Nick Gordon has died of an apparent drug overdose.
The 30-year-old best known for his relationship with the late Bobbi Kristina Brown reportedly died in Florida on New Year’s Day.
Gordon’s brother, Jack Walker, Jr. confirmed the news on Wednesday.
“We are devastated by the loss of my beautiful brother,” Walker Jr. told 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.”

Sources told The Daily Mail he suffered several heart attacks before being rushed to Altamonte Springs Hospital where he was treated in the ICU before he died.
The news comes three years after Gordon was found liable for Brown’s untimely death in a wrongful death suit and ordered to pay her estate $36 million. The daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown was found unresponsive and unconscious in a bathtub at the townhouse she shared with Gordon.
His brother shared his sorrow in a series of social media posts.
“GOD WHY I DID I HAVE TO LOSE MY BROTHER ON NEW YEARS,” he wrote. “All I can do is cry.”
