BOBBI KRISTINA, NOW RESTING IN PEACE, DIES AT 22

Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of late music legend Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown, died on July 26, surrounded by her family, at Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, Georgia. She was 22.

"She is finally at peace in the arms of God," the Houston family said in statement to ET. "We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months."

On Jan. 31, Bobbi Kristina was found unresponsive in her bathtub, and was then taken to North Fulton Hospital in Roswell, Georgia, where she was put on a ventilator to assist her breathing. She was later placed in a medically induced coma at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital.

Nearly two months later, she was moved to a rehabilitation center, where she remained until June 24, when she was moved to the hospice center.

"Despite the great medical care at numerous facilities, Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition has continued to deteriorate," Pat Houston told ET in a statement that day. "We thank everyone for their support and prayers. She is in God's hands now."

Born March 4, 1993, in Livingston, New Jersey, Bobbi Kristina was thrust into the spotlight at an early age, but the love her mother had for her was obvious early on.

"She brings me a lot of joy," Houston told ET
back in 1993. "She brings both Bobby and I a lot of joy. It's a different thing when you become a mother. It changes your whole perspective on life. You really don't live for you anymore. You're living for your children."

Between her father's string of hit songs and her mother being one of the best-selling artists of all time, as well as her parents' tumultuous relationship, as a child Bobbi Kristina became a target of tabloid scrutiny.

Then 10 years old, she was featured on the controversial 2005 Bravo reality series Being Bobby Brown, which famously depicted the family's darker days.

After years of controversy surrounding her parents, including accusations of domestic violence and drug abuse, Bobbi Kristina's parents eventually separated in 2006. When the divorce was finalized in 2007, Houston was awarded custody of her daughter.

On Feb. 11, 2012, Houston was found dead in a bathtub in her Beverly Hilton Hotel suite.

Bobbi Kristina had been very close to her mother, often appearing with her at movie premieres, and even accompanying her on tour. She would frequently speak to press about her mother's love and support, and Houston's death reportedly hit her very hard.

Bobbi Kristina was in the lobby of the Beverly Hilton when she was informed of her mother's death. According to reports at the time, Bobbi Kristina suffered a hysterical breakdown and had to be sedated and hospitalized. She was soon discharged after being treated for severe stress and anxiety.

Only 18 years old when her mother died, Bobbi Kristina became the sole inheritor of Houston's estate. The inheritance was estimated at nearly $115 million.

"I still feel her everywhere," Brown said on the 2012 reality show The Houstons: On Our Own. "She's still around me and that's what keeps me comfortable, is knowing that my best friend, my everything, is still with me."




Bobbi Kristina's bond with her late mother was reminiscent of the close relationship Houston shared with her own mom, Cissy Houston. "That's a little bit of what my mother and I had," Bobbi Kristina acknowledged on The Houstons. "That's the bond that we share and we did share. We still share that bond no matter what -- even after death."


Bobbi Kristina even had deep aspirations of following in her mother's footsteps. On Jan. 29, Bobbi Kristina promised a bright future ahead, tweeting, "Let's start this career up&&moving OUT to TO YOU ALLLL quick shall we !?!???!"

Following her mother's untimely death, Bobbi Kristina sought comfort in Nick Gordon, a childhood friend who grew up with her under the same roof.

The two began a romantic relationship, becoming engaged in October 2012, just eight months after Houston's passing. The couple claimed to have tied the knot on Jan. 9, 2014, though family representatives later said the marriage was not official. Shortly after Bobbi Kristina's hospitalization, Gordon appeared on Dr. Phil and subsequently checked into rehab after the emotional interview and left after nearly seven weeks on April 28. Following Bobbi Kristina's transition into hospice care, her court-appointed conservator filed a $10 million lawsuit against Gordon.

