Nick Gordon has been found “legally responsible” for the death of Bobbi Kristina Brown after not showing up in court on Friday.
As you know, Bobbi Kristina was found unresponsive in the bathtub of her Georgia home in January 2015, and remained in a coma for six months. Toxicology reports showed that drugs were in her system, and she was taken off life support in July 2015.
According to local news reports, Gordon’s absence from the court’s hearing regarding the $50 million wrongful death civil suit has rendered him responsible — and now a jury will decide the damages against him later today.
