Bobbi Kristina Brown’s death has been attributed to immersion in water and drug intoxication, the autopsy reveals. It’s tragically similar to the cause of her mother Whitney Houston’s death.
In 2012 Whitney Houston was found unresponsive in a bathtub, which sadly is just how her daughter was discovered in January 2015. Houston’s death was ruled an accidental drowning, while heart disease and drug use also contributed, the L.A. Coroner’s Office ruled at the time.
A judge recently ruled to unseal Bobbi Kristina's final autopsy report. She was found unresponsive in a bathtub Jan. 31 2015. She was hospitalized for months. Although rumors periodically cropped up suggesting she was showing signs of improvement she never regained consciousness.
The family in June 2015 announced the decision to move her to hospice care after months of being hospitalized, saying she was “in God’s hands.”
“Despite the great medical care at numerous facilities, Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition has continued to deteriorate,” her aunt and legally appointed co-guardian Pat Houston said in a statement then. “We thank everyone for their support and prayers. She is in God’s hands now.”
She died at 22 July 26, 2015. Despite the show of unity among many family members, her funeral in Alpharetta became the site of a public family feud.
Bobbi Kristina was buried Aug. 3 next to her mother Whitney Houston's grave in New Jersey. It seemed she might never rest in peace, though.
Her court-appointed representative sued Nick, alleging physical violence and financial impropriety.
The suit was filed prior to Bobbi Kristina’s death and amended afterward to include damning allegations. Nick’s legal team lashed out swiftly and filed a motion to dismiss.
“The recent lawsuit against Nick is slanderous and meritless,” a statement on his behalf said. “Nick has been heartbroken and destroyed over the loss of his love and it’s shameful that such baseless allegations have been presented publicly. Nick has engaged civil counsel and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously and expose it for what it is: a fictitious assault against the person who loved Krissy most.”
No one has been charged in connection with her death although a woman who worked at the hospice where she died was arrested and faces charges in numerous Georgia counties.
North Carolina authorities last month arrested Taiwo Bolatito Sobamowo, 32, who worked at Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth at the time Bobbi Kristina was a patient there, acting on warrants from the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.
In June, prior to Bobbi Kristina’s death, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said his office would review the investigation stemming from the medical emergency that sent her to the hospital.
No charges have been filed.
