Is Bobbi Kristina Brown going to die? And what happened to her?

What happened to her: She was found face down in a bathtub. She was underwater/deprived of air for long enough to deprive her brain of oxygen for several minutes or longer.

There have been NO medical reports released that have stated that she had drugs in her system...they did find drugs in the house, apparently, but that does not necessarily mean she had used them, or that she had overdosed. There's no toxicology to back that hypothesis up right now. In addition there is NO solid evidence that it was foul play...although those possibilities will certainly be considered. It is not known definitively how long she was deprived of oxygen. Unfortunately some of that probably won't be known for a while. A murder investigation will understandably take some time, as will autopsy/toxicology reports.

Will she die? Unfortunately, it looks probable. There are conflicting reports on whether she is brain dead or not so there are two possibilities here.

#1. If she IS brain dead, she's already legally dead. Most states will use the time and date of the doctors' declaration of brain death as the official time and date of death, period. Brain death is considered to be irreversible. As the name would suggest, it means that the brain has almost entirely ceased to function and is damaged to the point where it will not be able to return. Brain death is VERY different from a coma. A person who is brain dead can be kept on artificial nutrition and a ventilator, but it cannot bring them back. Someone with brain death may sometimes have reflexive motion, such as opening eyes, but again, it's not a signal that they're waking up. It's been proven that people who were guillotined in the olden days sometimes opened and closed their eyes, too.

A brain dead person is generally kept on a vent long enough to organize organ donation and/or for the family and friends to assemble to say goodbye.

#2. If she is NOT brain dead, but is in either a coma or a persistent vegetative state, there IS a chance she could be revived. In those cases the brain has not checked out. However, due to the oxygen deprivation, if she does revive, she may have brain damage. Can THAT be reversed? With rehabilitation services, someone with brain damage can often recover, but unfortunately that doesn't guarantee they will be back where they were before they were injured. Others, unfortunately, suffer permanent and irreversible disability from brain damage. Some are even what we would term "vegetables" because they have almost no brain function. And there isn't a crystal ball for the doctors to know how much damage there is and how much one can recover sometimes. There have been plenty of cases where doctors haven't been hopeful that a patient can recover, and the patient turns around and does incredibly well and defies all the cynical predictions. There have been other times where patients have been expected to recover well and it hasn't happened.

All in all it's a very, very sad situation for this young woman. And we won't know exactly what happened until some time has passed for both medical and criminal investigations to be made and for conclusions to be drawn.

Is Bobbi Kristina Brown going to die? And what happened to her?

Bobbi Kristina Brown was found face down in the bathtub filled with water. If they found someone else like that and in a swimming pool they would have tried to revive her and then pronounced her dead at the scene. Since it is Whitney Huston's daughter they have her on a machine so her heart beats. I think they should unplug the machine and just let her go. She will be in a better place and perhaps even with her mother who she so dearly needed in this life.

I too, am an EEG Tech (I have performed many brain death determination tests during my long career . Brain death is technically an irreversible coma (that you will never recover from). This includes no reflexes including gag reflex, Eyes have been known to open after death, so technically it isnt a true reflex . also there will be no blood flow of the brain which can be determined by other medical imaging tests if a family has any doubts, and no electrical activity of the brain (it is flat-lined) via the EEG test. First of all, Bobby Brown technically has had a near drowning. This means she survived a drowning. This said, during the drowning event.. blood will be deprived of oxygen causing brain damage (hypoxia) and blood flow will stop flowing to the extremities (ischemia). It can also in some cases cause brain swelling. The brain swelling can be managed by medically induced coma and/or by ventilation at a faster rate than normal to reduce swelling. Typically both can be done. If she continues to have some brain function, she could die, or theorically could live, as brain waves can improve in time, but probably will have some neurological deficits. If she is turly brain dead, there is no hope for survival.

She was found face down in a bathtub.Nobody knows if she tried to commit suicide and missed her mom so much, she overdosed or someone tried to kill her

She's in medically induced Coma and on life support with a venalator but she's not having any signs of brain activity. Sadly she will die when her dad comes to terms she's gone and lets her go

Very tragic and sad.She never had a good childhood with her parents being drug addicts and that's all she ever grew up to know, and nobody tried to help her after the loss of her mom.I think she lost herself when Whitney died. I mean after the death of Whitney her family did a reality show.That's not something you should be doing after a death, and she looked high alot of the time on the show

My thoughts and prayers go out to Boobi Kristina and her family during this very difficult time

Now they are suspecting foulplay

I hope BK doesn't die, but I think the reality is, she'll either die, or be left a vegetable--which will result in little to no communication with her family-- and lots of money being spent, that is obviously present. I think BK(if not drown by her boyfriend), was so depressed in the wake of her mother's biopic (which accompanies the anniversary of her death), and the constant public/media scrutiny. A person can only deal with so much, and people can be ruthless. A lot of people do drugs to drown out these social burdens (no pun intended). It's the reason (I think) why Whitney is no longer here. A person's gotta have thick skin to be a public figure, and BK did not sign up to be a public figure, she just is by default. I hope a miracle recovery happens to BK and God bless the Houston-Brown family.

I am an EEG Tech. I perform brain function test and evaluate patients in her state. Not knowing what her EEG showed( I did hear she had some brain function, but it was small) I can't speak for if she has a positive change for a meaningful recovery.

Best case scenario, she will have an anoxic brain injury and could live. As for her quality of life, that would be impossible to say at this time. Worse case scenario, she is brain dead. Somewhere in between, is she isn't brain dead, but can't breath without the vent.

I have seen people recover from a terribly slow EEG. If it is flat...she can't recover. I feel if it was flat, the Drs themselves would withdraw care because in that case, they can do that without the families consent. But I know this is not an ordinary case...and because of this, they may not choose to and instead wait for the family to decide. I can't see them waiting for too many days. If she is brain dead and the family did not want to withdraw care, they would tell them that they will place a trach in her and send her to a long care facility.

Well seems like everyone answered your question about what happened to her.....but as far as your question about whether or not she will die....well that's unknown. No one except God alone could possibly know that answer right now. It's all in His hands. He's a very mysterious God and and works in very mysterious ways. All we can do is have faith and pray. If it's her time..then it's her time. It's very sad and I feel terrible for her family after all they've been through. Pray for them as well....they need it too.

I think she is getting her life support pulled because she is at a point of no return. It's sad. But I read somewhere once that someone was in a vegetative state (which I understand is different from a coma) but after they got up after 30 years they could recall everything that happened when they were in a vegetative state, including remembering how his mother just stopped visiting.

I imagine in this sad situation, she will die. What happened to her? A life she didn't choose and two really messed up parents who were more concerned about how much coke they could shovel up their noses than a fragile little girl who needed love, attention and some sort or normality. There was nothing normal about this poor girl's life and a really tragically resulting end to this disturbing upbringing.
