Bobbi Kristina 'Death Photo Sold To Media'

An image of Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, lying in her casket has reportedly been sold for a six-figure sum.

TMZ claims the picture was auctioned off for more than $100,000 (£64,000) and was taken when family viewed her body the day before her funeral.

The showbiz website does not say which media outlet has allegedly bought the photograph.

The 22-year-old suffered irreversible brain damage after being found face-down in a bathtub in her Georgia home six months ago.

She had been in a medically-induced coma, but died last week and wasburied next to her mother on Monday.

The families are now blaming each other for the picture, despite measures being taken to stop such a thing happening, claim TMZ sources.

Bobbi Kristina's death was eerily similar to the way her mother died.

In 2012, Whitney Houston's body was found face-down in a foot of water in her bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
