Bobbi Kristina Brown — the daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown — died of "drug intoxication" and "immersion of face in water," the Fulton County, Georgia, medical examiner said Friday.

"The drugs involved included marijuana, alcohol (ethanol), benzoylecgonine (a cocaine-related substance), benzodiazepines (medications used for sedation or to treat anxiety), and morphine," the medical examiner said. "It could not be determined from toxicology tests whether the morphine resulted from heroin use."

It's unclear if death was accidental or intentional, the report said. It was not from natural causes.

Bobbi Kristina was found unconscious Jan. 31, 2015 in the bathtub of her Georgia townhouse. She died six months later July 26 at a hospice surrounded by family at the age of 23.

Her autopsy was completed in September, but the Fulton County District Attorney and Roswell Police Department obtained a court order sealing the results until now. The records were unsealed after WIXA-TV filed a court motion demanding that the results be unsealed, arguing that not doing so would be a violation of the First Amendment.

Prosecutors argued that it was not in the public interest of public safety to release the records, contending they contained information not privy to everyone. In signing the order to seal in September 2015, Judge Henry M. Newkirk apparent concerns among authorities that making the details public prompt a potential suspect to flee. But on Thursday, Newkirk decided to release the records.

The investigation into Bobbi Kristina’s death, meanwhile, remains ongoing. And her family has filed a $40-million lawsuit against her former boyfriend, Nick Gordon, accusing him of injecting her with a toxic substance that killed her. The lawsuit was filed last year by Bedelia Hargrove, the court-appointed conservator of the late Whitney Houston’s only daughter.

The townhome where Bobbi Kristina was found is also still on the market for $469,000.
