Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of Whitney Houston, 'fighting for her life' | |
(4 months later) | |
Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of singer Bobby Brown and his late wife, Whitney Houston, is fighting for her life and is surrounded by immediate family, the Houston family said in a statement on Monday. | |
Brown, 21, was rushed to a hospital in Roswell, Georgia, on Saturday morning after her husband and a friend found her in the tub and her husband performed CPR. | |
“We are asking you to honor our request for privacy during this difficult time,” the statement read. “Thank you for your prayers, well wishes, and we greatly appreciate your continued support.” | |
A police report released on Monday said officers responded to the home in reference to a drowning. The narrative of the incident offered no information about the young woman’s condition or the circumstances leading up to her being found. | |
Officer Lisa Holland, spokeswoman for the Roswell police department, said a search warrant and recording of the 911 call in the case would not be made public until police finish their investigation. | |
“The Roswell police department will not be providing any further information at this time,” the spokeswoman said in an email. | |
Houston, a multiple Grammy award winner and actor who battled substance abuse, drowned in a bathtub in Beverly Hills, California, on 11 February 2012. Authorities said cocaine use and heart disease contributed to her death at age 48. | |
Citing an unnamed source described as close to Bobbi Kristina Brown’s family, CNN reported that she was in a medically induced coma and breathing with the help of a ventilator. | |
Her brain function will not be known until doctors reduce the sedatives she is receiving, the source told CNN, calling the situation “a waiting game”. | |
Tara Landy, a spokeswoman for North Fulton hospital, declined to comment on Monday on Brown’s condition. | |
Bobby Brown asked for privacy on Sunday as he tended to his daughter. | |
“Please allow for my family to deal with this matter and give my daughter the love and support she needs at this time,” he said in a statement issued by his lawyer Christopher Brown. | |
Brown’s agent declined to comment further on Monday. | |
Bobby Brown is a Grammy award winner who started his career as frontman for the R&B group New Edition. Houston’s dozens of hit songs include How Will I Know and I Will Always Love You. |
