(Beverly Hills, CA) Singing sensation Whitney Houston was reportedly found unresponsive in her own hotel room, and the worst part about it's that she was found in her tub underwater.

It appears Whitney was taking a hot bath before getting ready to go the pre-Grammy party where she was scheduled to perform.  They only discovered her body when her hairdresser and bodyguard became concern that Whitney had been in the bathroom for over an hour.

When they couldn't wait any longer for her, they began to knock on her door.  No answer.  Her female hairdresser then went inside only to discover Whitney unconscious underwater.

TMZ reports that Whitney was facing up in the tub but was underwater with her legs above the water. As if she had fallen asleep in the tub.

Immediately her bodyguard took her out of the tub and began CPR to no avail.  The paramedics  showed up just as quick, but Whitney did not respond to any resuscitation attempts.  She was pronounced dead at 3:30 PM.

There are reports that Whitney used to take Xanax before her big shows, it is believed that she took it before going into the tub, accidentally drowning herself.  The powerful anxiety medication, taken with alcohol, has a heavy sedative effect.

An autopsy is scheduled today.

It is a tragedy for her family and fans but more for the music industry who lost one of the most iconic voices of all time.  Her angelic voice has been silenced forever.

R.I.P Whitney Houston.
