WHITNEY HOUSTON’S DAUGHTER RUSHED TO HOSPITAL AFTER STAR’S DEATH
Daughter Bobbi Kristina, 18, hospitalised TWICE since mother’s death Whitney Houston’s bodyguard ‘found her drowned in bath in her hotel room’
Fears grow among Whitney Houston’s family that the singer’s teenage daughter may be suicidal after her mother’s untimely death.
Bobbi Kristina was rushed to hospital twice in the 24 hours following the discovery of her mother’s dead body in the bathtub at a Hollywood hotel.
The 18-year-old girl’s initial trip to the hospital came after learning of the devastating news, when the teenager reportedly consumed alcoholic drinks and was then given a sedative to calm her down by one of her mother’s entourage. She ended up passing out, according to Radaronline.
She was then pictured being taken out of the Beverly Hilton- the same hotel where her mother had died just hours earlier- on a stretcher around 10.30am Sunday and rushed to Cedars-sinai where she was treated for extreme anxiety.
She was released several hours later, but friends and family are still very concerned about her mental state and reports speculate that she may be bound for rehab.
Houston’s ex-husband Bobby Brown was in Nashville at the time of Houston’s death and his daughter Bobbi Kristina’s trips to the hospital, but he announced that he would be missing his concert that was scheduled for Sunday night in order to be by his daughter’s side.
While reports of prescription pills covering the bathroom and water being found in Ms Houston’s lungs have circulated heavily after she was found in a hotel room number 434 Saturday afternoon, the Los Angeles coroner would not confirm or deny any of the rumours. And, because the case has been placed on an indefinite security hold, those details will not be coming any time soon.
During a press conference Sunday evening, the coroner’s office said that the hold was requested due to the high-profile nature of Ms Houston’s death, and similar moves were taken for Michael Jackson and heiress Casey Johnson.
The details will not be released until the police investigation into the death is completed, which may take between one and two months.
The spokesman said that no one- including Ms Houston’s daughter- may visit the body while it is in their custody, though the star’s family would be able to collect the body in the coming days since the autopsy has been finished.
Paramedics battled to revive the singer but she was pronounced dead at 3.55pm yesterday afternoon, hours before she had been due to perform at a preGrammys party at the same hotel. Houston was found dead under the water by her bodyguard in a luxury suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. She was 48.
