Jack Walker Jr., the brother to Nick confirmed the sad news, adding that Gordon died Wednesday in Florida following a drug overdose.
“We are devastated by the loss of my beautiful brother,” Walker Jr. tells PEOPLE in a statement. “He leaves a void in the hearts of my family and his friends. Nick’s battle in life was not an easy one. I will be forever grateful that my God afforded a small moment at the very end of Nick’s life, and I was able to hold his hand as he journeyed on.”
Gordon’s lawyer, Joe S. Habachy also told PEOPLE that; “My heart is heavy today after learning that my long-time client Nick Gordon died at the young age of thirty.
“While I cannot speak to the specific circumstances of his death, I can say that it’s been truly heartbreaking to have witnessed first hand the total devastation that drug addiction has wreaked upon a group of young friends, all of whom were loved and had immense potential.
“Despite all of the incredible challenges Nick faced over the last few years I can honestly say that he worked hard to hold his head up and stay sober and that he genuinely wanted a happy healthy life with his family more than anything else,” Habachy continues. “My heart goes out to the family and friends Nick leaves behind and to any other families dealing with the losses and heartache caused by drugs.”
Gordon reportedly suffered a number of heart attacks on New Year’s Day and was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit at Altamonte Springs Hospital, where he eventually died.
His sudden death is coming three years after he was found liable in the wrongful death of Whitney Houston‘s daughter, Bobbi Kristina.
Bobbi, 22, was found unconscious and unresponsive with drugs in her system in the bathtub of the Georgia house she shared with Gordon in early 2015.

ReplyDeleteFamily brand.
DeletePoetic Justice!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy dear eeeeh, hmmmmmm! Life!
DeleteThe horrible thing is that as we are here trying to make sense of this young man's death, thousands of not millions of persons are somewhere shooting up, sniffing, drinking cocktail of substances and concotions like hell!
Lord have mercy oh!
Lord have mercy!
This thing taya me oh. Young people dying of drug abuse all around!
DeleteExceptional mum loud it. U cant begin to imagine wat these young ones get high on.
Deletehmm similar death pattern Whitney,her daughter,her daughter's boyfriend
ReplyDeleteEven the guy that discovered Whitney daughter in the bathtub died too, drug overdose
DeleteWhen they will not leave drugs alone...
DeleteAnon 11:23 you think it’s easy to leave something so addictive! It takes a strong willed person and the grace to God to break free from addiction.
DeleteVery horrible pattern!
DeleteSheyyy akufa ni ka pe eleyi bayi ****
DeleteI'm suspecting that a group of people or cult is responsible for this people's deaths. They inject drug these people's system to kill them.
ReplyDeleteThis is new year. Use your head more.
DeleteWhich cult, you dey see junkies , it's a typical pattern of what drug addiction can do
Delete10:48 if you stay in the USA you will learn conspiracy theory.Does it make sense to you? Mother,daughter,boyfriend all died same way use your head.
Delete10:40 there's sense in what you are saying.
God bless your brain @anon 10:40, so many people have eyes and brains but never use them. Mother dies, daughter dies, boyfriend of daughter dies, all drug related deaths and you think the circumstances are not suspicious. Please let's use our heads more like anon 10:40, it's a new year.
DeleteAnon 11:29, these people were clearly drug addicts who struggled with their addictions. Even family and lawyer and the dead knew the struggle.
DeleteAnon 12.34 it is a new year. Please use your brain or at least do some research.
DeleteMother, daughter and son/boyfriend are all aware of the dealing that led to their untimely death and it certainly is not drugs that killed all 3 people
Please ignore people who believe everything the press puts. They cannot think.
DeleteI usually don’t believe conspiracy theories but this coincidence is too much! This is too freaky!
DeleteDrugs again!!! May he rest on.
ReplyDeleteSuch a waste.
Rest In Peace Nick ☹️This is so sad. I hope the truth of y’all’s death finally comes out one day.
DeleteHmmm, what a string of events.
ReplyDeleteGeeez, what a life! This has become a sad full circle.
DeleteUsed and dumped!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! D truth is out finally! RIP to him
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder how Cissy is coping,daughter,grand daughter both dead thru drug overdose!! May we not bury our children oh
Say no to DRUGS
Aaaah, my heart goes out to her oh!
DeleteSay no to drugs oh!
RIP young man, he was truly a troubled soul. The Havocs drug cause in the lives of young people. Death sentence to all drug dealers.
ReplyDeleteI was rooting for the recovery of this guy back then. Very handsome kid who had the future ahead of him but DRUGS!!! may God have mercy on his soul and rest him. May our children bring us honor and not shame.amen
ReplyDeleteAmen ooooooooooooooh!

