On February 11, 2012, American singer and actress Whitney Houston died of an accidental drowning in Beverly Hills, California, at age 48. Houston was found unconscious by her security guard Ray Watson and her personal assistant Mary Jones at the Beverly Hilton, submerged in the bathtub, under circumstances not dissimilar to that of Irish singer Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries, who died in a London hotel, also by drowning in the bathtub. Paramedics treated Houston at the scene around 3:30 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (UTC–8) and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but she was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m.
