Bobbi Kristina not taken off ventilator, says representative
Atlanta, Feb 11
Reports that the daughter
of late singer Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina Brown, will be taken off
life support "are false", according to the family lawyer and
spokesperson Christopher Brown.
Brown released a statement
Tuesday calling the reports "offensive" and warned that he would deal
with the media "at the appropriate time".
"The false reports that
continue to appear in print and on the Internet are egregious, false
and will be dealt with at an appropriate time... The desire to be first
has clouded the judgement of many reporters as they forgo accuracy. This
is a criminal investigation and the integrity of that process requires
silence," said the lawyer.
Hundreds of people gathered in a
church here Monday night to pray for the 21-year-old, who has been
hospitalised in an induced coma since Jan 31.
That night she was found unconscious in the bathtub by her beau Nick Gordon, 25, and his friend Maxwell Lomas, 24.
According
to the local media, the incident is under investigation by authorities,
focusing on Gordon, who has a history of domestic violence.
Several
local media outlets have reported Bobbi Kristina having several
injuries on her face and mouth, pointing to a possible altercation
between the couple.
Although Bobbi Kristina had publicly declared
she was married to Nick Gordon, her father's lawyer said this week that
the two never wed.
She and her boyfriend have lived together since Houston decided to take in Gordon when he was a 12-year-old orphan.

Kristina is the only child of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston, who died
in February 2012 at the age of 48, drowning in the bathtub of a hotel
in Beverly Hills after years of struggling with various addictions.
