Whitney died yesterday afternoon at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles, aged 48.

Rocky: The pair had a tumultuous time during their 14 years of marriage
Life-saving attempts were unsuccessful, and she was pronounced dead at 3.55pm. The cause of death is as yet unknown. TMZ also reports that according to hotel staff, the star 'partied heavily' with friends last night, who were all drinking in the bar and making lots of noise. Bobby and Whitney had a notoriously turbulent relationship that was riddled with drug use and marital problems. Whitney admitted that she and Bobby took cocaine and marijuana together through their 14 years of marriage. During this tumultuous time, Bobby was arrested for drugs and alcohol and Whitney entered drug rehabilitation programs twice. They wed in July 1992 and eventually separated in September 2006, before their divorce was finalised in April 2007.

Three years after their split, Whitney described her troubled marriage to Bobby with the poignant words: ‘He was my drug’. The couple have an 18-year-old daughter together, Bobbi Kristina. And despite Bobby and Whitney's rocky relationship, the trio were reunited last week for a slap-up meal together.
Whitney looked happy as she left the Beverly Hills eatery after dinner, and was followed shortly after Bobby and Bobbi Kristina, who held hands as they headed off together. Whitney won custody of Bobbi Kristina following her divorce from the R&B star, with Bobby being allowed visitation rights. However the pair’s last public outing together showed they seemed to have put their toxic past behind them.
