Bobby Brown's son Bobby Brown Jr. died of an overdose of alcohol, cocaine, and fentany
According to a Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner report obtained by Us Weekly, Bobby Jr. died from the combined effects of alcohol, cocaine, and fentanyl.
These chemicals exerting their effects simultaneously produced a dysfunction of the systems of the body which resulted in death,” read the report, which classified Bobby Jr.’s November 2020 death as “accidental.”
Members of the Los Angeles Police Department said in the report that Bobby Jr. had “a medical history of alcohol abuse” and was “pronounced dead at the scene.” The police officers also detailed several witness statements, including one from Bobby Brown Jr.’s girlfriend, Anna Reed, who said he had “snorted” half a Percocet tablet and three lines of cocaine before being found unresponsive in a two-story townhouse.
The 28-year-old son of Brown and Kim Ward had been pursuing a musical career, the outlet reported.
When news of his son’s death broke, Brown released a statement, obtained by People magazine, asking for prayers for his family.
“Losing my son at this point in our lives has devastated my family. There are no words to explain the pain,” the elder Brown wrote.
The family also stated that Brown Jr. had been experiencing flu-like symptoms at the time of his death but had not tested positive for the coronavirus.
Shortly after his child's passing, Bobby and his family issued a statement in which they said they were “devastated."
And a day later, Bobby broke his silence and admitted there are “no words to explain the pain” they are going through.
He said in a statement: “Please keep my family in your prayers at this time. Losing my son at this point in our lives has devastated my family. There are no words to explain the pain.”
His lawyer added: “Bobby Brown Jr. was not feeling well a couple of days before his death with flu-like symptoms. This is a tragic loss, and we will be letting the authorities conduct their investigation of his death.”
The tragic loss came after Bobby Jr.'s half-sister Bobbi was found unresponsive in a bathtub in 2015 - similar scenes to that of her late mother Whitney Houston, who died from accidental drowning in a bath in 2012, aged 48.
Bobbi spent six months in a coma, but she passed away in July 2015.
Her cause of death was declared as drowning and "mixed drug intoxication," the Fulton County Medical Examiner confirmed.
According to a toxicology report, she had a cocaine-related substance and alcohol in her system.
The medical examiner’s office said in the statement at the time: "The underlying cause of death is the condition which starts the downhill course of events leading to death and in this case is the immersion associated with drug intoxication."
Bobbi was buried two days after her death, next to her mother at Fairview Cemetery in New Jersey.
