A request has been filed in federal court in Texas on behalf of the widow of surfing champion Andy Irons to delay for six months the release of her husband’s coroner’s report, according to Courthouse News Service.

Lyndie Irons said the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office is about to release its coroner’s report on her late husband despite the fact that additional inquiries about Irons’ death have been raised to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Family members had said he was suffering from dengue fever and was on his way home to Kauai when he died.

The legal complaint reported by the news service states that because of Irons’ celebrity status, “his death has been reported by various news media outlets with the suggestions and innuendo of drug use.”

Lyndie Irons said the branding of her husband’s company will be “immediately, irreparably and severely tarnished if the official autopsy report is released at this time, when the coverage of this event by the press is at a frenzy.” She and their newborn son, Andy Axel Irons, are financially dependant on Irons’ company.

Irons, 32, three-time world champion, was discovered dead Nov. 2 at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport’s Grand Hyatt Hotel in Grapevine, Texas. The cause of his death is under investigation.
