Whitney Houston, the iconic American singer, whose death shocked the world on Sunday, have been found in the bathtub of the hotel room with prescription drugs nearby, celebrity website TMZ reported.

There were no illegal drugs in the room, but a few bottles of pills, the website said, citing sources from the hotel and cops.

Whitney Houston was said to have been found by one of her entourage in the bath and when she showed no signs of life they called the emergency services.

Paramedics arriving on the scene at the Beverly Hilton Hotel tried to resuscitate her for 20 minutes but it did not work and she was pronounced dead at 3.55pm.

TMZ sources said there were no obvious signs of foul play, but the Beverley Hills police were carrying out a full investigation.

Houston was due to appear at the LA gala of music's biggest occasion – the Grammy Awards – later tonight and had also been at rehearsals for the show, coaching singers Brandy and Monica.

It is believed she had been due to perform at the annual pre-Grammy party of her long-time mentor, record producer Clive Davis, at the Beverly Hilton, but was found hours before it began.
