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 was buried next to her mother on Monday.
A police report described the death as a drowning, but authorities are still investigating what happened.
A weekend memorial service for the 22-year-old was interrupted by the airing of a long-standing rift between the families of her parents.
Bobbi Kristina's father is R&B singer Bobby Brown.
