Bobby Brown Jr., the son of R&B singer Bobby Brown, died of an overdose of alcohol, cocaine and the powerful opioid fentanyl, according to a coroner’s report.
The 28-year-old died at his Los Angeles home on November 18, 2020.
Bobby Brown Jr. was found unresponsive in his bedroom by his girlfriend. She called paramedics, who declared him dead. No foul play was suspected.
An autopsy report released on March 22 referred to his death as an accident.
The musician had a history of drug and alcohol use, the report said.
The night before his death, Bobby Brown Jr. had consumed tequila and cocaine, and “snorted” the painkiller Percocet, a witness told police.
The family said the musician was experiencing flu-like symptoms at the time, but had not tested positive for Covid-19.
Bobby Brown Jr. was one of two children from his father’s 11-year relationship with Kim Ward, which ended in 1991.
His death came eight years after his stepmother Whitney Houston accidentally drowned in a bath, and five years after his 22-year-old half-sister Bobbi Kristina died in similar circumstances.
Last November, Bobby Brown said his son’s death had “devastated my family,” adding: “There are no words to explain the pain.”
Bobby Brown Jr.’s brother, Landon, paid tribute by sharing a black-and-white photo of his late sibling on Instagram, alongside the caption: “I love you forever King.”
His girlfriend, Anna Reed, tweeted: “The heavens gained an angel but I lost my soulmate.”
Nick Gordon has been ordered by a Georgia judge to pay $36 million in Bobbi Kristina Brown’s wrongful death case, her estate’s lawyers have said.
Whitney Houston’s daughter was found unresponsive in a bath in her Atlanta home in 2015.
Bobbi Kristina Brown’s family accused Nick Gordon of plying her with a “toxic mixture” before putting her face down in the water.
Nick Gordon has not been criminally charged in connection with her death.
However, he was found liable in September following a default judgment in a civil case because he failed to appear in court.

Nick Gordon did not appear at the civil hearing, nor did he appoint a lawyer, but his legal representatives have previously described the allegations as baseless.
Bobbi Kristina Brown was in a coma for six months before dying in a hospice aged 22 in July 2015 as a result of immersion in water and drug intoxication, according to medical records.
A post-mortem report was unable to determine whether death was due to intentional or accidental causes.
Bobbi Kristina Brown died in similar circumstances to her mother, who also died in a bathtub in 2012 with heart disease and cocaine use listed as contributing factors.
Her estate had been seeking at least $40 million from Nick Gordon in its wrongful death lawsuit against him, which was filed in October 2015.
Nick Gordon was accused of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and transferring money from Bobbi Kristina Brown’s account into his own without authorization.
In a statement after November 17 court order one of the lawyers acting for her family said: “Bobbi suffered such horrific pain and degradation at the hands of Nick Gordon.”
“[He was] the man she loved and trusted. No one should suffer the way she did and the judge sent a strong message in the award of punitive damages that this despicable behaviour is inexcusable and will not be tolerated,” Glenda Hatchett was quoted by Atlanta Alive as saying.
Bobbi Kristina Brown’s father contended his daughter had a major career ahead of her in the entertainment industry before her untimely death.
Bobby Brown said in a statement after yesterday’s ruling that he was pleased with the judgment and called on prosecutors to file criminal charges.
“I do know Mr. Gordon will be unable to slander my daughter’s name in the future or obtain any benefits from the use of Krissy’s name,” NBC News quoted Bobby Brown as saying.
Bobbi Kristina Brown was the only daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown.
Whitney Houston took in Nick Gordon at the age of 12. He lived with the family for years before he and Bobbi Kristina Brown began a romantic relationship.
Nick Gordon has been accused of assaulting his girlfriend Bobbi Kristina Brown and stealing her money, on the same day her family announced she was being moved into hospice care.
Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only child of Whitney Houston, was discovered face down in a bath at her Atlanta home on January31. She has never regained consciousness.
Nick Gordon has now been accused of causing her “substantial bodily harm” in a $10 million civil case.
The legal action was filed by Bobbi Kristina Brown’s court-appointed conservator, Bedelia Hargrove.
Bedelia Hargrove told People magazine in a statement: “I filed this lawsuit to pursue justice on behalf of Bobbi Kristina Brown. No human being, male or female, should endure what Bobbi Kristina endured.”
The legal case accuses Nick Gordon of assault, battery, infliction of emotional distress and maintaining “the fraud that he had married Brown” after she inherited a substantial amount of money.
It claims that Bobbi Kristina Brown, 22, confided to an unnamed person that Nick Gordon “was not the man she thought he was” and made plans to meet them on January 31 to talk about it.
Court papers claim Whitney Houston’s daughter never made it to the meeting and “became embroiled in a loud argument” with Nick Gordon, which ended with her “face down in a bathtub, with her mouth swollen and another tooth knocked out”.
“Even after Brown’s hospitalization, and while she was in a coma, [Nick Gordon] accessed Brown’s bank account and stole in excess of $11,000,” the documents say.
Nick Gordon has yet to comment on the accusations. On June 24, he posted a message about Bobbi Kristina Brown on his Twitter, which read: “We keep praying, she has fought hard this long don’t give up hope.”
He was partly brought up by Whitney Houston, and the couple’s relationship became public after the singer died in 2012.
Police were called to Bobbi Kristina Brown’s home in suburban Atlanta on January 31, in response to a “drowning”.

