The cause of the death of Nick Gordon, the former boyfriend of deceased music icon Whitney Houston's late daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, has been revealed. According to TMZ, his toxicology and autopsy show that he died of a heroin overdose. Also in his system was Narcan, a drug to counteract the effect of an overdose. In his final few years, Gordon faced a wrongful death civil lawsuit in the death of Bobbi Kristina, who was 22. Her estate accused Gordon of having given her a “toxic cocktail rendering her unconscious” and then positioning her face-down in a bathtub on Jan. 30, 2015, according to the Los Angeles Times. She was taken to the hospital and died six months later, without ever regaining consciousness. Gordon was found liable after he failed to appear at two hearings, and he was ordered to pay $36 million.
