Whitney Houston’s daughter has been put in a medically induced coma to prevent brain swelling after she was found unresponsive in her home over the weekend. Bobbi Kristina Brown, 21. was found in her home’s bathtub on Saturday. Kim Burrell, a gospel singer and family friend, told Access Hollywood about the coma and said that Brown’s eyes had moved a bit, but her family wasn’t sure if it was a reflex or a conscious choice.
Brown is the daughter of Whitney Houston, who herself died in a hotel bathtub in 2012, and the R&B singer Bobby Brown. Police and medical officials have offered no update on Brown’s condition.
