Whitney Houston, 48, has been found dead. In the 1980s, she ruled the pop scene and transcended the art, moving into film and proving her merit there. Her marriage to Bobby Brown was well publicized as well as her drug abuse.

Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey both have stated that they were heavily influenced by Houston. Her career and talent was overshadowed by her drug usage and strange behavior. She made many “Dead Pool” lists, where people wager on which celebrity would die first, and this news, although shocking, is not totally unexpected.

No news is coming out directly, but the speculation is that drugs are involved…especially factoring in the past and the young age of Houston. More details are to come…
