Bobby Brown
'broken' after
tragic death
of daughter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA, Ga. -
R&B singer Bobby Brown
said Monday that his
daughter. Bobbi Kristina
Brown, was "an angel" and
that the family must find a
way to honor her memory.
Bobbi Kristina. the
daughter of Brown and
singer Whitney Houston,
died Sunday in hospice
care, six months after she
was found face down in a
bathtub in her suburban
Atlanta town-home.
Authorities are investigat
ing her death.
"Krissy was and is an
angel," her father said in a
statement. "I am complete
ly numb at this time. My
family must find a way to
live with her in spirit and
honor her memory. Our
loss is unimaginable."
Bobbi' Kristina had
been hospitalized for
months in Atlanta, eventu
ally being placed in hos
pice care, after being found
in a manner grimly similar
to the way her mother died
three years earlier.
A police report earlier
this year described the inci
dent as a drowning. In a
statement Monday, the
Fulton County Medical
Examiner's Office said an
autopsy would be needed
to evaluate what led to the
death of Bobbi Kristina,
but the
time
that has
elapsed
since
t h e
autopsy
will
compli
cate the
investi
gation.
"Interpretation of
autopsy findings and other
information will also be
challenging," the medical
examiner's office said.
"However, an autopsy
could be helpful to address
questions which may arise
about the cause of her unre
sponsiveness and eventual
death."
"She is finally at peace
in the arms of God. We
want to again thank every
one for their tremendous
amount of love and support
during these last few
months," Kristen Foster, a
Houston family representa
tive said Sunday.
Nick Gordon, who
shared her town-home with
her, said, at the time it
seemed Bobbi Kristina
wasn't breathing and lacked
a pulse before help arrived.
"The Roswell Police
Department continues its
investigation into the cir
cumstances preceding and
surrounding the time of the
original incident leading to
her death," the medical
examiner said.
Born and raised in the
shadow of fame and litiga
tion, shattered by the loss
of her mother, Bobbi
Kristina was overwhelmed
by the achievements and
demons of others before
she could begin to figure
out who she was.
Bobbi Kristina, the sole
heir of her mother's estate
did have dreams. She iden
tified herself on Twitter as
"Daughter of Queen WH,"
"Entertainer/Actress" with
William Morris & Co., and
"LAST of a dying breed."
She told Oprah Winfrey
shortly after her mother's
death in 2012 that she
wanted to carry on her
mother's legacy by singing,
acting and dancing. But her
career never took off.
She became a social
media sensation, sending
more than 11,000 tweets
and attracting 164,000 fol
lowers.
As the news of her
death spread across social
media, several celebrities
tweeted their condolences.
"Empire" star Taraji P.
Henson tweeted, "Rest in
heaven."
Winfrey tweeted,
"Peace at Last!"
