The circumstances that led to Bobbi Kristina Brown’s death remained under investigation Monday, the Fulton County District Attorney and Roswell police said.

“Nothing has changed on our end,” Officer Lisa Holland told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The daughter of the late Whitney Houston and entertainer Bobby Brown died Sunday, nearly six months after she was found unresponsive in the bathtub of her Roswell townhouse. Bobbi Kristina was 22.

On Jan. 31, police and paramedics were called to the townhouse where Bobbi Kristina lived with her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, after Gordon and a friend allegedly found her unconscious in the bathtub.

No criminal charges have been filed in the case. But Gordon and the Brown and Houston families have been in a public dispute since the incident, with Bobbi Kristina’s family denying Gordon the opportunity to visit her. While she was hospitalized, her count-appointed representative sued Gordon, alleging physical violence and financial impropriety.

Fulton DA Paul Howard previously said his office was also investigating the circumstances surrounding Bobbi Kristina’s injuries. The investigation continued Monday, a spokeswoman for the DA said.

An autopsy was conducted Monday, but found no obvious cause of her death, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office said. Lab testing, including toxicology reports, could take several weeks to complete, the ME’s office said.
