Boozy cocktail of ‘drugs, drink and drowning’ killed Bobbi Kristina Brown

Whitney Huston’s daughter drowned in the bath after drinking, smoking marijuana and taking prescription drugs, it was revealed on Friday. The announcement confirms that Bobbi Kristina Brown’s death echoes that of her mother, who also died in the bath after years of cocaine abuse in 2012. The medical examiner's report concluded marijuana and alcohol were involved in the death, along with medications used for sedation or to treat anxiety. The details were finally released in a statement after a judge ordered the report be published, seven months after the 22-year-old’s death.

The underlying cause of death is the condition which starts the downhill course of events leading to death and in this case is the immersion associated with drug intoxication.

Medical examiner’s statement

Bobbi Kristina, the daughter of rapper Bobby Brown, was found lifeless in her bathtub at her home in Atlanta in January last year. She spent six months in a coma in a hospice but died in July. The Fulton County Medical Examiner determined the cause of death after reviewing documents including medical records and investigative files. In a statement, his office said: "Death was clearly not due to natural causes but the medical examiner has not been able to determine whether death was due to intentional or accidental causes and has therefore classified the manner of death as undetermined.“

Her vibrant spirit will live on forever. It devastates me to think the world won’t be able to experience the amazing person she was.
