Just after the public release of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s autopsy report, attorneys representing her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, claim that he tried to save her life and that there is a smear campaign to ruin his reputation.
On March 4, the Fulton County, Georgia Medical Examiner’s office made the autopsy public, revealing that the cause of death was “immersion associated with drug intoxication.” The report did not say that the investigation into the exact events that lead to her death is closed. Gordon has not faced criminal charges.
Hours later, there were reports that Gordon felt vindicated because the report contradicts claims made by the Brown family in their $10 million wrongful death lawsuit against him.
Now, in their formal response to the release of the documents, attorneys Jose Baez and Joe Habachy said that Gordon “tried to save Bobbi Kristina’s life.”
“Nick Gordon's life has been tumultuous since January of 2015 when he lost the love of his life,” the attorneys wrote. “On top of being prohibited from visiting Bobbi Kristina at the hospital for the last six months of her life, Nick has been publicly humiliated for more than a year. And throughout that time, the Fulton County District Attorney's office has tried to make Nick a murderer despite having clear and convincing evidence that Bobbi Kristina's death was nothing more than a tragic accident.”
The attorneys said that Gordon has been cooperative with police, adding that “no one loved Bobbi Kristina more than Nick and no one has suffered more as a result of her death than Nick.”
Bobbi Kristina Brown died in July 2015 at age 22, after being in a coma since January 2015. She was found in a bathtub, just like her mother, Whitney Houston, who died at age 48.