ReplyDeleteHaaa! Na wa o! They all died the same way.
ReplyDeleteMay God rest their souls
May his soul Rest In Peace....
ReplyDeleteYoung Man Rest In Peace...
ReplyDeleteRIP. When we fail to learn from history. We are bound to repeat the mistake of the past. Does it make sense?.Whitney Houston and her only daughter died in the same circumstance. Even Bobby Brown that introduced drugs to Whitney Houston is now living the good life.
ReplyDeletePlease,get your fact right!!
DeleteBobby Brown did nor introduce Whitney Houston to drug which everybody assumed he did because of his bad boy nature,it was actually Whitney's brother that introduced her to drugs way before She met Bobby Brown,the brother said this on Oprah's show.
Whitney introduced Bobby to hard drugs. Well known fact.
DeleteThis is just sad. What a complete waste!
ReplyDeleteMay God have mercy on his soul
ReplyDeleteBobby Brown is the genesis of all these problem, Whitney on the other hand fought with masonic people before they eventually killed her.. What a controlled world we live in
ReplyDeleteHe actually wasn't, if you u watch their story you will know she was taking it before they even met each other.
DeleteI heard Bobby has kidney issues sef.
People should just leave drug alone and kids should never start.
Dear children, never ever start.
That’s what you call signing a pact with the devil. She also signed that pact to sacrifice her daughter. They said it’s her Mum who started all this. Cissy has a lot on her head. Bobby never introduced her to hard drugs. She introduced him to it.
DeleteWhitney Houston and Cece Winans are cousins, in the same industry. Back then, people used to wonder why Cece didnt tow her cousin's path, as whitney obviously had more money and fame. And Cece has a damn good voice.
ReplyDeleteThe story today is different. Life!!
Really? Thought it was the Warwicks. De De and Dionne Warwick are cousins to Whitney through her Mum Cissy.
DeleteCece Winans was her friend. Comes from a solid and good family. The Houstons are a family of vipers.
DeleteWhen this boy was “adopted” by Whitney at the age of 12, some would have envied him and consider him lucky. Not knowing he was going to sink into a life of drugs that destroyed him, Whitney, Bobbi Kristina, even the Kemas guy. What a total wasted
ReplyDeleteHe wasn’t adopted at 12. It was 16 or 17 when he was allowed to live with them but no formal adoption.
DeleteNeither nemesis nor karma at work. This is a clear case of deliberate/intentional elimination and more will follow. Maybe the next victim would be Whitney's toyboy, he definitely knew and saw something on the day she died. Nick Gordon knew something and advanced criminals can use a pattern to eliminate, especially the target's weakness. I am beginning to pick interest in this Whitney family's death, something is fishy and puzzle may not be solved for a longtime to come. Never mess with the powers that be.

ReplyDeleteThere you go. Pat “adopted name” Houston knows where all the dead are buried. She’s the powers that be’s hatchet person. The devil does not give free gifts.
DeleteYour head dey there Pat Houston sure working with the ... Tell me about it, hmmm.
DeleteMy madam likes her weed infact na daily ritual. Even her husband no send the matter again but on top of this weed, she is making serious money every day, has her own houses and drives the best car.
ReplyDeleteSo my question is this, is it not the same drug these people are taken that she is also taken or does drugs work differently from one person to the other?
No it isn’t same drugs. Weed can also be medicinal. What these people are taking, is something worse: heroine, fentanyl or some other controlled substance. It is well with these people.
DeleteOkay.. thank you, I understand now
Delete13:17, you have eyes and can see biko. All 3 lived together at some point. This is real scary.
ReplyDeletesad end. say no to drugs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad end for these young lives. Thank God we don't have a drug culture in Nigeria.
