The 21-year-old was found in a bathtub last month, but no decisions have been made to take her off life support, US Media reports said on Thursday.

Reports are that Brown’s condition has not changed but removing the breathing tube was a standard course of practice to avoid infection.

Family members have reportedly said that Brown, the only child of singers Bobby Brown and Houston, is fighting for her life at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta after she was discovered on January 31 face down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban home.
