The accidental drowning was caused by longtime cocaine abuse and heart disease. She and Brown shared a daughter, Bobbi Kristina, who suffered the same fate as her mother.

Kristina was found to have accidentally drowned in a bathtub with toxic levels of alcohol and cocaine in her system. She passed away in July 2015 after spending several months on life support.

Kristina was buried next to her mother in a New Jersey cemetery. The Browns blamed her ex-fiancé, Nick Gordon, for the tragedy, but he was never charged in the case. He, too, died at 30 due to drug abuse.
