    Investigators worked Sunday to piece together what killed Whitney Houston as the music industry’s biggest names prepared for a Grammy Awards show that will be undoubtedly feel as much like a memorial as a celebration.
    Houston’s body arrived at a Los Angeles morgue early Sunday, hours after the 48-year-old had been found dead in a hotel room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where she was preparing for a pre-Grammy gala. Officials did not say when an autopsy would occur, but any cause of death determination will likely be delayed while they await toxicology results.
    Meanwhile, paramedics say they took Houston’s daughter to a Los Angeles hospital Sunday morning for unspecified medical reasons. The Beverly Hills Fire Department says Bobbi Kristina Brown was taken from the Beverly Hills Hilton around 10:30 a.m. Sunday. An email message sent to a representative of her father, singer Bobby Brown, was not immediately returned.
    Sunday’s Grammys were to feature a musical tribute to Houston by Jennifer Hudson, and the show is likely to feature remembrances of Houston from fellow musicians on the red carpet and during the live telecast.

    Her daughter taken to hospital poor girl

    I'm surprised Clive Davis still held his annual Grammy party at the same hotel she died in while her body was still in the hotel

    National Enquirer apparently printed a picture of her body in the casket at what was supposed to be some sort of service/wake thing for close friends and family. Pretty disrespectful stuff. They don't know who the culprit is yet. Terrible thing to do really.

    Whitney Houston died from drowning in a hotel bathtub, but coroner’s officials said Thursday that heart disease and chronic cocaine use were contributing factors to the singer’s death.
    The release of autopsy findings Thursday ends weeks of speculation about what killed the Grammy-winning singer on Feb. 11 on the eve of the Grammy Awards.
    Houston was found submerged in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and her death has been ruled as accidental. Several bottles of prescription medications were found in her hotel room, but coroner’s officials said they weren’t in excessive quantities.
    Beverly Hills police said in a statement there was no evidence of wrongdoing in connection with Houston’s death.
    Coroner’s spokesman Craig Harvey says cocaine and its metabolites were found in Houston’s system, and it was listed as a contributing factor in her death. He says the results indicated Houston was a chronic cocaine user..........................

    Not a surprise to anyone that drugs were involved