Despite months of treatment in two Atlanta hospitals and a rehab facility, including being placed in an induced coma, she has never regained consciousness.
A police investigation has been launched, but no findings or charges have been announced.
A statement released by Bobbi Kristina Brown’s aunt Pat Houston on behalf of the family said that “despite the great medical care at numerous facilities, Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition has continued to deteriorate, as of today, she has been moved into hospice care”.
“We thank everyone for their support and prayers. She is in God’s hands now.”
The case holds similarities to Whitney Houston’s death in a hotel bath in February 2012.
According to autopsy results, Whitney Houston died of accidental drowning due to the effects of cocaine use and heart disease.
Whitney Houston left everything in her will to Bobbi Kristina.
Bobbi Kristina Brown is also the daughter of singer Bobby Brown. Her parents divorced when she was 14.
Bobby Brown and Pat Houston have been appointed as Bobbi Kristina Brown’s official co-guardians, according to a statement from their attorneys, ET reported.
“Both Mr. Brown and Ms. Houston are jointly responsible for decisions related to Krissi’s care and medical needs,” the statement reads.
The court also appointed Bedelia Hargrove as Bobbi Kristina Brown’s conservator.
“Ms. Hargrove is responsible for Krissi’s assets, including her likeness, rights and legal claims,” the statement says.
“Both parties are delighted with the Court’s decision and are working harmoniously to ensure Krissi receives the best possible medical care,” the statement adds.

The statement says that “there has been improvement” in Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition.
However, it says that Whitney Houston’s daughter is just beginning her rehabilitation.
The statement ended: “The quality of her life will not be known for years to come.”

Cissy Houston, 81, said: “We’ve moved her to a place for rehabilitation. And you know, still not a great deal of hope. [We’re] still praying.”
She also thanked everyone for their endless support, saying she feels “every bit of it”, and revealed that she has already made peace with the devastating situation.
“I don’t pray like that,” she said.
“I give it to God one time, because He’s able. And I cannot change a thing. I’m asking everybody, just pray to the Lord who we know CAN do something about it.”
Cissy Houston continued: “If He works a miracle, thank God. If it happens the other way, I’m alright.”
Bobbi Kristina Brown was recently moved from Emory University Hospital to a rehabilitation center in Atlanta, but still remains in a coma and on life support.

