Bobbi Kristina Brown's death: One year later

Tuesday marked the one-year anniversary of the day Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, died.

Bobbi Kristina Brown died one year ago today.

The 22-year-old had been found unconscious, facedown in a bathtub in her home in Roswell, Ga., the previous January, and remained in a coma for seven months. The world was transfixed by the tragic tale, as Brown's end mirrored her mother's haunting death in February 2012, when the singer drowned in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Since Brown's death, the public has parsed the details that have emerged.

What did she officially die of?

A Georgia medical examiner said that Brown's death was not natural, and was a result of immersion in water and a drug mixture.

Ex-roomie: Bobbi Kristina 'probably' smoked crack

Last October, Brown's roommate, Danyela D. Bradley, said in a deposition that Brown used marijuana and may have used crack cocaine and heroin in the days before she was found unconscious.

The autopsy, unsealed in March, found that multiple drugs were involved, including "marijuana, alcohol (ethanol), benzoylecgonine (a cocaine-related substance), benzodiazepines (medications used for sedation or to treat anxiety) and morphine," according to the report.  The document also said it could not be determined from toxicology tests whether the morphine resulted from heroin use.

How responsible was her ex-boyfriend, Nick Gordon? 

A year later, no charges have been filed against anyone in connection with the death, but Brown's family has said they believe Gordon had something to do with it.

"I don't know what happened that night, but he does," Brown told ABC News' Robin Roberts in June, refusing to say the name of his daughter's boyfriend whom he and the administrator of his daughter's estate have sued for wrongful death.

Documents: Nick Gordon injected Bobbi Kristina with toxic mixture

Gordon's legal team called the suit, which sought $10 million apiece for charges of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and conversion,  "slanderous and meritless" and have sought to have it dismissed.

Gordon has still not been indicted on any criminal charges. "Right now, the case is still under investigation," says Dontaye Carter, director of public affairs for the Fulton County District Attorney's Office. He would not comment on whether there would be charges brought against Gordon.

Will charges be brought?

In March of this year, lawyers for Gordon asked the district attorney's office to drop their criminal investigation of him, citing the unsealed autopsy report in which the medical examiner's office said it could not conclusively determine whether or not her death, while unnatural, was accidental or intentional.

Gordon has maintained he had nothing to do with Bobbi Kristina's death. He returned to Dr. Phil in April, a year after storming out on the show. “Regardless of what everybody thinks," Gordon said, "I made Krissy and Whitney’s last few years on earth as happy as they would be. I gave them somebody to trust, to talk to, to be there — someone genuine.”

Medical examiner: We know how Bobbi Kristina died

Then in July, Brown's roommate Max Lomas, who found her unresponsive in the bathtub, said he witnessed Brown and Gordon fighting the night of her death. When he found her, "I saw her there, and I picked her up out of the water and laid her on the ground," he told People Magazine. "I saw the color of her face and that she wasn't breathing. I called for Nick and called 911." Lomas added that Gordon performed CPR, which resulted in Brown expelling water twice.

So here we are a year later — and with little more than an autopsy and scattered accounts to go on, the circumstances behind Brown's death remain a tragic mystery. She lies buried next to her mother at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, N.J.
