The 21-year-old daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina Brown, is in a medically-induced coma after being found unresponsive in her Georgia home on Saturday, Jan. 31.
She was found by her partner, Nick Gordon, facedown in the bathtub, according to police reports.
She was revived by CPR and rushed to North Fulton Hospital, then later moved to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for their world-class neurological department: She still remains on life support as of Feb. 5, according to People magazine.
The incident occurred just weeks before the third anniversary of Whitney Houston’s death, who died on Feb. 11, 2012 from accidental drowning, while a toxicology report found the singer had cocaine, marijuana, Xanax, Benadryl and other medication in her system, reported Gleaner.
On Jan. 26, Bobbi Kristina tweeted about missing her mother, writing: “miss you mommy ..:’) SO much.. loving you more every sec.”
Reports earlier this week suggested Brown was depressed leading up to Saturday and was not only missing her mother, but had a bad argument with Gordon.
CNN’s Nick Valencia reported that police were called to Bobbi Kristina’s home on Jan. 23 for a reported fight, but no one was home when they arrived on the scene.
Initially, Valencia reported that they did not see any signs of drug abuse in her home, but law enforcement sources have confirmed drugs were later found and haven’t specified whether they contributed to Brown’s condition.
An inside source from People Magazine also claims that in recent months, Bobbi Kristina had denied any sort of drug use.
According to the source, Bobbi Kristina said, “I know how my mother died, and I’ve learned from her mistakes,’” the source recalls. “She seemed very adamant.”
Things appeared normal for Bobbi Kristina before her hospitalization.
Late on Friday night (Jan. 30), Bobbi Kristina posted a picture of herself with a male friend, writing, “YAYYYY :) finally my famBAM!!!”
Furthermore, Bobbi Kristina’s relationship with her father has been strained lately.
“I can tell you that Bobbi Kristina and Bobby haven’t been talking lately,” claims the inside source from People, “Ever since Whitney died, they’ve been on again, off again. Sometimes they talk, but then they’ll go for months and months without saying a word to each other.”
Bobbi Kristina’s father came out with a statement and said, “Please allow for my family to deal with this matter and give my daughter the love and support she needs at this time. Privacy is requested in this matter.”
An unnamed family member reportedly disclosed to People magazine that a doctor told the family nothing more could be done for her and that she won’t be able to survive, so family members are preparing to say goodbye to her.
A second family member told People the realization of Bobbi Kristina’s imminent death is dawning on relatives, who are still praying for her survival.
According to TMZ, doctors told Mr. Brown that it’s time to withdraw life support.
Family sources say the decision is now in Brown’s hands, but were told he’s refusing to make the painful choice today, and instead wants to wait until after the weekend.