The discovery of Bobbi Kristina in the bathtub came just days before the third anniversary of her mother's passing. A source close to the situation told ET that Bobbi Kristina suffered from an apparent drug overdose, the circumstances of which were eerily similar to those of her mother's passing. Houston's death was ruled an accident as a result of drowning, but the medical examiner also stated that cocaine and drug-related heart disease contributed to her demise.

 I believe Bobbi Kristina never healed from the tragic loss of her mother. She longed for that love and
connection she and her mother shared, but never found that love again. Only a motherless child knows the heart wrenching agony and pain that feels like. I hope Bobbi Kristina now knows she meant more to the world than she could have ever imagined, and I am so sorry she never got to experience the dreams and aspirations she set out to accomplish. May God preserve her soul.

BOBBI KRISTINA, DAUGHTER OF WHITNEY HOUSTON AND BOBBY BROWN FOUND UNRESPONSIVE IN BATHTUB

21 year old, Bobbi Kristina was found unresponsive, face down in her bathtub in her home, by husband Nick Gordon Saturday morning, an eerie similarity in the manner in which her Mom, the late Whitney Houston, was found when she died almost 3 years ago to date (February 11 2012) .

Since being found, Bobbi Kristina Brown has been in intensive care in a Georgia hospital, breathing with the aid of a ventilator, and in a medically induced coma due to swelling of the brain, as relatives gather by her side. Latest reports are that she could possibly be brain dead, and doctors have warned the family to prepare for the worst.

A family source told PEOPLE the 21-year-old daughter of Whitney Houston has very little brain activity and her loved ones are "praying, hoping for the best."

This just weeks after the controversial Lifetime biopic, of Whitney Houston, produced by Angela Bassett was released. Bobbi Kristina was distraught about not being cast as her late mother, and had a war of words with Angela Bassett via Twitter.

Sources state the cause is possibly a drug overdose. Some are left wondering if this was intentional or accidental. A search warrant was issued and executed, but no drugs were found in her home; this is said to be standard if a toxicology screening shows drugs in ones system in cases such as these.

Bobbi Kristina has lived a sadly dark life, especially since the passing of her mother. Fueled with rumored drug and alcohol addiction, and a shocking marriage to long time friend, many thought to be her adopted brother, Nick Gordon.

Neurologist Eli Zimmerman of Massachusetts General Hospital says her prognosis will depend on "how much oxygen her brain was getting" before Brown was found not breathing, face down in the tub.

"Even minutes [without air] can be grim," Zimmerman says of Brown's chances at a full recovery.

Patients whose brains have been deprived of oxygen are typically sedated and "often kept on medications that slow down brain activity to be able to keep down the amount of energy the brain requires," Zimmerman explains. "In some patients, the body temperature is dropped slightly to reduce energy requirements even more, though this is generally only done for 24 hours."

Cooling pads and blankets are often used to lower body temperature, a procedure typically enacted for cardiac arrest patients. Zimmerman adds that cardiac arrest is the most common cause for a young woman like Brown with no prior known medical conditions to be in an unresponsive state.

"Once things have stabilized, the medications that are keeping the patient sedated are decreased to be able to get an accurate assessment of how the brain is working," says Zimmerman. Positive signs include pupils dilating, eyes blinking and any type of physical reaction.

For those who survive severe oxygen deprivation, "hospitalization is usually pretty long," Zimmerman says, "as is rehabilitation, with recovery often measured in months." In the long term, patients can experience cognitive difficulties, changes in behavior and seizures.

For now, Zimmerman has some advice for Brown's friends and family.

"I always tell families not to make decisions when they're under stress," he says. "It's okay to have doctors or nurses take care of loved ones for a few days."

Father, R&B star, Bobby Brown is said to be "inconsolable" during this difficult time. The loss of his ex-wife Whitney Houston showed to be extremely disheartening for Brown, and this has to be 10 times worst.

Bobby Brown issued a statement on Sunday, "Privacy is requested in this matter. Please allow for my family to deal with this matter and give my daughter the love and support she needs at this time."

Please keep Bobbi Kristina and her family in your prayers.
