Bobbi Kristina Brown’s death may have been a suicide, attorneys for her boyfriend said as they argued that authorities should close the case and move on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“Frankly, the right thing for the district attorney’s office to do right now is to tell the public the truth … that this was an accident… or even a suicide, but not a murder,” Nick Gordon’s lawyers said in a written statement released Tuesday. “And the right thing for everyone to do is let Nick live his life now and let Bobbi Kristina rest in peace.”<\/p>\n
Emergency crews found Brown, the daughter of pop icon Whitney Houston and singer Bobby Brown, unresponsive in her suburban Atlanta home in January 2015. She died at a hospice in July at age 22, having never regained consciousness.<\/p>\n
The statement from attorneys Joe Habachy and Jose Baez comes days after a judge unsealed Brown’s autopsy.<\/p>\n
In the report, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office said it could not say whether Brown’s 2015 death was an accident -or something else.<\/p>\n
Officials said drug intoxication and immersion in a bathtub of water led to Brown’s death months later from pneumonia and brain damage<\/p>\n
Her estate has filed a $10 million wrongful death lawsuit against Gordon, alleging he beat her after an all-night “cocaine and drinking binge.” He then gave her a “toxic cocktail” that knocked her out, according to the suit.<\/p>\n
Gordon has not been charged. His legal team has described the lawsuit as “slanderous and meritless.”<\/p>\n
