Media reports are at odds over whether Bobbi Kristina Brown, Whitney Houston’s daughter who was found facedown in a bathtub Saturday, has been taken off of life support at an Atlanta hospital.
The Daily Mail quoted a source that said Bobbi Kristina, 21, was taken off life support on Thursday, surrounded by grieving family members, including her father, Bobby Brown.
TMZ, quoting an anonymous source, said doctors did tell Brown there is nothing else they can do and life support can be removed. However, the news site said Brown has elected to wait until after the weekend to make that decision. Thursday marks Brown’s 46th birthday.
People also reported that doctors at Emory University Hospital in Georgia advised the family Wednesday that life support should be removed.
“Everyone is coming to the hospital to say goodbye,” a family friend told the magazine.
Bobbi Kristina was found Saturday morning facedown in a bathtub in a scene eerily reminiscent of how her mother died in February 2012. Houston was also found facedown in a bathtub, and she was later ruled to have died by cocaine poisoning and drowning.
Since she was found, Bobbi Kristina has been in a medically induced coma. There are conflicting reports over whether police found any drugs in the home she shares with her
partner, Nick Gordon, NBC News reported.
In yet another confusing twist to the story of Bobbi Kristina’s condition,
E! Online reported Thursday that a source insists she "is not brain dead."
Radar Online, a gossip site, revealed purported texts that Bobbi Kristina sent in the days before the incident in which she talked about how much she was still grieving her mother’s death.
Saying she felt “alienated” and “lost” after Houston died, Radar Online claimed that Bobbi Kristina reportedly texted a friend, “She was and is my everything ma’am. And if you don’t think I don’t know [what] an ounce of HURT anguish and pain is, you are preaching to the wrong women [sic], because I’ve lves [sic] in the public eye since I was born.”
The texts have not been authenticated.
