The legendary singer and producer's body was found in a bathtub in fifth-floor suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The cause of her death is unclear. The shock and grief of her fans followed instantly. They gathered outside the Beverly Hilton holding a candlelit vigil for the singer. Clive Davis considered canceling his party, according to MTV, but changed his mind after most people in attendance said Whitney would have wanted the party to go on. “By now, sadly, we've all learned of the unspeakable of our beloved Whitney's passing,” Davis said, visibly shaken, according to MTV. “I don't have to mask my emotions, not in front of this room filled with so many dear friends. I am personally devastated. Whitney was so full of life. … She was a beautiful person with talent beyond compare. She graced the stage with a regal presence … and her family asked that the show go on.”
