‘She is finally at peace’: Bobbi Kristina Brown dead at 22

Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only daughter of pop legend Whitney Houston and singer Bobby Brown, has died aged 22, her family said. “She is finally at peace in the arms of God,” the Houston family said in statement cited by Entertainment Tonight and other media outlets. “We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months.” Bobbi Kristina was discovered by friend Max Lomas and the man she referred to as her husband, Nick Gordon, on Jan. 31, and was transferred to an Atlanta-area hospital. Though no drugs were found at her home when medics arrived, a criminal investigation was eventually opened; however, no arrests have been made. For weeks, conflicting reports surfaced about Bobbi Kristina’s progress and the severity of her condition, all while she was still in a medically induced coma. However, on Feb. 10 the Brown family felt the need to speak out and address stories that claimed she would be taken off of life support the following day on the third anniversary of her mother’s death. Doctors eventually removed her breathing tube, allowing Brown to be ventilated through a hole in her throat, but she suffered a major setback when her medical team attempted to take her off medications and rouse her from her coma. Bobbi Kristina had violent seizures and had to be placed back on the drugs.

We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months.
