Nick Gordon was ordered to pay Bobbi Kristina Brown's estate $36 million after he was found legally responsible for causing her death in a civil trial, an attorney for the family said Thursday.
Gordon was found legally responsible for the death of Whitney Houston and Bobbi Brown’s daughter in September after he failed to comply with court orders in a civil lawsuit filed against him. Her estate filed a $40-million wrongful death lawsuit against him October 2015 six months after her death.
Gordon was sued for allegedly causing Brown’s death by injecting her with “a toxic cocktail rendering her unconscious and then putting her face down in a tub of cold water causing her to suffer brain damage” after a violent fight, according to the complaint.
Brown was found unconscious Jan. 31, 2015, in the bathtub of her Georgia townhouse. She died six months later at a hospice surrounded by family at the age of 22.
In March, officials determined the cause of death for Whitney Houston and Bobbi Brown’s daughter was “immersion associated with drug intoxication.” However, the medical examiner was unable to conclude whether her death was intentional or accidental, and ultimately classified the manner of death as “undetermined.”
A criminal investigation into the death remains ongoing.
