Report: Daughter of Whitney Houston in medically induced coma

ROSWELL, Ga. (MyFoxBoston.com) - Bobbi Kristina Brown, the 21-year-old daughter of the late Whitney Houston, was found facedown and unresponsive in a bathtub Saturday morning and was rushed to the hospital, according to Atlanta's WSB-TV and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Police told WSB-TV that four people were inside the Roswell, Georgia, townhouse when Brown was found in the bathtub. Brown's husband and a friend told police they discovered her and started CPR.

Police took over life-saving measures until rescue crews arrived. Brown was then transported to North Fulton Hospital.

TMZ is reporting that sources close to the family say she's been place in a medically induced coma to address swelling. An AJC reporter was told to leave the hospital property Saturday, and no hospital representatives were available for official comment.

“She is still alive and breathing, and other than that, I do not know her condition at this time,” Roswell Police Department public information officer Lisa Holland said during a Saturday afternoon news conference. “Investigators are on the scene at the hospital and the house.”

Video from news helicopters showed several officers going in and out of the home Saturday afternoon. Police say they searched the home and did not find any drugs inside.

At a later news conference, Holland said she could not comment regarding Brown's condition due to medical privacy laws. She didn't know how long Brown had been in the bathtub before being being discovered, and said there was no sign of struggle.
