Bobbi Kristina Brown Dies at 22, After six months of coma



Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of late music legend Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown, died on July 26, surrounded by her family, at Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, Georgia. She was 22.
She has been in an induced coma since she was found unconscious in her bath in January in circumstances eerily echoing 48-year-old superstar mum’s death three years ago
Bobbi Kristina's death came nearly six months after she was found 
unresponsive in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia, home on Saturday, Jan. 31. She never fully regained consciousness and was being kept on life support following her near-drowning. In March she was moved to a long-term care facility in the Atlanta area. 
"She is finally at peace in the arms of God," the Houston family said in statement to ET. "We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months."
In June, she was transferred to hospice after her condition "continued to deteriorate," Pat Houston said in a statement on behalf of the Houston family at the time. 


"We thank everyone for their support and prayers," Pat, who is married to Whitney Houston's brother Gary, said. "She is in God's hands now." 

A Brown family source told people Bobbi Kristina was "skin and bones" just prior to moving to hospice. 

"She has been losing weight, she's been losing hair. They were taking good care of her, but she has no muscle tone at all. There has been some worry that her organs are shutting
Bobbi who  became  better known at age 10 when she was featured on her father's reality TV series, "Being Bobby Brown."
Police have said that they investigated the case as a medical emergency and that no foul play is suspected. No criminal charges have ever been brought.
But late last month, Brown's conservator sued Nick Gordon — who has been described as Brown's boyfriend and husband, an attachment her family denies — for $10 million, accusing him of having physically abused Brown and having improperly withdrawn $11,000 from her bank account after she was in a coma.
Whitney Houston brought Gordon into her household as an orphan at the age of 12, raising him with her daughter after divorcing Bobby Brown in 2007. Gordon wore a large tattoo of Houston's face on his arm and called the singer "mom," but she never adopted him or included him in her will.
