    Singer Bobby Brown has lost another child to unfortunate events. Bobby Brown Jr., who is the half-brother to Bobbi Kristina, was found dead Wednesday in his home in the L.A. area.  Police are still investigating, and our sources tell us, at this point, they do not believe there was foul play involved.

    His sister, Bobbi Kristina, also died young when she was just 22 years old after she was found lifeless in the bathtub of her Georgia home.

    Brown Jr., who was following in his father’s footsteps with a music career, was one of two children from the 11-year on-and-off relationship between Brown and Kim Ward that ended in 2011.

    One of seven Brown children, Brown Jr. was 13 when he appeared on the family’s short-lived 2005 Bravo reality show, “Being Bobby Brown,” along with Bobbi Kristina Brown. Brown Jr. dropped his first music single “Say Something” in September.

    This is yet another blow to the Brown family. If you remember, the past few years have been an emotional rollercoaster ride for R&B singer Bobby Brown.

    He’s had his run-ins with the law over drug possession and use, went back and forth with his New Edition family, but it was his family and those closest to him that seemed to have suffered the most.

    His ex-wife, famed superstar Whitney Houston, was found dead due to an apparent drug overdose in 2012. Plus, one of the hardest things Brown says he had to deal with and is still dealing with is his daughter Bobbi Kristina’s death.

    Bobbi Kristina tragically passed away at the young age of 22. Her death came almost six months after she was found — in circumstances eerily similar to her mother’s death — unconscious in her bathtub.

    Months later, Bobbi Kristina was placed in hospice care on Wednesday, June 24, after treatment in a medically induced coma.

    She was surrounded by family and friends at the time of her death.

    An investigation revealed, through an autopsy, that Bobbi Kristina had morphine, cocaine, alcohol and prescription drugs in her body, but the medical examiner couldn’t determine if she killed herself, if someone else killed her or if her death was accidental.

    Bobbie Kristina’s ex, Nick Gordon, was also found dead, at age 30 in January of 2020.

    According to TMZ.com, Nick Gordon had some sort of black fluid foaming out of his mouth when someone called 911 and he wasn’t breathing.

    How does Bobby deal with it all?

    He said he takes life day by day and remembers, that he has angels around him now.

    “Angels are keeping me on the right path,” explained Brown. “What keeps me moving is that I know I have more angels now watching over me. My mom, her [Bobbi Kristina], even Whitney.”

    Our prayers go out to Bobby and the whole Brown family.
