United States — It was reported yesterday that Whitney Houston(48) and her daughter,  Bobbi Kristina,  had a major fight on Thursday night which led to physical violence.  

The two were at a Hollywood club when they started to argue,  according to sources this accounts for the blood on Whitney's leg.  It is said that the teenagers stormed out of the club after shouting that she will not stay at the Beverly Hotel with her mother,  she left towards a friends home.  

Another report stated that Bobbi fell asleep in the bath at her hotel room on Friday,  just a day before the death of Houston in the bath at the hotel.  According to the friends of Bobbi they had to call hotel security to unlock her hotel room as to help her out of the bath.  

Bobbi has been taken to hospital twice since the discovery of her mothers body on Saturday,  it is said that she had a complete meltdown.  A source told the TMZ website: “She went back for the same thing – stress and anxiety.” She was later released by doctors. 

Bobby Brown,  singer and father of Bobbi,  flew to Los Angeles to be with her.  He had a 14-year marriage to Houston.  

According to the investigators searching the hotel suite,  Houston bought prescription drugs from the same Beverly Hills pharmacy that supplied Michael Jackson.  

Although the Los Angeles coroner said it was too early to know for sure how the singer came to die in the bath of her hotel suite, attention was focusing on whether she might have died not from drowning but a lethal combination of prescription drugs and alcohol. 

Establishing the cause of death could be held up for up to two months as toxicology tests are carried out.

But there were unconfirmed reports that too little water was found in her lungs for her to have drowned.  

Among the pills in Houston’s suite were the antidepressant Xanax, the painkiller Ibuprofen, Midol, for menstrual cramps, and Amoxicillin, which she was taking for a sore throat.  

 One theory being considered by investigators is that she had a heart attack caused by an adverse reaction to her medicine. 

Los Angeles assistant chief coroner Ed Winter officially confirmed reports that the star, who had a long history of drug and alcohol abuse, was found under the water in the bath not long before she was due to sing at a music industry party.  He said prescription pills had been found, but added that there was nothing “out of the ordinary” about her medications, adding that he had more in his own medicine cabinet.

United States — The well-known performing artist,  producer,  actress and model,  Whitney Houston,  died on 11 February. 

The 48 year old Whitney Elizabeth Houston was born on 9 August 1963.  In 2009, the Guinness World Records cited her as the most-awarded female act of all time. Her awards include two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, and 22 American Music Awards, among a total of 415 career awards as of 2010. Houston was also one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million albums, singles and videos worldwide. Inspired by prominent soul singers in her family, including her mother Cissy Houston, cousins Dionne Warwick and Dee Dee Warwick, and her godmother Aretha Franklin, Houston began singing with her New Jersey church's junior gospel choir at age 11. After she began performing alongside her mother in night clubs in the New York City area, she was discovered by Arista Records label head Clive Davis. Houston released seven studio albums and three movie soundtrack albums, all of which have diamond, multi-platinum, platinum or gold certification.

Houston is the only artist to chart seven consecutive No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hits ("Saving All My Love for You", "How Will I Know", "Greatest Love of All", "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", "Didn't We Almost Have It All", "So Emotional" and "Where Do Broken Hearts Go"). She is the second artist behind Elton John and the only female artist to have two number-one Billboard 200 Album awards (formerly "Top Pop Album") on the Billboard magazine year-end charts. Houston's 1985 debut album Whitney Houston became the best-selling debut album by a female act at the time of its release. The album was named Rolling Stone's best album of 1986, and was ranked at number 254 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Her second studio album Whitney (1987) became the first album by a female artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Houston's crossover appeal on the popular music charts as well as her prominence on MTV, starting with her video for "How Will I Know", influenced several African-American female artists to follow in her footsteps.

Houston's first acting role was as the star of the feature film The Bodyguard (1992). The film's original soundtrack won the 1994 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Its lead single "I Will Always Love You", became the best-selling single by a female artist in music history. With the album, Houston became the first act (solo or group, male or female) to sell more than a million copies of an album within a single week period. The album makes her the only female act in the top 10 list of the best-selling albums of all time, at number four. Houston continued to star in movies and contribute to their soundtracks, including the films Waiting to Exhale (1995) and The Preacher's Wife (1996). The Preacher's Wife soundtrack became the best-selling gospel album in history. Three years after the release of her fourth studio album My Love Is Your Love (1998), she renewed her recording contract with Arista Records. She released her fifth studio album Just Whitney in 2002, and the Christmas-themed One Wish: The Holiday Album in 2003. In 2009, Houston released her seventh studio album, I Look to You.  

The cause of Houston's death is still unknown,  although the autopsy is complete one must wait for the toxicology reports which could take 4 to 6 weeks,  TMZ reported that she had been drinking before and that perhaps she sedated herself heavely and fell asleep in the bathtub. 

But it is still to early to draw to any conclusions.
