Bobbi Kristina Brown Placed on Ventilator: Drug Overdose Is Suspected

Yesterday, Jan. 31, we told you that Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only child of the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, was found face down in a bathtub full of water, unresponsive. Now, just 24 hours later, Brown is on a ventilator and in a drug-induced coma with family and friends by her side. Investigators are trying to piece together what exactly happened to Brown before she lost consciousness and, while her family denies it, a drug overdose is reportedly suspected.

According to a report by Entertainment Tonight, Brown was transported to North Fulton Hospital where she remains with her father and husband Nick Gordon, who are holding vigil. While we are not sure what caused Brown to lose consciousness, we do know that this has been an incredibly difficult time for her. Houston's biopic aired on Lifetime just a few weeks ago, and it reportedly dredged up a lot of painful emotions. Plus, the third anniversary of her mother's death is just a few days away, making this time of year an instant struggle for the 21-year-old.

While some family have insisted that this was not a suicide attempt and that Brown was off the drugs that she once took, the way she was found was no coincidence. Houston was found dead in a bathtub of a drug overdose, and supposedly the scene yesterday was frighteningly similar. She was reportedly put into a coma to keep her unconscious and still. Drowning victims have serious damage to their lungs, so a drug-induced coma is a common form of treatment.

There is no word yet on Brown's prognosis. It will depend on how long she actually was unresponsive for. If Gordon found her quickly enough, then she might pull through.
