Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, is still in the hospital after being found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub at her home. The incident bears haunting similarities to how Whitney Houston died, leading to an outpouring of concern regarding Bobbi Kristina’s well-being. According to reports, Bobbi Kristina Brown is on a ventilator and is confined to an intensive care unit.
A source for the family said that Bobbi Kristina was placed in a medically-induced coma. However, the source claims that Bobbi Kristina opened her eyes a few times on Monday. Doctors, on the other hand, told family members not to read too much into it. The source also added that Bobbi Kristina had some seizures on the same day.

TMZ reports that Bobbi Kristina’s condition is really serious and that her brain function has “significantly diminished”. This finding is the result of tests made on Brown in the hospital. Whitney Houston’s estranged husband, Bobby Brown, is reportedly at his daughter’s bedside the whole time.
Much has been said regarding the similarities between what happened to Bobbi Kristina as well as Whitney Houston’s death. Both happened in February just before the Grammy’s, and both women had a history with drug abuse. And while cocaine was a contributing factor in Whitney Houston’s death, police released a statement saying that no drugs were found in Bobbi Kristina’s home.