“As we sit here right now, my son’s life hangs in the balance,” Michelle Gordon told Dr. Phil, Nick by her side, in a snippet of the interview released by the show.
“When Whitney was found, he administered CPR to her and called me as he was standing in front of her saying, <<Mom, why couldn’t I do it? I couldn’t get air into her lungs>>.”
“He won’t let go of the guilt,” Michelle Gordon says.
“My heart is full of angry after the Browns have shut me out,” Nick Gordon tweeted on February 25, referring to his repeated claims that Bobbi Kristina Brown’s family has barred him from visiting his girlfriend in the hospital and he has been doing everything he could to see her.
“They don’t even know her. Sabotage.”

“Happy Birthday baby I wish I was there with you to hold you and be by your side,” Nick Gordon tweeted on March 4.

Leolah Brown wrote to Dr. Phil on Facebook:
Dr. Phil,
With all due respect, Nick Gordon is under investigation for the attempted murder of my niece Bobby Kristina Brown. We have strong evidence of foul play. Until this investigation is completed by law enforcement, I would ask that you or anyone else not provide this individual a platform to spin this situation to his benefit.
If Nick Gordon does not have the courage to speak with my brother Bobby Brown and/or law enforcement about what happened the day my niece’s body was found in a bathtub, he does not deserve to have a platform to speak to anyone of your caliber until this investigation is concluded.
Respectfully,
Leolah Brown
There has been tension between Nick Gordon and Bobbi Kristina Brown’s family for weeks regarding Gordon’s access to Whitney Houston’s daughter and his cooperation in the investigation.
Nick Gordon has expressed his anger on Twitter after not being allowed by Bobby Brown to visit Bobbi Kristina Brown’s bedside.
“My heart is full of angry after the Browns have shut me out,” Nick Gordon tweeted on February 25.
“They don’t even know her. Sabotage.”
He added: “I miss her so much. I seem so weak right now. You all have been so supportive! Thank you for everything.”
Bobby Brown’s attorney recently said “there is no reason for any additional discussion with” Nick Gordon.

While he continues to clash with the Brown family, Nick Gordon also filed a temporary restraining order on February 23 against the Roswell Police Department.
According to documents obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Nick Gordon hoped to prevent authorities from carrying out a search warrant for footage captured on a Nest Labs web-based security camera.
On February 25, however, Nick Gordon had a change of heart.
“Mr. Gordon has since elected to dismiss the claim in an effort to help Roswell PD speed up their investigation,” his lawyer said in a statement to E! News.
“There will be no further comment.”
Bobbi Kristina Brown, 21, has been in a medically induced coma for almost a month.
Whitney Houston’s daughter was first hospitalized on January 31 after being found face down and unconscious in a bathtub at her Georgia home.
Doctors treating Bobbi Kristina Brown at Georgia hospital have been forced to re-induce the coma because she began to have seizures.
They had decided to gradually end her coma in order to have a better idea of the 21-year-old’s status and prognosis. Not long afterwards, however, Bobbi Kristina Brown began to seize, and doctors opted to put her back on the sedatives.
Whitney Houston’s daughter was not removed from life support. She remained on a ventilator and feeding tube.
Bobbi Kristina Brown was placed in a medically induced coma three weeks ago, shortly after being found in the bathtub of her Roswell, Georgia home face down and unresponsive.
Bobbi Kristina Brown was abusing drugs before she was found unresponsive in a bathtub at her Georgia home on January 31, People magazine reported.
Like her doomed mother Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina Brown, 21, was regularly taking heroin, cocaine and Xanax in the months before she was rushed to a Georgia hospital last month, the outlet reported.
Xanax was one of the drugs found in Whitney Houston’s system after she drowned in a bathtub at a Beverly Hills hotel three years ago.
A source told the magazine that Bobbi Kristina Brown, in the weeks before the tragedy at her home in Roswell, Georgia, was “distraught” about the coming third anniversary of her mother’s death.
Bobbi Kristina Brown was also in and out of rehab for her demons – including heavy drinking – since Whitney Houston’s death, the source indicated.
She was hospitalized for depression almost immediately after Whitney Houston passed away.
Toxicology reports on Whitney Houston showed the singer had marijuana, Xanax, the muscle relaxant Flexeril and the OTC medication Benadryl in her system at the time of her death.

