The estate of Bobbi Kristina Brown, who died in July at age 22, filed a wrongful death lawsuit Friday alleging her boyfriend Nick Gordon is responsible for the injuries that led to her death, CNN reports. The lawsuit alleges Gordon beat the only child of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston in January and then gave her a "toxic cocktail" to knock her out.

Brown was hospitalized and put in a medically induced coma after being found face-down in a bathtub.
