An injunction to delay the release of a coroner’s report involving surfing champion Andy Irons is in effect until May 20.

A civil district court judge in Tarrant County, Texas, granted on Dec. 21 a request filed on behalf of Irons’ wife, Lyndie, and their newborn son, Andy Axel Irons, to delay release of the report by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office for six months.

The request was granted the day it was filed.

Irons, a three-time world champion, died in his hotel room in Grapevine, Texas, on Nov. 2 while en route back to Hawaii after withdrawing from competition in Puerto Rico. Relatives had said Irons was suffering from dengue fever.

Investigators found two prescription medications, alprazolam and zolpidem, in his hotel room, according to a police report.

District Attorney Ashley Fourt of the Tarrant County District Attorney’s office said the medical examiner is awaiting various tests before making a final ruling on the cause and manner of Irons’ death.

In the complaint, Lyndie Irons said there are still inquiries posed to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control by the medical examiner’s office involving his death. The delay, the complaint said, will allow the CDC to complete its research so the report will be accurate.

She said her husband’s death "has been reported by various news media outlets with suggestions and innuendo of drug use." Irons’ company and brand would be tarnished if the autopsy report were released under the current intense media coverage of his death, Lyndie Irons said.

She gave birth to their son on Dec. 8 on Kauai, a month after her husband’s death.

His widow and their newborn son "are dependent on the financial well-being of a company established by the celebrity of Andy Irons," according to the complaint.
