In the image, Bobbi Kristina (inset) is pictured lying in a bed at Peachtree Christian Hospice in Georgia - where she is expected to live out her final days - while a female relative hovers over her. The picture was snapped by an 'extended family member' and subsequently offered to several news sites and magazines for a staggering price. Some outlets (not including the Daily Mail Online) have shown interest. On Friday night, Bobbi Kristina's paternal aunt, Leolah Brown (pictured, right, visiting the hospice on Wednesday), took to Facebook to express her disgust that a family member had captured a photo of her aspiring actress niece in such a vulnerable state. She wrote that she is going to make anyone who has visited Bobbi Kristina take a lie detector test to track down the culprit.

The extra cops will be placed at landmarks and in crowded areas as residents watch the firework displays around the city. The heightened security comes as local authorities across the country have been told to remain vigilant this Independence Day, while the FBI has also stepped up its presence. The Bureau and the Department of Homeland Security have issued a bulletin to 18,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide to be on alert, warning that ISIS sympathizers may try to stage attacks. The FBI has set up commander centers in 56 of all its field offices across the United States to monitor any potential terrorist threats. Cities including Los Angeles, Boston and Washington D.C. will also see a spike in police presence and counter-terrorism efforts.

As Hillary Clinton walked freely down a New Hampshire road, she shook hands and greeted residents with a smile. But the members of the press accompanying her were a bit more restricted in their movements - for they were guided through the streets with a rope. The former Secretary of State's campaign staff kept reporters, cameramen and photographers at arm's length as she joined a July 4 parade in Gorham - fueling speculation she is trying to control the media. She joined the procession after spending the morning at a private residence in nearby Glen.

More than 70,000 fans of the Grateful Dead attended Friday night's performance (right) at Soldier Field in Chicago, the first of three shows that the surviving band members say will be their last. Rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, 67, bassist Phil Lesh, 75, and percussionists Mickey Hart, 71, and Bill Kreutzmann, 69, prepared (left) for the show with Phish front man Trey Anastasio playing the parts of deceased guitarist Jerry Garcia. Soldier Field was the site of the band's last show with Garcia before his death in 1995, and the band's opener on Friday was Box of Rain, the last song they played with him.

Matt Stonie (right) stopped Chestnut's (left) bid for a ninth straight victory on Saturday. Stonie, who finished second last year, downed 62 hot dogs and buns. The 23-year-old competitor beat the 31-year-old Chestnut (both seen top right) by two dogs. The next closest male competitor, Tim 'Eater X' Janus, ate 35 wieners. Defending champion Miki Sudo captured the women's division of the contest. Chestnut broke a world record in 2013 when he took down 69 soggy dogs (top left).

Dr Teresa Ann Sievers (left), 46, was found dead at her family's home (bottom right) on Jarvis Road in Bonita Springs, Florida, on Monday morning while her husband and children were with relatives in Connecticut. Police have confirmed that the physician (top right, being wheeled away from her house in a body bag) - who had flown home alone from the family trip the night before - is the victim of a homicide, but have yet to reveal the cause of death or a motive. Now, neighbors have told of how they heard pained screams and shouting coming from Sievers's house on the morning of her killing. 'It was early in the morning, before the sun was up... I got up and I heard what was like a shrill, resident Donetta Contreras said, adding that the person had sounded 'hurt'.

Message board site Reddit has apologized to its users after many of its most popular subsections were taken down in a 'revolt' over an employee's firing. Volunteer moderators who work with paid administrators to run the site's discussion threads turned many of the 'subreddits' dark after the Thursday dismissal of communications director Victoria Taylor. She is best known for running the website's popular 'Ask Me Anything' interviews, where celebrities take part in question and answer sessions with the site's users.

William and Kate have applied for planning permission to demolish an existing court at their Norfolk home (top right) and build a new one with an artificial grass surface just a court's width further to the right (plan pictured bottom right). The Duchess, pictured left at Wimbledon last year, is known to be an avid tennis fan, but the application says moving the court will 'improve the views' from the hall. The new, state-of-the-art court is part of a wider overhaul of the grounds at Anmer Hall, which include more trees for privacy and new vegetable and fruit gardens.

Patrick Thornton, 47, was in the water with his eight-year-old son in the Outer Banks. A shark attacked and bit him on the ankle and then latched onto his back. He lost ten inches of skin above his ankle and suffered deep puncture wounds. At least seven people have now been attacked by sharks in North Carolina. There have been at least two shark attacks off the South Carolina coast this year. The seven North Carolina shark attacks are the most recorded in one year in almost eight decades.

A man from New Zealand has dedicated four years of his life to carefully training tree branches so he construct an enchanting church made completely from living trees. Using his trademark Tree Spade, Barry Cox, who once aspired to be the Pope, was able to relocate a variety of mature trees to create a unique and structurally complex church on his 1.2 hectare property near Cambridge, located on New Zealand's north island. After spending several years of his youth on the back of a motorcycle, exploring Europe and America, Mr Cox developed a deep appreciation for church architecture. Drawing on that passion, the tree specialist decided that he would try his hand at creating a structure with 'distinctly different' plants that would highlight the vast proportions of his unorthodox church, echoing a style common in masonry churches.

