Bobby Jr., 28, was found dead at home in Encino, Los Angeles on Wednesday around 1:50 pm.

His close friend Karey Graves told The Daily Mail that the aspiring singer suffered from a heart condition, which could explain his cause of death.
Karey revealed: "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."

She feels that Bobby Jr. essentially predicted his own death, saying: "It was eerie, like he knew something was going to happen, but wouldn't seek medical help because he has a phobia of hospitals."
Karey added that she felt he could have had the viral disease, saying: "From my view, I feel like he had covid or maybe another illness that didn't make it easy for his pre-existing heart condition.

"He definitely knew something was going to happen. It sounded like a super bad cold.
"A heavy voice that sounded congested and I heard him cough intensely too when he got up to get a drink."
On Thursday, TMZ disclosed that the star had experienced flu-like symptoms prior to his death but confirmed that he did not have Covid-19.
Another close friend to Bobby Jr., Mikey Polo, spoke out in an exclusive interview with The Sun, wanting to ensure the public that his buddy did not have a drug problem.

"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."
Mikey guarantees that Bobby Jr. was a happy soul, always "smiling, high energy, making music, planning music."
