1. POLICE SAY HOUSTON FOUND UNDERWATER

The Beverly Hills Police Department says Whitney Houston was found underwater and unconscious in the bathtub of her hotel room on Saturday. There were prescription drugs in the room, but officials say it's too early to say if they played a part in her death. Late Monday, Houston's body arrived in New Jersey, her home state. A memorial for the music superstar is expected to be held later this week. [Los Angeles Times]
