Bobby Brown has addressed the death of his son, Bobby Brown Jr.
The son of legendary singer, Bobby Brown, was found dead at his home in Los Angeles on Wednesday, aged just 28.
While his cause of death remains unclear, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that they were called to a “medical emergency” but suspect that foul play did not cause his death.
A representative for Bobby Brown Snr told Daily Star Online: “Bobby Brown Jr. was not feeling well a couple of days before his death, with flu-like symptoms. This is a tragic loss and we will be letting the authorities conduct their investigation of his death.”

A friend of Bobby recently told the Daily Mail that he had suffered from a heart condition which he was born with.
“He told me a long time ago that he was born with a heart condition, and when he called me on Tuesday he was saying how he was sick and how you never know what you’ll die from,” said Karey Graves.

She added: “It was eerie like he knew something was going to happen, but wouldn’t seek medical help because he has a phobia of hospitals.”
Over the past few months, Bobby Jr had posted about suffering from depression, with suggestions that it was caused by the coronavirus lockdown.
In May he shared on social media: “I can’t do this quarantine s**t. It’s day 08373930847399 and I’m at the point of literally going for walks… Bruh since when tf do I wanna ‘go for a walk.’ [sic]”
