Bobbi Kristina Brown, 21, was transported to Emory University
Hospital in Atlanta on Tuesday after three days at North Fulton
Hospital in Roswell, CNN reported, citing unnamed sources close
to the family.
North Fulton confirmed that Brown was no longer at their
facility, but a spokeswoman for Emory declined to confirm that
Brown was at their center.
Brown was discovered in the bathtub on Saturday by her partner,
Nick Gordon, and a friend.
Brown and Gordon referred to each other as husband and wife and
told both traditional and social media that they were married.
But Brown's father, Bobby Brown, said in a statement on Tuesday
that the two were never legally married.
"To correct earlier reports, Bobbi Kristina is not and has never
been married to Nick Gordon," a statement issued by Bobby
Brown's attorney, Christopher Brown, said.

"We are currently investigating the events that led to the
hospitalization of Bobbi Kristina," the statement said, adding
that the family requested privacy.
Burrell, a gospel singer who was close to Houston, told the
entertainment television program on Monday that Brown's loved
ones were hoping for the best after doctors put her in a
medically induced coma.
"Her eyes did move a little bit," Burrell said in the interview.
"We're hoping that it's just not a reflex. We’re hoping that
it's a conscious choice."

Police and hospital officials have not commented on Brown's
condition or said what happened to her in the bathtub.
The circumstances are reminiscent of Houston's death nearly three
years ago. The megastar pop singer and actress drowned in a hotel
bathtub in Beverly Hills, California, on Feb. 11, 2012. Authorities
said cocaine use and heart disease contributed to the six-time
Grammy Award winner's death at age 48.
Houston won accolades for hit songs including "I Will Always Love
You" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)."
She divorced Bobby Brown in 2007 after a stormy 15-year marriage
during which both spouses struggled with substance abuse. Bobby
Brown, also a Grammy Award winner, started his career as frontman
for the R&B group New Edition.
