Brown Jr. released his first single “Say Something” in September. He had previously appeared on the family’s short-lived 2005 Bravo reality show, “Being Bobby Brown,” along with his half-sister, Bobbi Kristina Brown. At that time he was just 13.
Bobby Brown Jr. is survived by both his parents and five siblings, LaPrincia, 30, Landon, 34, Cassius, 11, Bodhi, 5, Hendrix, 4. His unfortunate death comes five years after his step-sister Bobbi Kristina Brown died in 2015. She was the daughter of late singer Whitney Houston, who died in February 2012. Reportedly, Bobbi Brown, who was 22 at that time, succumbed to her injuries six months after she was found unconscious in a bathtub.
It was suspected that Bobbi Brown may have sustained injuries by her ex-boyfriend Nick Gordon during a domestic argument. However, he was never charged anything related to the incident. As per the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office report she died from being immersed in water and drug intoxication that led to pneumonia. However, medical experts were unable to rule whether her death was ‘due to intentional or accidental causes.’
Two days later, Bobbi was buried next to her legendary mother at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey reports Daily Mail.
