According to new reports, the 22-year-old's body was released by the Fulton County Medical Examiner earlier today and is at a funeral home awaiting burial next to her late superstar mother Whitney.
Whitney – who died in tragically similar circumstances to her daughter in 2012 at the age of 48 – was buried at the Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey.
The funeral is expected to take place on August 1 at St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Georgia before her body is flown back to New Jersey to be buried the following day.
Following an initial autopsy yesterday, a medical examiner found "no significant injuries" and "no obvious underlying cause of death".

The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office said in a statement they would be looking into the cause and manner of Bobbi's death six months after she was found unresponsive in a bath tub in her Georgia home on January 31.
The reality TV star had been in a medically-induced coma, but she passed away at Peachtree Christian Hospice which she was transferred to on June 24.
Her grieving father Bobby Brown, 46, spoke of his "unimaginable" loss in a statement released to Us Weekly yesterday through his lawyer, Christopher Brown.
"Yesterday Bobbi Kristina Brown took her place in heaven," the R&B musician said. "Krissy fought to get well for months, however she has succumbed to her injuries."

"Krissy was and is an angel," Bobby continued. "I am completely numb at this time. My family must find a way to live with her in spirit and honour her memory. Our loss is unimaginable."
"We thank everyone for the prayers for Krissy and our family as we mourn my baby girl," he added.
Now that Bobbi has passed away, the simmering battle over Whitney's fortune is set to explode as the aspiring singer was the sole heiress of her mother's £12million wealth – amassed by such hits as I Will Always Love You, I Wanna Dance With Somebody, and Didn’t We Almost Have It All.
Bobbi only received part of her mother's fortune at the age of 18 and a second instalment at 21.
The rest was due on her 30th birthday.
