Medical examiner: Water, drugs led to Bobbi Kristina's death

ATLANTA (AP) — Bobbi Kristina Brown's face was immersed in water and she was intoxicated with a mix of marijuana, alcohol, morphine and other drugs – both conditions that caused pneumonia that led to her death, a medical examiner said in a statement released this morning.

Today's revelations come after months of speculation about how she died, including a wrongful death lawsuit filed by her estate against her partner, Nick Gordon, accusing him of giving her a "toxic cocktail" and putting her face down in water.

The medical examiner classified the manner of death as "undetermined" because investigators could not determine if it was accidental or intentional, or if it was a suicide or homicide.

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

"He's always maintained his innocence. I personally hope this puts to rest all the negativity surrounding him," Kessler said.

The 22-year-old daughter of singers Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban Atlanta townhome Jan. 31, 2015, and died in hospice care July 26.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office in Atlanta said it reviewed medical records, investigative files and other documents to determine how Brown likely died. Marijuana and alcohol were involved in the death, along with medications used for sedation or to treat anxiety; and "a cocaine-related substance" called benzoylecgonine, the medical examiner's office said.
