Bobby Brown, the father of Bobbi Kristina Brown, has released a short statement following the death of his daughter, saying "I am completely numb at this time."
Brown, whose mother was found dead in a hotel bath in Los Angeles in 2012, was discovered at her home in Atlanta, Georgia face down in a bathtub at the end of January. A police report described the incident as a "drowning", and Brown lacked a pulse before emergency services arrived.
She was subsequently placed in a medically induced coma, from which she never awoke. Last month, she was moved to a hospice as her condition deteriorated. This week, Brown passed away at the age of 22.

Now, in a statement, singer Bobby Brown has paid tribute to his daughter. "Krissy was and is an angel," he said. "I am completely numb at this time. My family must find a way to live with her in spirit and honour her memory. Our loss is unimaginable.''
Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office have said that the six months Brown was in a coma would make it difficult to determine her cause of death, adding that it could take "several weeks".
