- Doctors have taken Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of late singer
Whitney Houston, off the ventilator that has helped her breathe since
she was found unresponsive in a bathtub last month, but no decisions
have been made to take her off life support, a family source said on
Thursday.
The source, who declined to be identified, said Brown's
overall condition has not changed. Removing the breathing tube was a
standard course of practise to avoid infection, the source said.
Family members have said Brown, 21, the only child of
singers Bobby Brown and Houston, is fighting for her life at Emory
University Hospital in Atlanta after she was discovered on Jan. 31 face
down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban home.
They have said little about the aspiring singer's
treatment or medical prognosis, and Bobby Brown has asked for privacy.
Police in Roswell, Georgia, are treating the case as a
criminal investigation and have been questioning people about the
circumstances leading up to Brown being found in the tub.
Brown's famous mother, a six-time Grammy Award winner and
actress who battled substance abuse, drowned in a hotel bathtub in
Beverly Hills, California, on Feb. 11, 2012. Authorities said cocaine
use and heart disease contributed to Houston's death at age 48.
