The ruling finding Nick Gordon legally responsible in the death of Bobbi Kristina Brown emanates from a civil suit, not criminal proceedings. But the criminal investigation continues, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said Friday afternoon.

“As we have stated on numerous occasions and we will repeat again today, this case remains under active investigation by our office," Howard said in a statement sent to the AJC. "Our investigation will encompass all relevant facts and circumstances, including the body and content of the civil action holding Nick Gordon civilly responsible for the death of Bobbi Kristina Brown.”
Gordon’s representatives have not yet responded to a request for comment, although his legal team has previously blasted the civil suit filed against him by Brown’s estate.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge T. Jackson Bedford ruled today in a $50 million wrongful death civil case that Gordon was “legally responsible” for Bobbi Kristina's death last year.
