Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of late singing
legend Whitney Houston, was fighting for her life
Monday after she was pulled unconscious from a
bathtub over the weekend, her family said.
The 21-year-old’s husband and a friend found her
non-responsive in the bathtub of her home near
Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday in an incident with
eerie echoes of her mother’s drowning in a Los
Angeles tub in 2012.
“Bobbi Kristina is fighting for her life and is
surrounded by immediate family,” the Houston
family said in a statement provided to US media.
There has been no official word of Brown’s condition,
but several US media outlets including CNN and the
TMZ.com entertainment news site have cited family
sources as saying she was in a medically induced
coma.
“We are asking you to honor our request for privacy
during this difficult time,” the family statement
added.
“Thank you for your prayers, well wishes, and we
greatly appreciate your continued support.”
Whitney Houston died in February 2012 when she
was found in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in
Los Angeles on the eve of the music industry’s annual
Grammy Awards show.
Coroners concluded she died by accidental drowning,
with cocaine use and heart disease as contributing
factors.
