ATLANTA – The daughter of the late and great singer Whitney Houston was found unresponsive, face down in a bathtub Saturday and taken t a hospital in the north Atlanta suburbs. Police said Bobbi Kristina Brown was found by her husband, Nick Gordon, and a friend, who called 911 while her husband performed CPR on Brown.
They did not believe she was breathing nor did they believe she had a pulse, according to Officer Lisa Holland, a spokeswoman for the Roswell Police Department.
When police arrived, they gave Brown additional first aid care until she was taken alive to North Fulton Hospital, who did not return repeated requests for a comment regarding Brown’s condition.
“Right now she’s still alive at the hospital,” Holland said.
Detectives were at the home Saturday afternoon investigating the incident. Police said they responded to a call at the home on Jan. 23 reporting a fight, Holland said. When officers arrived, they found no one at the residence.
Brown, 21, is the only child of Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown. Whitney Houston, who by all accounts had a particularly close relationship with her daughter, was found dead in a hotel bathtub on Feb. 11, 2012, in Beverly Hills, California. The 48-year-old Houston had struggled for years with cocaine, marijuana and pills, and her behavior had become erratic.
Authorities examining Houston’s death found a dozen prescription drug bottles in the hotel suite. They concluded that Houston accidentally drowned. Heart disease and cocaine use were listed as contributing factors in Houston’s death.
Over her career, Houston sold more than 50 million records in the United States alone, and made classics out of songs like “Saving All My Love For You,” “I Will Always Love You,” “The Greatest Love of All” and “I’m Every Woman.”
She took six Grammys, to begin with, and they represent a small number of her many awards throughout her career.
Houston left her entire estate to her daughter.
