An attorney for her father Bobby Brown confirmed that there is a criminal investigation into what happened to Bobbi Kristina and in a statement said that the "egregious" and "false" false reporting of various media outlets in their coverage of Bobbi Kristina's medical condition "will be dealt with".

Christopher Brown of Brown & Rosen LLC said in the statement, "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.

"In particular, the false reporting of TMZ, The National Enquirer, The Atlanta Journal Constitution and the Daily Mail (UK) citing police sources, family sources and Bobby Brown himself, will receive my attention.

"The desire to be 'first' has clouded the judgment of many reporters as they forgo accuracy. This is a criminal investigation and the integrity of that process requires silence."
