The cause of death
http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/stop-the-presses/pop-vocal-legend-whitney-houston-found-dead-034610653.html
While the cause of death has not yet been revealed, one can only wonder whether it was drug-related.

Would the cause of death be correct? I think it's better to say the cause of Houston's death.

It's a matter of style.
If you prefer to mention the name of the person involved several times, it's your decision.
Even though the title of the article is "Pop Vocal Legend Whitney Houston Found Dead", and it is quite clear that the death being written about is Houston's, it's your choice if you wish to drill it into your reader's brain.
I have a question for you. Would it
