Bobbi Kristina Brown (March 4, 1993 - July 26, 2015) was an American reality television and media personality, singer, and actress/ She was the daughter of singers Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, her parents' fame kept Bobbi Kristina in the public eye, including her appearences on the reality show "Being Bobby Brown". Brown's childhood was characterized by the media as difficult due to her parent's drug problems, the presence of the paparazzi, and domestic violence issues. She was brought into the spotlight at the age of two in 1994,when her mother accepted an American Music Award while holding her onstage. Brown was 14 when her parents divorced and her mother Whitney, was awarded custody, though her father, Bobby, still has visitation rights.
Brown's mother died in a hotel bathtub in Febuary 2012, from what was later ruled as an accidental drowning with heart disease and cocaine use as contributing factors. Brown was described as "inconsolable" and a few days later was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angels due to what a family friend described as Brown being "overwhelmed". The month after Whitney Houston's death, in March 2012, Brown said that she felt her mother's spirit, epressing her intent to carry on her legacy by doing the "singing thing" along with starting a career as an actor and dancer.
In accordance with her mother's will, Brown was the benificiary of Houston's entire estate includuing clothing, jewelry, cars, personal effects, and furniture. The will also provided for Brown to receive trust fund payments in installments until she reached the age 30, after which time she was to receive the remainder of Houston's $115 million estate.
In October 2012, Brown caused controversy within both her parents' families when she announced her engagement to Nick Gordon, a man she previosly consisidered her "big brother" before their romantic involvement. He had come to live in the Houston household when he was 12 years old. Brown's grandmother, Cissy Houston, had called the relationship "incestuous" when they were initially dating, however, Brown said the couple received her blessing prior to their engagement. In early 2014, Brown and Gordon announced that they had married on January 9 of that year. When the couple announced they were married, Bobb Brown's lawyer released a statement disputing the report saying that Bobbi Kristina Brown "is not and has never been married to Nick Gordon".
On January 31, 2015, Gordon and a friend found Brown face down in a bathtub in her Georgia home. Gordon began CPR until emergency medical services arrived. According to a police spokeswoman, Brown was alive and breathing after being transported to North Fulton Hospital in Roswell, Georgia. She further stated they found no evidence to indicate the incident was caused by dugs or alcohol. Doctors placed Brown in a medically induced coma after determining her brain function was "significally diminished", and her family was told any meaningful recovery would be "a mirscle"
On Febuary 2, Brown was moved to Emory University Hospital, where she remained in a coma and on a medical ventilator. Her family sai Brown had briefly opened her eyes, but a medical expert commented, "Blinking her eyes doesn't mean she's out of the woods".
Despite media reports stating Brown was brain dead and had been taken off life support, her family denied the claims on Febuary 5, after having asked for privacy earlier in the week. In late Febuary she was briefly t
