No stranger to tragedy, Brown's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, who he had with Whitney Houston, died at 22-years-old in 2015.

She was found in January of that year unconscious in her home's bathtub in Roswell, Georgia. She died several months later after being taken off a ventilator and put into hospice care. She died just a few years after her mother, who drowned in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton in 2012.
