RIP: Whitney Houston, pop superstar known for her hits as much as for her troubles with substance abuse, passed away today at 48.
Details concerning cause of death remain unknown at this time, but Houston is believed to have been found in her Beverly Hilton hotel room by her bodyguard. Paramedics who arrived at the scene found Houston unresponsive. All efforts to resuscitate the singer failed and she was pronounced dead at 3:55 PM local time.
No foul play is suspected at this time; an investigation has been launched. BBC Correspondent Alastair Leithead reports that she may have been under the influence “of substances” at the time of her death.
Houston leaves behind a musical legacy that spans multiple decades. She was the recipient of 415 awards throughout her storied career — the most ever by a female singer — including two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, and 22 American Music Awards.
She also leaves behind a daughter, Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown, whom she had with then-husband Bobby Brown.

Sentenced To Date of the Day: A man charged with domestic violence was ordered by a Broward bond court judge to go on a date with his wife.
According to the official police report, Plantation resident Joseph Bray pushed his wife and put his hands around her neck during an altercation that began when he didn’t wish her a happy birthday.
In lieu of setting a bond or sentencing Bray to jail time, Judge John “Jay” Hurley told the 47-year-old to “go home, pick up his wife, get dressed, take her to Red Lobster.” He also suggested the couple go bowling after and then seek counseling.
Explaining the bizarre sentence, Hurley said he did not feel the domestic violence charge was serious enough to warrant more serious release terms. He was also persuaded to be lenient by Bray’s wife, who said she was not injured nor in danger of becoming injured.
