KINGSTON, Jamaica – Reports have surfaced that the family of Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of late singer and entertainer Whitney Houston, has been told to prepare for the worst.
According to Yahoo news, “a source close to the family told ET that her father Bobby Brown, husband Nick Gordon and others have been advised to prepare for the worst and that the longer the 21-year-old remains in the coma, the more likely it will be that she will not regain consciousness”.
It was reported that they are praying for her recovery but have also started to discuss how they would handle funeral arrangements.
“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,” Bobby Brown said in a statement.
Bobbi Kristina Brown was found by her husband, Nick Gordon, and a friend, and given CPR, said police spokeswoman Lisa Holland, a spokeswoman for the Roswell Police Department. When police arrived, they gave Brown additional care until she was taken alive to North Fulton Hospital.
She was placed in a medically induced coma Saturday.
Nobody knows what caused Brown’s unresponsiveness, officer Holland said, but it is being considered as a medical incident at this time. She said investigators had found nothing to indicate it was drug- or alcohol-related.
The police spokeswoman noted one oddity in the case: “Her mother died in the very same manner.”
It was three years ago February 11 that Brown’s mother, renowned singer Whitney Houston, was found dead — in a bathtub — in The Beverly Hilton, hours before she was to attend a pre-Grammy bash there.
An autopsy later revealed that she’d drowned face down in “extremely hot water”.
