 Bobbi Kristina Brown is still in a medically-induced coma¹, a week after being discovered face-down in a tub of water. National reporter Nick Valencia here, tracking the developments.

 

Yeah, this is a big development. Police are now focusing their attention on the boyfriend, Nick Gordon, the man that Bobbi Kristina would call her husband, though we checked into marriage records we could not find any official documents they are married. But now, the attention solely² on Nick Gordon. And what police really want to find out is, Bobbi Kristina was found with some injuries they are unable to explain and they hope that Nick Gordon can perhaps glean³ information on that, they also want to know exactly what transpired⁴ in the hours leading up to her being found in the bathtub, face-down.

 

And so, how do they feel they’re going to be able to get those answers? Strictly⁵ by this conversation with Nick Gordon or does it encompass⁶ a lot of players?

 

Well we wish we knew. We know that there were four people in the home. There have been media reports including Nick Gordon himself who said that he found her. We now know that it was actually another man named Max Lomus who may have lived there, we’re not quite sure about that. Police said two couples lived in there. Nick Gordon is also reportedly to have lawyered-up, something we have yet to confirm independently at CNN. So we don’t even know physically⁷ where he is right now. There was some restraining orders, some conflict, inner conflict with the dynamic of the family. He wasn’t allowed to visit Bobbi Kristina at the first hospital she was placed in. Second hospital, Emory University, he was spotted⁸ outside. We don’t know if he was ever able to make it inside, but right now everything is focused on this one man Nick Gordon.

 

Okay. Family members who are there, Bobbi Brown still there.

 

Correct, yeah.

 

Her dad, Cissy Houston.

 

And here’s really the unfortunate thing. As recently as Monday, we were told the hospital told that the family to prepare for the worst. Now we’re also seeing reports out there that family members are coming from far and wide, including Cissy Houston, who just showed up, that’s the grandmother, mother of Whitney Houston. So we’re told it could be very bad for Bobbi Kristina Brown. Of course the family maintaining hope, hoping for a miracle.
