Whitney Houston har g\u00e5tt bort, endast 48 \u00e5r gammal. D\u00f6dsbudet spred sig snabbt via Facebook och Twitter, eftersom svenska medier hade g\u00e5tt hem f\u00f6r kv\u00e4llen. Uppgiften om att hon \u00e4r d\u00f6d fanns blixtsnabbt i Wikipedia:<\/p>\n

Whitney Elizabeth Houston, f\u00f6dd 9 augusti 1963 d\u00f6d 11 februari 2012 i Newark, var en platinas\u00e4ljande, sexfaldigt Grammy Award-vinnande R&B-s\u00e5ngerska och musikproducent.

Medier rapporterar att hon hittades i badkaret i sitt rum p\u00e5 lyxhotellet Beverly Hilton p\u00e5 l\u00f6rdagsnatten, svensk tid. Enligt TMZ kan hon ha drunknat, men d\u00f6dsorsaken \u00e4r fortfarande oklar.<\/p>\n

Sajten TMZ skriver<\/a>:
\n Whitney Houston died this afternoon … a rep for the singer told the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

According to our sources, Houston died at the Beverly Hilton hotel. A police crime lab vehicle was seen outside the hotel just moments ago.<\/em><\/p>\n

Washington Post skriver<\/a>:
\nWhitney Houston, who reigned as pop music\u2019s queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, erratic behavior and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown, has died. She was 48.<\/p>\n

Publicist Kristen Foster said Saturday that the singer had died, but the cause and the location of her death were unknown.<\/em><\/p>\n

Aftonbladet:<\/a>
\nStj\u00e4rns\u00e5ngerskan Whitney Houston, 48, har avlidit.
\nChockbeskedet kom sent i natt.
\nDet bekr\u00e4ftades av Houstons talesperson Kristen Foster.
\nBeskedet kom vid 02 i natt.
\nDen amerikanska v\u00e4rldsstj\u00e4rnan Whitney Houston har avlidit, 48 \u00e5r gammal.
\nPublicisten Kristen Foster bekr\u00e4ftade uppgiften, men d\u00f6dsorsaken \u00e4r \u00e4n s\u00e5 l\u00e4nge h\u00f6ljd i dunkel.<\/em><\/p>\n

Whitney Houston har ju haft sv\u00e5ra drogproblem under senare \u00e5ren. Det \u00e4r sorgligt hur en s\u00e5 duktig och hyllad stj\u00e4rna kan g\u00e5 under. <\/p>\n

\nDebutalbumet sl\u00e4pptes 1985 och inneh\u00f6ll flera hits s\u00e5 som exempelvis ”How Will I Know och ”Greatest Love of All”.
\nHennes version av s\u00e5ngen ”I Will Always Love You” som var med p\u00e5 soundtracket till filmen Bodyguard, som Houston ocks\u00e5 spelade huvudrolllen i, \u00e4r den hittills b\u00e4st s\u00e4ljande musiksingeln av en kvinnlig artist.
\nHouston kallades under sin storhetstid ofta ”popdrottningen” eller bara ”r\u00f6sten”. Hon kammade ocks\u00e5 hem fler musikpriser \u00e4n n\u00e5gon annan kvinnlig artist, enligt Guinness rekordbok.<\/em><\/p>\n
