Two days after the sudden death of pop star Whitney Houston, fans are still visiting the Beverly Hilton Hotel where she was found dead Saturday.
 
Sir Paul McCartney was one of those who visited the makeshift memorial for Houston, which was filled with flowers and candles.

Meanwhile, Reuters reported that Beverly Hills Police said Houston's body had been found underwater in the bathtub but declined to speculate on the cause of her death at age 48.
"Ms. Houston was apparently discovered in the bathtub by a member of her personal staff," who called hotel security, Beverly Hills Police Lieutenant Mark Rosen said. She was pulled from the bathtub, but when paramedics arrived "she was unconscious and unresponsive," he said.

Houston's body was en route from Los Angeles to her New Jersey home on Monday ahead of funeral services there. Family members were said to be also flying to New Jersey for a funeral and memorial, possibly on Friday in her hometown of Newark. A spokeswoman for Houston said plans for services were not yet complete.

Authorities said that there were no indications of foul play and no obvious signs of trauma on Houston's body but that it could be weeks before the coroner's office completes toxicology tests to establish the cause of death. The 48-year-old singer had struggled for years with cocaine, marijuana and pills, and her behavior had become erratic.

"As of right now, it's not a criminal investigation," Rosen said, refusing to release further details. "We have concluded our portion of the investigation at the hotel."

Los Angeles coroner's assistant chief Ed Winter said there were bottles of prescription medicine in the room. He would not give details except to say: "There weren't a lot of prescription bottles. You probably have just as many prescription bottles in your medicine cabinet."

The coroner's office released the body to the family late Monday morning. The two, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak for the family, said Houston's family raised the possibility of a wake Thursday and a funeral Friday at Newark's Prudential Center, an arena that can seat about 18,000. - With Reuters
