Bobbi Kristina Brown’s family has reportedly given the order to disconnect her from life support on Wednesday, February 11, on the third anniversary of Whitney Houston’s death.
Gossip website TMZ.com, citing “a source connected with Houston’s family,” said the decision was made February 8.
Some media reports have speculated that Bobbi Kristina Brown’s grandmother, Cissy Houston, had deemed the anniversary date appropriate.
However, a Houston family source told Us Weekly that Bobbi Kristina Brown will not be taken off life support on February 11.

Bobby Brown is insisting that doctors at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta keep his comatose daughter Bobbi Kristina on life support, believing that a miracle can save her, TMZ reports.
Bobbi Kristina Brown, 21, has been in a medically induced coma since she was found submerged in a bathtub in her home on January 31.
But doctors have reportedly told the family there’s nothing more they can do to save Whitney Houston’s daughter.
However, Bobby Brown, 46, was refusing to say farewell to his stricken daughter and was praying for divine intervention, the gossip website said.
Meanwhile family sources told TMZ he could change his mind, but simply wasn’t able to handle making such a tragic decision on his birthday, which was on February 5.
Bobbi Kristina Brown’s cousin Jerod Brown said in an Instagram post that things did not look optimistic.
“Though it seems the odds are against her, though doctors don’t see any hope for change … though it looks impossible for her to stand again STILL PRAY FOR BK,” Jerod Brown said on Instagram, where he posts as yfkennedy.
The painful ordeal involving his only daughter with late pop diva Whitney Houston unfolded against another bit of news for Bobby Brown; his wife, Alicia Etheridge, is four months pregnant.
Bobby Brown and Alicia Etheridge already has one son together, 5-year-old Cassius.
According to E!, Brown and some 20 family members took a brief break from the vigil they were holding at Emory University Hospital on Thursday night to celebrate his birthday and the pregnancy at a nearby restaurant.
