NEWSBobby Brown Jr. Autopsy Report Revealed: Death Due To Lethal Combination Of Alcohol, Cocaine, Fentanyl
Bobby Brown Jr.'s cause of death has been revealed.
The autopsy report was released on Monday, March 22, and confirmed that the 28-year-old son of Bobby Brown died from a lethal combination of alcohol, cocaine and fentanyl. His death is listed as accidental.
Brown Jr. was found by his girlfriend on the bedroom floor of his Los Angeles home on November 18. She called paramedics who soon declared him dead. According to the report, a witness told police that they had seen him drinking tequila and snorting half a Percocet and cocaine before he passed.
According to TMZ, the autospy report has triggered a criminal investigation due to the involvement of narcotic drugs, which are often cut with fentanyl. No arrests have been made yet.
"Please keep my family in your prayers at this time," Brown Jr.'s father said in a statement at the time. "Losing my son at this point in our lives has devastated my family. There are no words to explain the pain."
"I love you forever King," his older brother, Landon, shared on social media at the time.
At the time, his family said that he had been feeling unwell in the days leading up to his death but did not have COVID-19. Authorities did not suspect foul play, as previously reported by OK!, and no drugs were found at the scene.
Brown Jr.'s friend, rapper Mikey Polo, told The Sun at the time that his death "was probably [caused by] too much partying or something like that." He added, "I know people are going to say, 'Oh, he’s Bobby Brown’s son, he must have taken too much coke or too much whatever' — I don’t want anybody looking at him like a druggie who overdosed."
The "Every Little Step" crooner shared Brown Jr. with Kim Ward. Brown’s half-sister was Bobbi Kristina Brown, who passed away in 2015 at 22 when she was found passed out in a bathtub.
Bobbi Kristina's mother, Whitney Houston, tragically died in a similar manner in 2012 in a bathtub. The 48-year-old’s death was linked to heart disease and cocaine use.
Then, Kristina’s ex-boyfriend Nick Gordon passed away in January 2020. The 30-year-old died of what is believed to be a suspected overdose. He was also found liable for Bobbi Kristina’s death but was not criminally charged.
TMZ was the first to report on Brown Jr.’s autopsy.
