Four days after 21-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown drowned in a bathtub, her family will allow doctors to remove her from life support, People.com reports.

Whitney Houston’s only daughter was found unresponsive and face down in a bathtub at her Roswell home on Saturday.

Bobbi’s father, singer Bobby Brown, requested her transfer to Emory Hospital in Atlanta after doctors at North Fulton Hospital gave him the grim prognosis that she was brain dead. Bobby reportedly wanted a second opinion from neurologists at Emory.

It is being said that Bobbi Kristina, never accepted the death of her mother Whitney Houston, who ironically drowned in a bathtub on Feb. 11, 2012 after overdosing on prescription meds.

On Wednesday, four days after the 21-year-old was found unresponsive in her home, a doctor told her family that nothing more could be done. “Everyone is coming to the hospital to say goodbye,” says a family member.

Whitney Houston’s Daughter, Bobbi Kristina, Found ‘Unresponsive’ in Bathtub

Whitney Houston’s only child, Bobbi Kristina Brown, 21, was found unresponsive in a bathtub at her Roswell, GA., home earlier today, ABC News reports.

Brown was found by her husband, Nick Gordon, and another man in the bathroom of her home in the Ellard subdivision Saturday morning. Gordon immediately started CPR until paramedics arrived on the scene and started emergency resuscitation measures.

ABC reports Brown was transported, still unresponsive, to North Fulton hospital where she is on a mechanical ventilator (breathing machine) in intensive care.

‘Unresponsive’ in medical terms means a person is not alert and does not respond to verbal or tactile (touch) stimulation, or a person whose vital signs and brain activity are not within normal range to sustain life.

A hospital spokesperson told ABC News that no details on Brown’s condition could be released.

Bobbi’s mother, Whitney, was found drowned in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on February 11, 2012. The coroner ruled Whitney’s death an accidental drowning. Drugs were found in her system.

Bobbi’s father is R&B singer Bobby Brown.

What is going on with Whitney Houston’s daughter?

The recently married Bobbi Kristina looks to be spiraling down the same ill-fated road her mother Whitney traveled. And with a boat load of money, a rebellious attitude and no solid foundation to stand on, who’s going to save her? Where are these people in her life that should care enough about her to intervene? To ensure history does not repeat itself.

I really didn’t want to talk about this however, it’s obvious Whitney Houston’s only child by R&B singer Bobby Brown is strung out on drugs. I believe Bobbi Christina and her mom got high together which is why she was taught to keep her mother’s secret, later known to the world. This is why Bobbi Kristina doesn’t have a strong relationship with her only living grandmother, Cissy Houston.

The adversary is real people and without spiritual knowledge and intervention, he will take out an entire family. At this point this child is beyond prayer, her appearance alone is a call for action!

A copy of a police report obtained by gossip website TMZ.com reveals former Kris Kross rapper Chris Kelly may have overdosed on a combination of cocaine and heroine.

The police report states that Kelly, 34, may have ingested a cocaine and heroine substance known as a “speedball,” the night before he died.

From US Weekly.com:

According to the report, Kelly’s mother, Donna Kelly Pratt, was the one who called 911 and told police about her son’s drug use. She allegedly told investigators that Kelly had an “extensive history of drug use,” and she had taken him home to recover before he passed out.

Kelly’s mother said in a statement:

“It is with deep sadness that we announce that our beloved Chris Kelly has passed away on May 1. To millions of fans worldwide, he was the trendsetting, backwards pants-wearing one-half of Kris Kross who loved making music. But to us, he was just Chris — the kind, generous and fun-loving life of the party. Though he was only with us a short time, we feel blessed to have been able to share some incredible moments with him. His legacy will live on through his music, and we will forever love him.”

The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office conducted an autopsy on Kelly today to determine the exact cause of death.
