Bobbi Kristina Brown’s Death: Bobby Brown Pays Tribute to His Daughter
Bobby Brown has paid tribute to his daughter Bobbi Kristina, describing her as “an angel”.
“Krissy was and is an angel,” Bobby Brown said in a statement.
“I am completely 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 Brown died on July 26 at the age of 22. She had been in a coma since being found face down and unresponsive in a bath at her Atlanta home on January 31.
Initial tests have found no significant injuries and no obvious underlying cause of death, according to the medical examiner.
Bobbi Kristina Brown was the only child of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston.
Whitney Houston herself was found dead in a hotel bath in Los Angeles in 2012.
Bobbi Kristina Brown was found by her partner, Nick Gordon, in the bathroom of their home in Atlanta.
Nick Gordon’s mother, Michelle Gordon, said in a statement on July 27 that Bobbi Kristina Brown’s death had devastated her son and the rest of their family.
“Nick loved and cared for Krissi deeply, and he has suffered greatly each and every day they’ve been apart,” she said.
“Nick and our family are in mourning, and we ask that you respect our privacy. Our thoughts and prayers are with both the Houstons and the Browns during this difficult time.”
A police report described Bobbi Kristina Brown’s death as a “drowning” although it is unclear what led to it.
Bruising was found on the front of her body at the time. Authorities later said Whitney Houston’s daughter had sustained injuries in a car crash several days earlier, adding they were not the result of foul play.
Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office said the time that had elapsed since the incident that led to Bobbi Kristina Brown’s death would “complicate” its effort to reconstruct events.
It said the initial portion of the post-mortem had been completed and there were no signs of “an obvious underlying cause of death”, no significant injuries and no previously unknown medical conditions.
The cause of death would not be announced until all tests have been conducted, it added, saying that could take “several weeks”.
A spokeswoman for Bobbi Kristina Brown’s family said she died on Sunday, July 26, surrounded by her family and was “finally at peace in the arms of God”.
