Whitney Houston possibly drowned in the bathtub, early reports have indicated.
The singer passed away on Saturday (February 11) in her room at the Beverly Hilton hotel, where she was preparing for Clive Davis's pre-Grammy gala in Los Angeles.
No illegal drugs have been found at the scene, but prescription drugs were discovered in the room, TMZ reports.
Houston's body has since been removed from the bathtub and taken for an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Beverly Hills police officers, who are said to be still searching the room, found various pill bottles but no evidence that the star had been drinking alcohol.
Tributes have poured in since the news of Houston's death, with Mariah Carey saying she's "heartbroken and in tears".
