Brown Jr.'s death followed years of loss for his father. On Feb. 11, 2012, singer Whitney Houston was found submerged in a bathtub in a Beverly Hills, California, hotel. Brown and Houston married in 1992 and separated in 2007.
Houston's death was ruled accidental by a coroner. Heart disease and cocaine were named as contributing factors. She was 48.
Just three years later, Brown and Houston's only child, Bobbi Kristina Brown, died at the age of 22. She was discovered face down in a bathtub in January 2015 at her Roswell, Georgia home.
The 22-year-old was later placed into a medically-induced coma. She remained in a coma for six months before passing away in July 2015.
A year after she was found unresponsive in her home, a cause of death was revealed. A statement from the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office read, "The cause of Bobbi Kristina Brown's death as determined by the Fulton County Medical Examiner is: Lobar pneumonia. Due to: Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, delayed effects. Due to: Immersion of face in water complicating mixed drug intoxication." Bobbi Kristina was buried alongside her mother.
In the years that followed Bobbi Kristina's death, Brown fought to hold his daughter's boyfriend, Nick Gordon, accountable. Gordon was found liable in a civil case for her death.
In January 2020, Gordon was found unresponsive in an Orlando hotel room. An autopsy and toxicology report found that he died as a result of heroin toxicity.
