Family lets Bobbi Kristina die on same day as Whitney

The Browns gave their blessing to pull the plug off Bobbi Kristina at the stroke of midnight to align the date with the 2012 passing of the legendary singer at the Beverly Hilton Hotel

Bobbi Kristina Brown’s anguished relatives have agreed to take her off life support — but had to wait until Wednesday so she can die on the same date as her tragic mom, Whitney Houston, sources revealed.

Bobbi’s grandmother Cissy Houston floated the idea of a Feb. 11 death over the weekend during discussions with the Brown family at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.

The Browns gave their blessing to pull the plug at the stroke of midnight to align the date with the 2012 passing of the legendary singer at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

The move is a symbolic way to keep the mother and daughter together for eternity, according to a Brown family source.

Bobbi Kristina, 21, the only child of Houston and singer Bobby Brown, has been in a medically induced coma since she was found unresponsive in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia, home Jan. 31

The Brown and Houston families have been bickering since Bobbi Kristina was rushed to the hospital, but they have now come to grips with the fact that she cannot be saved, the source said.

“This is the only thing they can agree on — that she’s gone [brain-dead], and there’s nothing more than can be done for her,” the source said.
The agonizing choice to finally pull the plug on the young woman was made by both sides, the source said.

Around 500 people gathered for the vigil on Monday evening, singing gospel songs and praying for Brown's recovery.
