New court documents against Nick Gordon accuse him of allegedly injecting Bobbi Kristina Brown with a fatal "toxic mixture" which made the late Whitney Houston's daughter unconscious, according to Radar Online.
According to USA Today, the lawsuit was filed in June and amended after Brown's death on July 26 of this year. The $40 million lawsuit was filed by Brown's conservator Bedelia Hargrove. In addition to the "toxic mixture," Gordon was also accused of battery, unauthorized withdrawing money from Brown's account to his own, assault and infliction of emotional distress.
The details were stated in the new documents:
"Bobbi Kristina Brown was physically abused by the Defendant on numerous occasions and later died following a particularly violent altercation with the Defendant which left her battered and bruised, with a tooth knocked out," the suit stated.
Additionally, Hargrove's suit also accused Gordon of receiving $40,000 to be photographed by a magazine at Brown's grave shortly after her death.
Gordon has denied all allegations and in response, his team filed a stay of motion to disallow their client from participating in the civil case because it will "incriminate" Gordon.
"Any statements made by Mr. Gordon in the civil case may incriminate Mr. Gordon in a criminal investigation," said Gordon's representatives, according to the report by US Magazine. Additionally, since the cause of Bobbi Kristina's death has been sealed by a judge, Gordon has been "precluded and denied the use of exculpatory evidence that will come forward as a result of the criminal investigation."
The result of the autopsy on Brown was completed last month but the details were not released to the public.
The motion to seal Brown's autopsy results was made to protect the witnesses and to prevent the defendant from "escaping," ET Online reports. It was granted on Sept. 28.
"The criminal investigation involving possible charges in this case is ongoing, no arrests have been made, and disclosure of the autopsy report and the above mentioned information at this time would compromise the integrity of the investigation and create risk of flight of possible defendants, and could pose a danger to witnesses involved in this case," said the filing.
Brown was found unconscious in a bathtub at her home on January 31 and was put under a medically-induced coma. She passed away on July 26 at the Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, Georgia, Daily Mail reports.
