Nick Gordon, the ex-boyfriend of Bobby Kristina, who was found liable in the death of his ex-partner Bobbi Kristina Brown, has died. He was 30.
Gordon’s death comes nearly five years after Brown, the daughter of singers Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in January 2015. The 22-year-old died after six months in a coma.
Investigators showed through the autopsy that Bobbi Kristina had morphine, cocaine, alcohol and prescription drugs in her body, but the medical examiner couldn’t determine if she killed herself, if someone else killed her or if her death was accidental.
According to TMZ.com, Nick Gordon had some sort of black fluid foaming out of his mouth when someone called 911 and he wasn’t breathing.
TMZ has obtained the Florida dispatch audio and it raises questions about the cause of death.
The 911 call came in as “cardiac respiratory” on New Year’s Day. As we reported, Nick was rushed to the hospital where he died.
A man claiming to be Nick’s brother said Nick died of an apparent OD. Black discharge is sometimes related to a “foam cone” that comes out of the mouth and nostrils after an opioid OD.
Gordon’s lawyer Joe Habachy did not give a cause of death or say where it occurred. But he said in a statement: “It’s been truly heartbreaking to have witnessed first hand the total devastation that drug addiction has wreaked upon a group of young friends, all of whom were loved and had immense potential.”
Gordon was never charged in the case, but he was found responsible in a wrongful-death lawsuit. An Atlanta judge ordered him to pay $36 Million to Brown’s estate.
Houston brought Gordon into her household as an orphan at the age of 12, raising him and…… her daughter after divorcing Bobby Brown in 2007.
Yet, it wasn’t until after Houston’s death that Gordon and Bobbi Kristina went public with their romance.
Gordon then started wearing a large tattoo of Houston’s face on his arm and called the singer “mom”, but the legendary music superstar never fully adopted him or included him in her will. Houston died in 2012 after she drowned in a bathtub. Coroner’s officials ruled Houston’s death accidental and said heart disease and cocaine were contributing factors.
