Sunday, hours after the 48-year-old had been found dead Saturday afternoon. Officials did not say when an autopsy would occur, but any cause of death determination will likely be delayed while they await toxicology results. Throughout Middle Georgia, people expressed their shock and sadness Sunday about music superstar Houston’s death through social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
Died on Saturday in a Beverly Hills hotel room, Whitney Houston, whose soaring voice lifted her to the top of the pop music world but whose personal decline was fueled by decades of drug use. She was 48. Houston joins the ranks of other popular singers and performers who died an early death after struggles with alcohol or drugs.
