Bobby Brown Visits Whitney Houston And Their Daughter’s Graves For The First Time — Says Singer Would Still Be Alive Today If They Had Stayed Together
In a preview clip of a new A&E Network documentary, obtained by the Daily Mail, Bobby Brown opens up even more about the deaths of his ex-wife, legendary singer Whitney Houston, and his daughter, Bobbi Kristina.
Whitney Houston was found dead in a bathtub at a Beverly Hills hotel on February 11, 2012. A coroner’s report stated that the cause of death was accidental drowning, with heart disease and cocaine use as contributing factors. She was 48 years old. Whitney and Bobbi Kristina Brown died within barely three years of each other in eerily similar circumstances. Bobbi Kristina never regained consciousness after she too was discovered submerged in a bathtub full of water. After being in a medically induced coma for several months, she died on July 26, 2015, at the age of 22.
In the new doc, Bobby Brown says he suffers from daily heartbreak. The R&B icon also says that he believes his ex-wife would still be alive today had they stayed together – and fought their hard drug addictions. “I think we could have helped each other out. I think she would still be here if we hadn’t divorced. I wasn’t there. I beat myself about it because I wasn’t there. I wish I could have been there for her,” the Daily Mail quotes. “We had made our beds and had to lie in them. We always felt that our love was strong enough to overcome any obstacle put in front of us. We would still be together if it wasn’t for drugs. Drugs got the best of us.”

As cameras followed him as he mustered the strength to visit their graves at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey for the first time, Bobby kissed the headstone of Whitney and whispered: “I love you.” Addressing his late wife and daughter, he said: “I brought you guys some flowers. Sorry I have not come by. Sorry, this is my first time. But you guys know I don’t like cemeteries,” the news site quotes. “I know you are looking down watching me, watching your siblings. I hope you are taking care of little Bobby I know you guys are frightened up there. I miss you guys so much. Y’all take care of each other okay.”
