Detectives
don't believe foul play was involved, and the incident is being treated as a
medical investigation, Holland said Saturday afternoon. No further information
about Brown's condition was made available. Police were last called to the home
on Jan. 23 after a reported "fight," but officers found no evidence
when they arrived, Holland said.
Brown's scare
comes less than two weeks before the third anniversary of her mother's death.
Houston, a seven-time Grammy winner, was found submerged in a bathtub in a
Beverly Hills, California, hotel on Feb. 11, 2012. She was later pronounced
dead. Brown is also the daughter of R&B singer Bobby Brown.
"Obviously
the mother died in this very same manner, with her being found deceased in a
tub and again, two years later, this is happening here," Holland told NBC
affiliate WXIA. "Obviously we wish this family well, and our thoughts and
prayers are with this family."
Houston, 48,
had struggled for years with cocaine, marijuana and pills, and her behavior had
become erratic. Authorities examining Houston's death found a dozen
prescription drug bottles in the hotel suite. They concluded that she
accidentally drowned. Heart disease and cocaine use were also listed as contributing
factors in her death.
Earlier this
month, Lifetime released the biopic, "Whitney," which focused on the
"I Will Always Love You" singer's drug use. Houston's sister-in-law,
Pat Houston, released a statement blasting the film and said neither her
mother, Cissy Houston, or Bobbi Kristina Brown, were consulted.
