Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina dead at 22

AS medical examiners investigate how Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina died in a bathtub, it seems she has a history of mixing partying with bathing.

Police sources have told TMZ, that on the night before Whitney died, Bobbi Kristina was partying with her at the Beverly Hilton bar and got drunk.

Bobbi Kristina then went up to her room, where she ran a bath and fell asleep in the tub while drunk.

Sources also told TMZ, that Jose Baez, the lawyer for Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend Nick Gordon, will try to use this information to defend Gordon, saying he had no involvement with her death.

Instead, given Bobbi Kristina’s history with alcohol, drugs and parties, it would be logical to conclude that she ran a bath, fell asleep and then died.

The news comes as examiners performing an autopsy on Bobbi Kristina Brown said their initial findings turned up no obvious cause of death.

Experts have also said the months that have passed since Brown was found facedown in a bathtub are working against authorities now tasked with solving how she died.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office said in a statement today that it will likely be several weeks before it can rule on a manner and cause of death for the 22-year-old daughter of Whitney Houston.

The agency said its initial autopsy turned up “no significant injuries” or “previously unknown medical conditions.” It said the next step is ordering lab tests and issuing subpoenas for documents — most likely Brown’s hospital records.

Any drugs she might have taken passed from her bloodstream long ago. Physical injuries would have been healing even as Brown remained largely unresponsive. If police overlooked any physical evidence at Brown’s home after she was hospitalised Jan. 31, recovering it nearly six months later may be impossible

The Roswell Police Department in suburban Atlanta is still investigating the events that led to Brown’s death, authorities say.

A police report described what happened in the townhome Brown shared with Nick Gordon as a drowning. However, no one has been charged in the case.

Gordon has said Bobbi Kristina, whose father was R & B singer Bobby Brown, wasn’t breathing when she was found facedown in the tub — and that she lacked a pulse before first responders arrived.

The scene was similar to how Houston was found dead in 2012 in what authorities later ruled an accidental drowning.
