Staying secret: Medics know how Bobbi Kristina died but they aren’t saying

The cause of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s death has been determined but a court order prevents it being publicly revealed. Bobbi Kristina, daughter of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston, died in a hospice on 26 July after months in a coma. The 22-year-old had been found face-down and unconscious in a bathtub on 31 January at a townhouse she shared with Nick Gordon in Atlanta, Georgia. The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office said the results of the post-mortem will not be released because of the court order from Fulton County Superior Court.

A Fulton County Superior Court Order dated September 25, 2015 has been received Sealing the Autopsy Report and ordering the Medical Examiner to not release any further information to the public.

Her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, is subject of a $10m wrongful death lawsuit by the family alleging he played a central role in her death. Bobbi Kristina - referred to as Krissy by family members - was treated in hospital twice for anxiety after her mother passed away. In February 2012, Ms Brown’s mother Houston died aged 48 from accidental drowning in a bathtub at a hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Authorities said years of cocaine abuse and heart disease played a key role in Houston’s death.
