The lawyer, Joe Habachy, said he could not discuss how Gordon, his long term client died.
“I can say that 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,” the Atlanta-based Habachy told AFP by email.
In November of 2016, a US judge ordered Gordon to pay more than $36 million in a wrongful death suit brought by the estate of Bobbi Kristina Brown.
In a scary repeat of her mother’s death, she was found unconscious in a bathtub at her Atlanta-area home, while Gordon and a guest were there.

Gordon spent years being raised by Houston in her home, and grew up with Kristina, although he was never formally adopted by Houston.
The lawsuit filed by Brown’s estate, said he had lashed out at her in a fit of jealousy that evening, after being “out all night on a cocaine and drinking binge.”
According to the wrongful death suit filed in Atlanta, Georgia, Gordon gave “Bobbi Kristina a toxic cocktail, rendering her unconscious and then put her face down in a tub of cold water, causing her to suffer brain damage.”
The medical examiner’s office said it was not clear if Kristina’s death was accidental or intentional.

“Despite all of the incredible challenges Nick faced over the last few years I can honestly say that he worked hard to hold his head up and stay sober and that he genuinely wanted a happy healthy life with his family more than anything else,” Habachy added.
