LOS ANGELES
The daughter of
late singer Whitney Houston was pulled unconscious from her bathtub
Saturday at her Georgia home, in an eerie echo of her mother's tragic
death three years ago.
Bobbi Kristina Brown, 21, was
found by her husband and a friend at her home in Roswell, roughly 22
miles (35 kilometers) north of Atlanta, Roswell Police Department
spokeswoman Lisa Holland said.
"She is still alive and
breathing and other than that I do not know her condition at this time,"
Holland told a news conference. "Investigators are on the scene at the
hospital and the house."
The TMZ.com entertainment news
website said Brown's husband Nick Gordon and a friend had performed CPR
at the scene after making the discovery.
Emergency services were called to assist before Brown was whisked to North Fulton Hospital for treatment.
TMZ
reported that sources close to the family said Bobbi Kristina had been
placed in a medically induced coma to address swelling on the brain.
Soul
diva Whitney Houston died in February 2012 when she was found in a
bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on the eve of the
music industry's annual Grammy Awards show.
Coroners concluded she died by accidental drowning, with cocaine use and heart disease as contributing factors.
Various
bottles were found in the singer's hotel room — in all some 12
medications prescribed by five different doctors, including anxiety
treatment Xanax and the potent corticosteroid Prednisone, the report
said.
The singer of hits such as "I Will Always Love
You" sold more than 170 million records during a nearly three-decade
career, but also fought a long battle against substance abuse.
The
singer left all of her assets to Bobbi Kristina — born from her
troubled marriage to singer Bobby Brown — while excluding her ex-husband
