The Medical Examiner’s report on Stepho added, “This 22-year-old Asian man with a history of illicit drug abuse was found unresponsive in his home. He was transported to North Fulton Hospital where despite resuscitative efforts, he was pronounced dead eight minutes after arrival.”
Ahead of his passing, Stepho told RadarOnline.com that he purchased drugs for Brown and her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, “sometimes, but not regularly.” A family insider told RadarOnline.com that Stepho had been trying to clean up his act before his death. However, he eventually relapsed.
Gordon, who is currently facing a $10 million lawsuit filed by Bobbi Kris’ conservator, has offered little comments on the death of Bobbi Kris and none on thepassing of her friend Stepho.
However, he did return to Twitter for the first time since Bobbi Kristina’s death this week, writing a post about his love for his late girlfriend. What do you think about Bobbi Kristina’s troubled friends? Tweet us @OKMagazine or let us know in the comments section below.
