Bobbi Kristina Brown's life-support has been turned off, DailyMail.com has learned.
The 21-year-old daughter of Whitney Houston was found face down in a bath-tub at the Roswell, Georgia townhouse she shared with partner Nick Gordon on Saturday.
Her father Bobby Brown, whose birthday is today, is at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta hospital with friends and relatives.
'The plug on Bobbi Kristina has been pulled,' a police source with knowledge of her medical condition told DailyMail.com.
While TMZ says these claims are absolutely false:We are also told that Bobbi Kristina's grandmother Cissy has still not seen her but plans are in place to get her to Emory University Hospital as soon as possible.There's nothing more doctors can do for Bobbi Kristina -- and they've told Bobby Brown it's time to withdraw life support ... TMZ has learned.Family sources tell us the decision is now in Brown's hands -- but we're told he's refusing to make the painful choice today, and instead wants to wait until after the weekend. The timing could not have been worse. Today is Bobby Brown's birthday.We're told Brown has been hopeful his daughter can beat the odds because someone in his extended family battled out of a coma after 8 days. Bobbi Kristina was moved to Emory University Hospital Tuesday because the facility has a world class neurological department, but it appears doctors have determined there's no hope.Bobbi Kristina has been in a medically-induced coma since Saturday, when she was found face down in her bathtub.
A doctor told the family that nothing more could be done for her, People magazine reported.
'Everyone is coming to the hospital to say goodbye,' a family member told the magazine.
'Bobby has been crying nonstop since yesterday,' the source added. 'We are grieving.'
The devastating news comes as a friend of Bobbi Kristina's claimed he was the one who called 911 after finding her in the bathtub on Saturday - not her 'husband' Nick Gordon.
Max Lomas, who has previously been arrested on drug distribution charges, claims Gordon was 'elsewhere in the residence' and it was he who removed her from the tub.
Lomas' lawyer told Access Hollywood on Wednesday that it was his client 'who began the process of hopefully helping her recover.'
'Max was actually the one that found her and he's the one that removed her from bathtub and called 9-1-1, and Max is the one who began the process of hopefully helping her recover,' said Phillip Holloway.
According to Holloway, the experience was traumatic for his client.
'He was terrorized. It was absolute pure panic, and he was frightened for his friend, his close friend who was not breathing and did not appear to show any signs of life. He's petrified,' Holloway said. 'And he wanted to get her the help that she so desperately needed at the time.'
According to Holloway, Gordon arrived in the bathroom he started CPR on Bobbi Kristina as Lomas did not know how to conduct life-saving measures.
'Max assisted in the best of his ability - he's not trained in CPR – but he's the one who removed her from the bathtub and called 9-1-1,' Holloway said.
Questions still remain over what part drugs - if any - played in Saturday's incident; police reportedly found narcotics in the home during a second search last weekend.
Bobby Brown has had his own share of drug troubles, including how he admitted to using 'an awful lot' of cocaine after marrying Whitney Houston in 1992.
The death of her mother left Bobbi distraught, and this is not the first time emergency services have had to intervene.
Sadly, for Bobbi, the writing was on the wall for her following a lifetime of drug taking and personal turmoil.
Al Bowman, Houston's chauffeur who witnessed one of Bobbi's first experiences of drugs as a five-year-old has told Daily Mail Online how he feared for her growing up.
He said: 'Bobbi always wanted to be just like her mom and now it seems she may have followed in her footsteps.
'It's heart-breaking, a real tragedy. This young girl was raised in a world no child should live in.'
Bowman says he drove Houston for two decades and witnessed first hand the singer's spiral into a drug-fueled meltdown before and after her daughter was born.
He watched helplessly as Houston and husband Bobby Brown became wasted in the back almost daily.
Bowman also recalls driving Houston into rundown ghettos in Los Angeles to meet shady drug dealers so the star could score more drugs.
But when Houston's drug abuse became so severe that she openly smoked crack in front of her young daughter Bobbi, Bowman knew she had crossed a line.
'I couldn't believe it, it was heart-breaking, out of control,' he said.
'Whitney was a complete train wreck. I couldn't bear seeing her daughter sat there in amongst it all, it was so sad.
'I wanted to help her but Whitney was just too out of control and wouldn't listen to anyone.'