Dramatic footage has captured the moment a television news crew in a helicopter swooped down on a group of surfers to warn them a massive great white shark was circling just metres from them. Helicopters spotted the four-metre killing machine emerge in the shallows off Wategos Beach at the iconic Byron Bay about 1:30pm on Saturday. The shark was headed 'straight for kids on their boards' before the alarm was raised. The sighting continues a shark spree along the NSW coast, after a monster shark mauled a man in Ballina and a surfer was knocked from his board in Lennox Head just days before the latest incident.

The blonde posted a photograph of the pair after Caroline Wozniacki, right, cruised into the fourth round of Wimbledon by beating Camila Giorgi 6-2, 6-2 on Saturday. Lindsey Vonn, left, an Olympic skier and Wozniacki may have bonded over their personal lives as each have faced a difficult time of late.

A man was killed early Friday when an alligator attacked him during a late-night swim at a Southeast Texas marina, according to police. Orange police Capt. Robert Enmon said Tommie Woodward, left, suffered severe trauma to a limb when he was attacked early Friday morning at the private marina, which is along a bayou extending from the Sabine River near the Louisiana line. Orange County sheriff's deputies and a Texas game warden found his body nearby about two hours later. The owners of the marina recently had spotted a large alligator on a few occasions, and put up a sign warning people to stay out of the water, Enmon said. They estimated that animal was longer than 11 feet.

A four-year-old girl whose body washed up on the shores of Boston Harbor was probably killed by a family member, according to a criminal expert. The girl - whose identity is a mystery - was found in a trash bag wearing a zebra-patterned blanket and polka dot pants on June 25. Her tiny, lifeless body was uncovered by a dog walking at Deer Island, which juts out into Massachusetts Bay just beyond Logan International Airport.

Melissa Berkelhammer (in a 2014 picture at right) and her mother JoEllen were forced out of the the Fifth Avenue apartment of her former friend Julianne Di Palma (at far left with Melissa Berkelhammer in happier times) on June 24.

These sprawling residences (left, top right and bottom right), in Los Angeles's upscale Beverly Hills and Bel Air neighborhoods, have sparked outrage among wealthy residents, including 46-year-old actress Jennifer Aniston (inset). The locals claim that the giga-mansions are creating noise in the area, invading their privacy, and endangering their homes by destabilizing the hillside. They have been complaining to city officials - and have even set up a homeowners' alliance - in a bid to put a stop to the ostentatious developments. Aniston told officers that the 'very idea that a building of 90,000 square feet can be called a home' seems 'at the least a significant distortion of building code'.

The World Heritage Committee unanimously approved the addition of China's Tusi sites - which mark the remains of an ancient political system - to their World Heritage List. Such an inscription formally recognises the 'universal value' of the three sites, particularly due to the insight that they provide into Chinese Tusi culture.

Several couples have claimed that they were the sailor and nurse shown passionately embracing (left) as the news broke of the end of the Second World War after Japan's surrender in August 1945. But astronomers who used shadows in the image to pin down a time of the kiss to 5:51pm have poked holes in longstanding claims, including those of (top to bottom) Edith Shain, George Mendonsa, Carl Muscarello and Glenn McDuffie.

The late actor remembered his womanising, wild partying and outrageous upbringing with a raffish laugh, right up to his death last month at his California ranch, aged 93. His life - from childhood in a lesbian harem and expulsion from Eton for peddling pornography, to television superstardom - was one fully lived, but perhaps not to the English gent blueprint.

Erica Kalnins, a 31-year-old mom of two daughters, was shopping in an Icing accessories shop in Tampa, Florida with her five-year-old on her back in a baby carrier when store manager Mindy Domingo decided to take a photo of her, later posting it to Facebook calling her 'f***ing stupid.'

These amazing pictures give a rare insight into the incredible world of highlining which is incredible to watch but often takes part in beautiful but remote locations around the world. Nathan Paulin, pictured, the world record holder, is shown here walking across a line which is nearly half a km above the ground. And the lines are slack, which means they shake from side to side as they walk.

Multi-talented seven-year-old, Jordan Bijan from Brampton, Ontario, has been captured showing off his musical prowess in an incredible video posted online. In the clip the youngster plays eight instruments - including the tea pot and the coconut - and harmonises with himself.

Couples from around the world travelled to Sonkajarvi, Finland, braving jumps, water and the possibility of being dropped as they battled it out to be crowned 2015's winners. Rules include a minimum age and weight for the wife, but she doesn't necessarily need to be yours. And it is by no means a walk in the park, if the face of this year's winning carrier Ville Parviainen (bottom right) is anything to go by.
