Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition unknown after being found unresponsive in a bathtub

Bobbi Kristina Brown is in hospital in an unknown condition after being found unresponsive in a bathtub.

Medical privacy laws mean information is restricted, but unconfirmed reports said Whitney Houston’s daughter was in a medically induced coma to reduce swelling on the brain.

Bobbi Kristina Brown, 21, was found on January 31 by her husband Nick Gordon and a friend.

The incident happened less than two weeks before the third anniversary of Whitney Houston’s death.

Whitney Houston was found dead in February 2012, aged 48, in a bath at Beverly Hill Hotel in Los Angeles.

A post-mortem examination later concluded she died of accidental drowning due to the effects of cocaine use and heart disease.

Bobbi Kristina Brown was found in the bathtub on Saturday morning, Roswell police spokeswoman Lisa Holland said later in the day.

Lisa Holland said that Bobbi Kristina Brown was now at North Fulton Hospital in Roswell, Georgia, and that she was “still alive and breathing”.

At a later news conference, Lisa Holland said she could not comment on Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition because of medical privacy laws.

The police spokeswoman also noted the incident’s similarity with the circumstances of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s mother’s death.

Bobbi’s cousin Jerod Brown told Sky News: “She’s pretty good right now, she’s around family.

“We’re just praying for a speedy recovery, that’s it… I’m pretty sure she’ll be getting out of there very soon.”

Jerod Brown refused to comment on reports that his cousin was in a coma.

Bobbi Kristina Brown was born after the singer’s tumultuous 1992 marriage to hip-hop singer Bobby Brown.
