Bobbi Kristina’s ex-boyfriend Nick Gordon to pay over wrongful death
LAWYERS for Bobbi Kristina Brown’s estate say a judge in Atlanta has ordered her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, to pay US$36 million (AU$49 million) in a wrongful death case.
Brown, the daughter of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston, was found facedown and unresponsive in a bathtub in her Atlanta townhome in January 2015.
She was in a coma for six months before dying in hospice care at age 22.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge T. Jackson Bedford ruled in September that Gordon repeatedly failed to meet court deadlines in the case.
His order said that meant the conservator of her estate wins by default.
The estate’s lawyers said in an emailed statement that Bedford awarded damages of US$36,250,000 (AU$49 million).
Gordon wasn’t in court for the hearing. He hasn’t been criminally charged over Brown’s death.
