Two people were found dead last night at the Beverly Hilton -- where the Daytime Emmy Awards are scheduled to take place later today -- in what cops believe to be a murder-suicide. 

Police responded to a shooting at the hotel at around 11:00 PM Friday and found a man and a woman dead from gunshot wounds. The victims were described as "elderly."

The bodies were picked up from the hotel early Saturday by the coroner's office.

The Beverly Hilton is also where Whitney Houston was found dead back on February 11.
