Just over a year after Bobbi Kristina Brown died at the age of 22, a
judge has ruled her boyfriend Nick Gordon is
civilly liable in her death, Brown's estate attorney said Friday.
Because Gordon has failed to appear twice, the
judge said anything alleged by the plaintiff is admitted through omission.
The judge will now determine the amount of
damages to be awarded to Brown's estate. The suit asked for $50 million.
"I am pleased with the outcome of today's court
proceedings. All I ever wanted was answers relating to who and what caused my
daughter's death," her father Bobby Brown says. "Today's
judgment tells me it was Nick Gordon. Now I need to process all the emotions I
have and lean on God to get me and my family through this."
