Bobby Brown Jr.’s death in November was due to a toxic combination of alcohol, cocaine and fentanyl.
The LA County Medical Examiner’s Office released its findings on Monday, which were obtained by TMZ. According to the report, which considers Brown’s death to be accidental, a witness told police that he saw him drinking tequila and sniffed half a Percocet along with cocaine.
Brown’s family said he was not feeling well before his death, but a source close to TMZ told him that he did not have COVID-19.
A close friend of Brown’s, rapper Mikey Polo, told the Sun in November that Brown’s death “was probably [caused by] a lot of party or something [but] I don’t want anyone looking at him like a drug addict who has overdosed. “
“He had a lot to live for and if he had a drug problem, believe me, we would have stopped him,” added Polo.
The youngest Bobby was the son of Brown and Kim Ward – with whom the singer had an intermittent 11-year relationship – making him the half brother of Bobbi Kristina, daughter of Bobby Brown with Whitney Houston. Kristina’s death in 2015, which happened three years after Houston was found dead in a hotel bathtub, revealed a mixture of morphine, cocaine, alcohol and prescription drugs that led to her drowning in the bathtub and going into a coma. Bobbi Kristina’s ex-fiance, Nick Gordon, died in 2020 after a heroin overdose.
“Please keep my family in your prayers right now,” said Brown, 52, in a statement after his son’s death in November. “Losing my son at this point in our lives devastated my family. There are no words to explain the pain. “
