Updated: Sunday, Feb. 1, 2015, 10:15am ET: Bobbi Kristina Brown was placed in a medically induced coma at North Fulton Hospital because of swelling on the brain yesterday, according to TMZ.com.
“I can’t comment on any condition because of the HIPAA laws, but I can tell you she is still alive,” says Roswell P.D. spokesperson Lisa Holland.
While authorities said it was unclear what caused Bobbi Kristina to lose consciousness in the tub, “Entertainment Tonight” reported she suffered “an apparent accidental drug overdose,” although there were no drugs found in the home by police. The news outlet is also saying that she’s been placed on a ventilator.
TMZ also reports that Brown’s father, singer Bobby Brown, arrived at the hospital last night with Tyler Perry, who was flying by private jet from Los Angeles to Atlanta on business, and offered Brown a ride. The two arrived at the hospital during the evening and both were reportedly at Bobbi Kristina’s bedside.
Because the incident happened in a bathtub, many are calling it eerily similar to the way in which her mother, singing legend Whitney Houston, died. Further, the third anniversary of Houston’s death is less than two weeks away.
