Her “adopted brother” whom Bobbi also dated, Nick Gordon, passed away in January from a heroin overdose, while Houston died after drowning in a bathtub in 2012.

Houston’s daughter passed away in 2015 at 22 years old. She was found unconscious in the bathtub with drugs in her system. She died six months later due to brain damage from being submerged in water. 

Bobbi's boyfriend and adopted brother, Gordon, said he tried to save the budding singer. However, he was legally held responsible for her death but did not face charges.

The "I Will Always Love You" singer was found dead in 2012 in a bathtub, at just 48 years old. Houston's autopsy report showed that coronary artery disease and cocaine intoxication played a part in her death. 

Her daughter's death three years later was eerily similar to her mother's.
