Houston has been cited as an inspiration to countless young artists. Among them, Lady Gaga, who said at the 2011 Grammys that, while writing her hit "Born This Way," she envisioned Houston singing it.
One day after the announcement of her sudden death, the autopsy of Whitney Houston has been completed.
However, the results will be deferred pending a toxicology report, TMZ reports.
Officially, a coroner’s spokesperson said the results are on a security hold.
