The death of Bobbi Kristina is no longer viewed as accident as the late Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend, Nick Gordon may still be charged for murder.
According to Daily Mail, a secret grand Jury is due to convene with the intent of charging Nick Gordon for the death of Bobbi Kristina.
Reports suggest that the secret grand jury is due to be convened by a district attorney judge in Georgia with the intent of charging the 25-year-old for the death of Whitney Houston’s daughter.
Miss Brown died on July 26 at the Peachtree Christian Hospice, Duluth, Georgia, after she was found unconscious in a bathtub at her Atlanta home on January 31.
She was put in a medically-induced coma before she passed away six months later.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office told US Weekly that the cause of Brown’s death had been officially determined, but the findings were ordered to remain private by a judge.
The magazine reports that the judge does not know what the charges will be yet, but they want to go for murder charges.
It also claims that Gordon will be charged with criminal charges ‘very soon’ and the judge is consulting with legal experts to see if murder charges would stick.
Last month Gordon’s conservator, Bedelia Hargrove filed a $10million lawsuit against him.
The complaint alleges that Gordon fed Bobbi Kristina Brown a ‘toxic cocktail’ then placed her face-down in a tub of cold water on the last night she was seen conscious – which he denies.
According to Hargrove, police interviews with friend Max Lomas, who was at the townhome on the day of the January 31 incident, revealed that Gordon had been ‘out all-night on a cocaine and drinking binge.’
Gordon admitted that he went out on the night in question, and ‘reviewed video footage and then had an argument with Ms. Brown and he then changed clothes’.
However, he denies all the allegations against him, including further accusations of assault, battery, causing emotional distress and stealing Miss Brown’s money.

A civil suit was filed in June and the attorney for the 22-year-old’s estate amended the complaint to include an accusation of ‘wrongful death’.
‘We will leave no stone unturned in seeking justice for Bobbi Kristina Brown,’ Hargrove said in a statement as she announced the amendments to the lawsuit.
After an interview with Dr. Phil in April, Gordon checked himself into rehab and has since been residing in Florida.
In a statement following Miss Brown’s death, Gordon’s mother Michelle, said: ‘The passing of Bobbi Kristina is devastating to Nick and our family.
‘Nick loved and cared for Krissi deeply, and he has suffered greatly each and every day they’ve been apart. Nick and our family are in mourning, and we ask that you respect our privacy.
‘Our thoughts and prayers are with both the Houstons and the Browns during this difficult time.’