Whitney Houston’s daughter will now receive air through a hole in her throat (tracheostomy), indicating she will likely remain in that position for weeks or months rather than of days, CNN reported.

According to new reports, Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition has taken a serious turn for the worse.
Whitney Houston’s daughter, who has been hospitalized since she was discovered unresponsive in her bathtub at her Atlanta home on January 31, is experiencing organ failure and is dying, TMZ reports.
According to family sources, because several of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s organs are shutting down, it does not matter if her father Bobby Brown withdraws life support.
While Bobbi Kristina Brown was said to have experienced an “improvement in brain function” at one point, TMZ reports that her condition has since declined.
Due to his religious views, Bobby Brown has reportedly maintained that he will “do what it takes” to keep his daughter alive, even if that means if she remains on life support with little possibility of recovery. While some family members do not agree with his stance, they will respect his decision, according to the website.
The mysterious circumstances surrounding Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition, including over evidence that she had sustained facial injuries, have led police to open an investigation to determine whether foul play was involved, with the probe centering on her longtime partner Nick Gordon.

The statement also says: “Various members of the family have provided media interviews, however, none of them are approved visitors to see Bobbi Kristina. None of them have firsthand knowledge of Bobbi Kristina’s treatment and the medical staff at Emory University Hospital has not communicated with them.”
It adds: “In [particular], Jerod Brown aka Jerod Carter aka YF Kennedy, continues to [make] statements and appear on television, however, he has not had any communication with Bobby Brown or the Houston family. He must be disregarded. Please do not attend any <<meet and greet>> organized by Jerod Brown as he is unable to provide access to Bobbi Kristina or information on her condition. This is a criminal investigation and we do not need this side show.”
Bobby Brown himself says: “We continue to request privacy in this matter. We thank everyone that supports Bobbi Kristina and God is hearing our prayers.”
According to police records, Bobbi Kristina Brown was involved in a car crash that injured two people days before she was hospitalized, the AP reported.

“However the false reports that continue to appear in print and on the internet are egregious, false and will be dealt with at an appropriate time. In particular, the false reporting of TMZ, The National Enquirer, The Atlanta Journal Constitution and the Daily Mail (UK) citing, police sources, family sources and Bobby Brown himself, will receive my attention. The desire to be <<first>> has clouded the judgment of many reporters as they forgo accuracy.

A candlelight vigil for Bobbi Kristina Brown was held in the city of Riverdale, Georgia, as the 21-year-old daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown clings to life at nearby Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
“Forget that he [Bobby Brown] is a renowned artist. That her mama, the late Whitney, was a renowned artist. These [are] still people. They bleed and hurt like us,” said Riverdale mayor Dr. Evelyn Wynn-Dixon on Monday night.
“Sometime people ask you, or they say, <<I know how you feel>>. Sometime they don’t. Sometime they don’t know what it’s like if your child is on that ventilator. <<What do I do? If I take it off and she could have lived or do I let her stay on it and suffer?>> That’s a hard question for any parent,” the mayor told the large crowd of fans and concerned residents.
Evelyn Wynn-Dixon’s comments seemed to confirm what has been widely reported by the media that Bobbi Kristina Brown is connected to a ventilator, and her family faces a decision whether or not to remove her from life support.
Before the service began, organizers played several of Whitney Houston’s hit songs including I Have Nothing and I’m Every Woman.
Once the gathering got underway, a series of family friends and ministers addressed the crowd with words of encouragement including “we’re here to pick people up” and “continuous prayer is what is needed at this point.”
As the vigil came to a close, legendary R&B singer Tony Terry took the microphone and sang I Look To You, Whitney Houston’s last attempt at a comeback single before her death in 2012.
Several people in the crowd were brought to tears while Tony Terry belted out the stirring track, which is a call for help in a time of crisis.
