R&B fusion artiste James Worthy, who was a close friend of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston, has revealed that the “Every Little Step” star believes there was more to his wife’s tragic death, according to a Daily Star report.
Worthy, the report adds, had been a close family friend of the late Bobby Brown Jr, his father Bobby Brown and the singing icon Whitney Houston.
He made the revelation in an exclusive interview with Daily Star, saying that Bobby Brown still believes that “foul play” could have been behind his wife’s sudden death in 2012.
The 29-year-old award-winning artist e who “grew up” with Bobby Brown Jr, explained that the family had always been suspicious after knowing that Whitney had been “clean from drugs” for some time before her tragic passing.
Just one day before the Grammy Awards, Houston was found submerged in a bathtub of her Beverly Hilton Hotel on February 11, 2012.
The emergency services were called to the scene where she was unconscious with the legendary hitmaker passing away not long after.
In 2013, a coroner concluded that her death was the result of drowning and the “effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use”.
At the time and in the official report, it was believed that Whitney had used cocaine shortly before she died and several other drugs were also reportedly found in her system.
More recently, a 2018 documentary titled Whitney had been replayed on Channel 4 to mark the 10 year anniversary of her sad death.
In the biopic, ex-husband Bobby Brown made a rare appearance which saw him adamantly explain that drugs were not to blame for Whitney’s death.
