Bobby Brown's Son Found Dead In Their Los Angeles Home

Bobby Brown’s son, Bobby Jr., was found dead inside his Los Angeles home on Wednesday. His death came five years after the death of his half-sister Bobbi Kristina and eight years after his stepmother Whitney Houston drowned to death in her bathtub.

Police said they found Bobby Jr.’s body after responding to a medical emergency at Bobby Brown’s home at around 1:50 p.m. on Wednesday. The cause of death remains unknown but officers believe there was no foul play involved.

Brown has not commented on Bobby Jr.’s death. His mother, Kim Ward, with whom Brown had a tumultuous 11-year relationship with, tweeted on Thursday, “The heavens gained an angel but I lost my soulmate.”

Brown’s relationship with Ward allegedly overlapped with his relationship with Houston. Ward gave birth to Bobby Jr. less than a year before Houston gave birth to her daughter with Brown, Bobbi Kristina, in 1993. Bobbi Kristina was their only child together.

In 2006, Ward said in an interview that Houston never liked Bobby Jr. because of how close together their children with Brown were born. “She has a problem with little Bobby,” she said. “There’ll be times she’ll call me, she’ll be like, ‘Oh, well, can LaPrincia come down to spend time with Krissy (Bobbi Kristina) while we go to such and such?’ Hello?” said Ward.

In 2015, Bobbi Kristina was also found unconscious in her bathtub. She died six months later in a hospice due to the massive brain damage caused by her submergence in the water. She was 22 at the time. Her adopted brother and controversial boyfriend before her death Nick Gordon, died last January.

Houston also died at the Beverly Hilton Hotel three years before Bobbi Kristina’s death. She was found drowned in a bathtub after taking cocaine and Xanax. Her marriage to Bobby Brown was on the rocks at the time of her death.

In 2007, Brown was behind bars for 30 days for failing to pay $20,000 to Ward for their two children. A radio station paid his debt. Three years prior, he was also sentenced to jail in Massachusetts due to his failure to pay child support.
