Authorities in Fulton County, which is outside Atlanta and where Bobbi Kristina lived, have known the results since the autopsy was completed and then rushed to seal the autopsy and requested that no one poke around.
Meanwhile, the Fulton County Medical Examiner website states that until it receives a signed authorization from the court “we do not plan to release information until tomorrow, March 4, 2016, at the latest”.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said in a statement he believes the records should remain sealed but that he will follow the instructions of the court. He still wants to keep the results public and urged media to behave with “discretion” upon its release.
But Atlanta’s WXIA-TV filed a motion to unseal the report under the state’s Open Meetings and Open Records Act, saying that the records were sealed without a hearing or notice to the public.
She lingered in a coma for months and died July 26.
The petition was filed by 11 Alive to unseal the report, which was closed from public inspection September 25, 2015, by a court order.
Publicists and lawyers for Bobby Brown, Whitney’s ex-husband and Bobbi Kristina’s father, and for Houston’s family did not return requests for comment.
Brown, 22, was found facedown and unconscious in her bathtub in January 2015. Brown’s death came three years after her Grammy-award-winning mother drowned in a bathtub in a Beverly Hills hotel.
Speculations and accusations surrounded Bobbi Kristina’s death.
While the autopsy results have yet to be made public, Bobbi Kristina’s court-appointed conservator Bedelia Hargrove alleges in a lawsuit against Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend Nick Gordon “injected” her with a “toxic mixture”, blaming him for her “wrongful death”.
