Bobbi Kristina Brown's autopsy results unclear

Mar 07, 2016, 07:49

'The cause of Bobbi Kristina Brown's death as determined by the Fulton County Medical Examiner is: Lobar pneumonia, ' said the statement, 'Due to: Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, delayed effects.

Brown was under the influence of marijuana, alcohol, a cocaine-related substance called benzoylecgonine, morphine and benzodiazepines, which are medications used for sedation or to treat anxiety, according to the medical examiner.

The medical examiner says investigators could not determine if the death was accidental or intentional, or if it was a suicide or homicide. The official cause of Bobbi Kristina's death has been a source of great controversy since a judge sealed the coroner's records last autumn, pending a criminal investigation into any involvement that Bobbi Kristina's then-boyfriend, Nick Gordon, may have had in her death.

An attorney for Bobbi Kristina Brown's boyfriend says he hopes new details about what led to her death puts to rest "all the negativity" that surrounds his client.

Randy Kessler, an attorney for Gordon, said he was not surprised by the findings.

His seemingly good mood might be because the autopsy "backs up his claim", a source close to Gordon told People.

Brown was placed in a medically induced coma and died in a Hospice in Duluth, Georgia on July 26.

The medical examiner also couldn't attribute a manner of death to Brown's passing.

"You've got to basically comb through all of the victim's interactions with the defendant and build this entire sequence of events based upon the medical evidence that is available", Cino said.

However, two television stations sued for its release and a judge ruled in their favor Thursday. The legal team also told the site that they were not happy about the report being kept under a seal for so long because it allowed a negative perception of him to continue.

The autopsy report gave Bobbi Kristina's cause of death as drug intoxication and drowning.

Following the ruling, an initial statement was released by the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office on Friday - on what would have been Bobbi's 23rd birthday - and reveals what condition her body was in when she was found unconscious in the tub on January 21, 2015.

"She had drugs in her system, and this wasn't a cocktail".

Bobby - who had his daughter with his late ex-wife Whitney Houston - stated: "First and foremost, 23 years ago today, Bobbi Kristina was born. Krissy will always live in my heart and soul", Bobby said. "I love my baby girl", he said.

No criminal charges have been filed against Gordon, but he is facing a $10 million (£7 million) wrongful death lawsuit from his late girlfriend's court-appointed co-conservator, Bedelia Hargrove.
