The report also listed the following "preliminary meds" as ones Bobie Jean regularly took: propranolol (anti-anxiety medication), omeprazole (indigestion, heartburn, and acid reflux), clindamycin (antibiotic), and quetiapine (used for treating mental health conditions such as schizophrenia).

Ahead of Christmas, Jane Carter, Bobbie Jean's mother shared the sad news of her passing. "I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean; and I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time," she told TMZ.
