BOBBY Brown Jr died after consuming a deadly mix of alcohol, cocaine and fentanyl, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
The 28-year-old son of singer Bobby Brown Sr, Whitney Houston’s ex-husband, was found dead in his Encino home on November 18, and his autopsy was placed on a security hold as cops investigated his death.
The official report, now obtained by The Sun, shows he had a history of alcohol and drug use and his death was ruled as accidental.
The case report from LAPD read: “He had been suffering from congestion for the past 2-3 days with no reported fever or any other flu-like symptoms.
“In the hours prior to being found unresponsive he had consumed tequila and snorted cocaine and percocet.”
He was last seen alive by his girlfriend, Anna Reed, at 5am and at approximately 1.45pm she found him unresponsive on his bedroom floor covered in a white sheet, but believed he was asleep.
Another person arrived at the house sometime later and yelled at Brown Jr to “wake up” before pulling him into the middle of the room and splashing water on his face – after which they called 911.
No drugs or drug paraphernalia were found at the scene and no foul play is suspected, the report ruled.
Further details from the report, released by LA County Medical Examiner’s Office, show he consumed one and a half bottles of tequila, “shared” a Percocet tablet and snorted three lines of cocaine.
He died at 11am on November 18 and was also found to have a small linear abrasion on his right arm below his shoulder, measuring up to 1 3/16 inches, the report read.
Police arrived at Bobby Brown Jr’s home after a report of an unspecified “medical emergency” in the 5200 block of White Oak Avenue shortly around 1.50pm and officers pronounced him dead at the scene.
Bobby Brown Sr released a statement after the tragic death saying the family was left “devastated.”
He said: “Please keep my family in your prayers at this time. Losing my son at this point in our lives has devastated my family. There are no words to explain the pain.”
It’s another tragic blow for the family after Bobby Snr. also lost Bobbi Kristina, the performer’s daughter with Whitney, who tragically died back in 2015.
She was found in her bathtub with high levels of cocaine and alcohol in her bloodstream at age 22.
The family kept her on life support for several months before she passed in a desperate attempt to save her life.
Her tragic end was strangely reminiscent of her mother Whitney’s death in 2012.
The 48-year-old hitmaker was also found dead in her bathtub from cocaine intoxication and coronary artery disease.
Brown Jr was the son of Kim Ward, who had an 11 year relationship with his father around the same time he was dating Whitney.
Mikey Polo, a close friend of Bobby Jr’s, spoke out in an exclusive interview with The Sun, saying he was adamant he did not have a drug problem – but could have been partying.
He shared: “Bobby was one of my close friends – we would be at the same house, making music together, partying together, chilling together, waking up on the couch and talking to each other.
“It’s a huge shock to me – I was only just with him.
“Bobby was a real energetic person, he was cool, we’d all hang around in the same group of friends making music.
“He wasn’t badly harmed or anything like that, he was found dead and we’re still waiting for news on that.”
He added: “It was probably too much partying or something like that.
“But I want everybody to know that my bro Bobby was one of the best people – I know people are going to look at how his father grew up and everything that Whitney did – but not Bobby.

“He had a lot to live for and if he had a drug problem, trust me, we would have stopped it. I would not let Bobby do anything and f**k up in front of me. I’ve lost too many people to drugs.
“I know people are going to say, ‘Oh he’s Bobby Brown’s son he must have taken too much coke or too much whatever’ – I don’t want anybody looking at him like a druggie who overdosed.”
