Bobby Brown Jr, the son of singer Bobby Brown, has been found dead in Los Angeles, aged 28.

The PA news agency reports that police were called to Brown’s home over a “medical emergency”.

There is no suspicion of foul play, police said.

The cause of Brown’s death has not yet been disclosed. His brother, Landon, shared a black and white photo of him in a tribute on Instagram, writing: “I love you forever King.”

Brown Jr’s death comes after that of his half-sister, Bobbi Kristina Brown, who died aged 22 in 2015.

Bobbi Kristina was the daughter of Brown and singer Whitney Houston. Bobbi Kristina died after spending six months in a coma, after she was found unconscious in a bathtub at her Georgia home.

Brown and Houston had a tempestuous relationship and were married from 1992 to 2007.

Houston, one of the best-selling artists of all time, died in 2012, aged 48, in eerily similar circumstances. She accidentally drowned in a bathtub at a hotel in Beverly Hills – drugs were listed as a contributing factor to her death.

As well as Bobby Jr and Bobbi Kristina, Brown has five other children.
