Florida-based singer Nick Gordon, ex-lover of Bobbi Kristina Brown, has died at the age of 30 in a Florida hospital.
According to reports, Gordon suffered multiple heart attacks after being rushed to the hospital during New Year's celebrations.
His death comes three years after the passing of his ex-girlfriend Bobbi Kristina Brown, who died in January 2015.
Confirming his death, Gordon's attorney Joe Habachy revealed that it was heartbreaking to witness the devastation caused by drug addiction.
However, Habachy declined to state the actual cause of Gordon's death.
On January 1, 2020, Gordon was pronounced dead after doctors in the hospital were unable to revive him.
As reported by CNN, Gordon was taken in by celebrated US singer Whitney Houston while he was 12 and grew alongside her daughter Kristina.
The two became romantically involved in 2012 after Houston's death.
Later in 2015, Gordon was implicated in Bobbi Kristina's death, who was found unresponsive in a bathtub and remained in a coma for six months.
"My heart is heavy today after learning that my long time client Nick Gordon died," said Habachy. "I cannot speak to the specific circumstances of his death, I can say it's been truly heartbreaking to have witnessed first hand the total devastation that drug addiction has wreaked upon a group of young friends," he added.
Junior Walker, Gordon's brother, also confirmed his death in a Facebook post, expressing regret and wishing that their new year would have started on a better note.
