Bobbi Kristina is understood to have got into a 'furious screamingargument' with authorities who refused to let her into the hotel room to see the body of her dead mother. A source told People the 18-year-old was screaming: 'What's wrong with her? What's wrong with her?'
The singer/reality TV star and Whitney Houston dated between 2007 and 2009 but it was believed they had recently picked up their romance after being spotted at an LA restaurant.
Ray-J, 17 years younger than Miss Houston, is the youngest brother of the singer Brandy and made a sex tape with Kim Kardashian in 2003 which was reportedly 'leaked' on to the Internet.

The last days of a star: Whitney Houston sweats profusely and appears dishevelled as she leaves the Tru Hollywood nightclub on Thursday night. She partied with a large group of friends before 'clashing' with security guards, right, then being driven away to her hotel, where she died yesterday afternoon

Bottles of Lorazepam, Valium, Xanax and a sleeping medication were found in the hotel room, it has been claimed. The drugs were believed to have acted as sedatives, causing her to fall asleep in the bathtub once they had been mixed with alcohol from the previous evenings.
As police look into the possibility that the star died from an accidental overdose, there are expected to be emotional scenes at the Grammy awards tonight with many of the singers inspired by Miss Houston dedicating their awards to her.

Miss Houston had battled ravaging addictions to crack cocaine over the years but the drug is not believed to have played a part in her death. Police searched the room for illegal substances after discovering the body.
Her family released a formal statement Sunday expressing their grief: 'We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Whitney. This is an unimaginable tragedy and we will miss her terribly. We appreciate the outpouring of love and support from her fans and friends.'
Police also turned away Ray-J from Miss Houston's suite on the fourth floor after he raced from his home following news of her death, reported TMZ.
Miss Houston's body is now at the Los Angeles morgue as her family and the public still await the toxicology and autopsy reports.

Too upset: Bobby Brown, Whitney Houston's ex-husband was in Nashville for a concert with his band New Edition just hours after her death, but he appeared visibly upset before walking off the stage mid-song

That didn't stop her family and other celebrities to pay their respects. Last night around 800 guests attended a pre-Grammys dinner at the hotel where Miss Houston died.  
Outside, fans gathered to mourn the star, leaving floral tributes and lighting candles.
The exact cause of death was not yet known. But on the Thursday evening before her death, the singer went on a wild binge in which she is said to have clashed with security guards. The next evening she 'partied heavily, drank and chatted loudly' with friends at the hotel bar, claims TMZ.

'I am deeply saddened at the passing of my ex-wife, Whitney Houston. At this time, we ask for privacy, especially for my daughter, Bobbi-Kristina. I appreciate all of the condolences that have been directed towards my family and I at this most difficult time'

Members of Whitney's entourage were aware that she would take prescription pills, including the anti-anxiety drug Xanax, before big shows to calm her nerves, TMZ has also claimed.
According to Forbes, the night before Miss Houston's death, a hotel guest on the third floor beneath where the singer's suite of rooms were located, had complained that water was pouring into his bathroom around 2.30am.  
It is not known if the destructive spiral played a part in death of the I Will Always Love You singer who had spent more than a decade battling an addiction to crack cocaine since rising to international stardom in the early 90s.
Police have begun searching the hotel room for any signs of illegal drugs. The circumstances of the death are not thought to be suspicious but the authorities are investigating.
