Judge orders the autopsy of Bobbi Kristina Brown be publicly unsealed to finally reveal her official cause of death

Autopsy results for Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of singers Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, could be released on Thursday after a judge in Georgia ordered the report to be unsealed.

Bobbi Kristina Brown, 22, died in July after falling into a coma 13 months ago.

She had been found unconscious and unresponsive in a bathtub in her north Atlanta home in January 2015.

Prosecutors opposed the report's release, arguing in a court document that it would 'compromise the integrity' of an ongoing criminal investigation into the celebrity daughter's death.

New information: Prosecutors had opposed the release of Bobbi Kristina Brown's autopsy, arguing that it would 'compromise the integrity' of an ongoing criminal investigation into the celebrity daughter's death in July last year. Despite widespread speculation, charges against her boyfriend Nick Gordon have never been laid 

Last August, the conservator of Bobbi Kristina Brown's estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit accusing her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, of causing the death. 

A spokesman for Gordon called the lawsuit 'slanderous and meritless'.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Henry Newkirk told Reuters he unsealed the autopsy report on Thursday at the request of Atlanta television station WXIA and it could be made public later in the day or possibly Friday.

Newkirk said prosecutors told him the criminal probe is ongoing. 

A spokeswoman for the Fulton County District Attorney's office did not return an email or phone call requesting comment.

Lawyers for the station argued that, given the rise of heroin in Atlanta, if Bobbi Kristina had died of a heroin overdose - as some have speculated - than it was in the public's interest to know. 

Brown was an aspiring singer and the only child of the late Houston. Brown's death came three years after her Grammy-award-winning mother drowned in a bathtub in a Beverly Hills hotel. 

Cocaine abuse and heart disease contributed to Houston's death in 2012 at age 48, authorities said.

Brown fell into a deep coma after being found in her bathtub unconscious inside of her home in Georgia on January 31, 2015.

The starlet passed away months later in July and was buried in New Jersey next to her mother in August.

Her family has accused Gordon of being involved with her shocking death and claim that he gave her a 'toxic cocktail' that made her loose consciousness the day she was found.

Her conservator filed a $10million wrongful death lawsuit against Gordon last year. His attorney called the case 'slanderous and meritless'.

The lawsuit is still pending, as her cause of death still remains unknown.

The medical examiner's office announced in September that her cause of death was placed under seal based on orders from the Fulton County Superior Court.  

Bobbi Kristina Brown's former roommate and friend, Danyela Bradley (left), claimed last year that Brown smoked crack and did heroin, in addition to smoking marijuana 

Following her death, Brown's roommate, Danyela Bradley, claimed that Brown smoked crack and did heroin in addition to smoking marijuana.

In the deposition taken in connection to a car accident involving Bradley and Brown on January 27, the friend claims Brown 'smoked marijuana, she probably smoked crack often and also did heroin'. 

According to Radar Online, the new allegations were made in a lawsuit filed by Russell J. Eckerman, who was reportedly injured in the crash - which took place only four days before Brown was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub at her home on the morning of January 31.

In the papers, Bradley said she met Brown through the aspiring singer's boyfriend, Nick Gordon, and his friend Max Lomas.

She said that all four of them lived together in Brown and Gordon's Georgia townhouse from January 2015 through Brown's hospitalization, US Magazine reported.

According to the transcript, Bradley claimed that all four of the roommates were known to consume marijuana, noting that during one incident up to a gram in one night was consumed, according to Radar Online.

On January 2, Nick Gordon posted some never-before-seen photos of himself with Bobbi Kristina,  with one showing him lifting Brown up into the air while she wraps her arms around him

While Bradley said she would occasionally smoke marijuana with Brown, she said she never did the harder drugs, according to US Magazine.

Bradley also claimed in the papers that Brown never talked about nor did the heroin or cocaine in front of her, US Magazine reported.

'I would just visually see her physical being and I could just tell,' Bradley said of Brown. 

'When she would do the heroin she'd just be very sleepy, nod off, and very less talkative, kind of keep to herself,' Bradley said.

'When she would smoke crack, she would just be not even talkative. She'd just be keeping to herself as well.'

Bradley alleged Gordon smoked crack more than Brown and claimed Brown 'would do [crack] like once or twice every two weeks.'

The former roommate said that she was not initially aware that Brown had a problem until after living with her for a few weeks.

'When I had first lived with her, I didn't know that she actually had a problem with it until I had lived with her afterwards for a couple of weeks,' Bradley said in the deposition.

'After a few weeks she just didn't really hide it.'

When describing their friendship, Bradley said she 'became very, very close' with Brown.

'Our relationship just grew as if we had [grown] into sisters up until her passing,' Bradley said.

And when asked about Brown and Gordon's relationship, she said the couple 'had a very happy, loving relationship.'

She even claimed that Gordon occasionally referred to himself as Brown's 'husband', even though to her knowledge they were not legally married, US Magazine reported.

Earlier this month, Gordon was accused of injecting Brown with a toxic mixture of drugs before her death, court documents filed in Georgia by attorneys representing Brown's estate claim.

Amid rumors that Gordon's arrest on murder charges is imminent, the documents - filed in Fulton County - claimed that Gordon had a 'violent altercation' with Brown, 'after which he placed her in the bathtub unconscious, after he injected her with a toxic mixture'.

The documents also stated that Brown died 'after a particularly violent altercation with the Defendant which left her battered and bruised, with a tooth knocked out', WSB-TV reported.
