In a strange twist of events, Bobbi Kristina’s close friend met a similar fate on August 15, 2018. A friend became concerned after he didn’t return from a bathroom trip, only to find a “worst case scenario” in full effect.
According to TMZ, Bobbi Kristina Brown‘s friend — Max Lomas, who found her near death, inside a bathtub in 2015 — has come upon, essentially, the same fate.
The source reports Max Lomas was found unresponsive, due to an apparent drug overdose. TMZ mentions law enforcement in Mississippi told the source Max was at a friend’s home on August 15.
Lomas eventually went to use the bathroom. However, he reportedly didn’t come right back, and his friend became concerned. Max’s friend allegedly went to check on him and found Lomas unresponsive on the bathroom’s floor.
A syringe was also found near his body, the source states.
According to Page Six, Max Lomas was then rushed to a local hospital. However, he subsequently died after succumbing to the effects of the overdose.
HOW LOMAS TIES INTO BOBBI’S STORY
TMZ reports that Max was actually suspected of being Bobbi Kristina’s drug dealer when she was alive.
The source states he was nevertheless a close friend of the star and was at Bobbi’s home in the hours leading up to her overdose. As aforementioned, Max was the one to find Bobbi unresponsive in a bathtub. He and Brown’s then-boyfriend, Nick Gordon, called paramedics to the scene.
However, doctors were unable to revive her; so, physicians placed her in a medically induced coma in attempts for her body to heal and recover.
She remained on life support for a while; but after some time, her family made the decision to put her on hospice. Shortly thereafter, Bobbi Kristina passed away.
The source mentions that Max Lomas wasn’t found responsible for her death. Instead, in September 2016, a judge found Bobbi’s boyfriend ‘legally responsible’ for her death.
Accordingly, Gordon was ordered to pay $35 million in the lawsuit against Kristina’s family. It’s the family, who alleged that Nick drugged her. To this day, Bobby blames Nick and mourns his daughter’s loss.
People Magazine reports that Max Lomas lived off and on with Bobbi Kristina during her latter years. Interestingly enough, he and Kristina reportedly used to date. According to him, Whitney Houston actually took him in as a troubled teen. Yet, while living there, Lomas and Bobbi Kristina were “romantically in love,” as reports People. “[Whitney] loved that we were dating and always wanted me to protect Krissy,” Kristina’s friend mentioned.
But there really wasn’t much “protecting” happening. In the same interview with the source, he stated: “We were all pretty bad into drugs.”

Unfortunately, Max also stated that weeks before Bobbi’s incident, they had all made a pact to get off drugs. People reports his quote as follows:
“We all decided that we were going to get off drugs, live healthier lifestyles. We all went to the gym together. But it didn’t work out. We started using again.”
Tragically, as it costed Brown her life, Max Lomas met a similarly eerie end.
All in all, this is extremely sad no matter how we look at it. Clearly, those young people both had some serious inner battles they were dealing with that needed to be addressed long before both of their passings.
