This was the harrowing aftermath of the deadly booze and drugs bender that claimed the life of Nick Gordon, the late Bobbi Kristina Brown’s ex-fiancé.
Gordon spent his final hours holed up in a Florida hotel room where he downed shots of tequila, smoked pot and snorted heroin, according to a newly released cache of documents and photos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.
Airyelle McMahon, a co-worker and girlfriend, dialled 911 after 30-year-old Gordon began making ‘groaning noises’ in his sleep and a ‘dark substance’ started seeping from his nose, according to police reports.
He was rushed to hospital after the New Year’s Eve binge but died on January 1, a medical examiner later confirming ‘heroin toxicity’ as the cause of his death.
Shocking evidence photos published today for the first time show pools of a dark, sticky substance resembling vomit on the floor of Gordon’s room at the Sheraton Orlando North Hotel.
Further images reveal clothes strewn across the floor and furniture, soiled bedding, a bag of weed and various items of drug paraphernalia.
Gordon was notorious for the 2015 death of Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina, who spent six months in a coma after she was found unconscious in a bathtub with similar drugs in her system.
Her controlling ex-fiancée never faced criminal charges but was held legally responsible for her wrongful death in a civil case.

Despite his pariah status, he was holding down a job late last year and his family believed he was turning a corner in his years-long battle with alcohol and drug addiction.
However police documents reveal a sadder, chaotic denouement to Gordon’s life: He was homeless and living in the Sheraton with just a bag of clothes and a handful of possessions including a phone, Xanax pills, four packs of Pez candy and his battered BMW car.
McMahon, 28, had moved to the Orlando area several months earlier for work and was staying at the same hotel, where the pair became romantically involved, she told officers.
On December 31 they left their workplace, 24/7 InTouch Orlando, bought alcohol and food from Taco Bell before going back to the hotel to drink and smoke pot.
‘At approximately 2030 hours they both snorted a line of heroin and took a couple of shots of tequila,’ according to a report from the Maitland Police Department.
‘Airyelle knew that Nicholas was going to bring some type of narcotic drug that night in order to celebrate the New Year, but she did not know which narcotic.
‘Airyelle does not know where Nicholas obtained the heroin. This was the first time Airyelle had ever done heroin.’

The report says Gordon and McMahon fell asleep watching TV but McMahon woke up around midnight and noticed the bed was damp from either urine or vomit
McMahon woke up repeatedly throughout the night to find Gordon snoring, semi-conscious and then finally making groaning noises. When she could not find a pulse and noticed a ‘dark substance coming from his nose’ she rang cops at 5:05am

The report says they fell asleep watching TV but McMahon woke up around midnight and noticed the bed was damp from either urine or vomit.
She slapped Gordon in the face and could not wake him but he was breathing and she could feel a pulse, so she rolled him on his side so he wouldn’t choke.
McMahon woke up repeatedly throughout the night to find Gordon snoring, semi-conscious and then finally making groaning noises.
When she could not find a pulse and noticed a ‘dark substance coming from his nose’ she rang cops at 5:05am.
‘While doing chest compressions on Nicholas as the operator was instructing her, more of the dark substance started coming out of his nose and mouth,’ the report adds.
Gordon was unresponsive when first responders arrived and died the next day at Altamonte Springs Hospital, with family members including his brother Jack Walker Jr., at his bedside.
‘I thought he was sick. I thought he was just f**ked up,’ McMahon told investigating officers.
DailyMail.com disclosed afterwards that the substance Gordon took was black tar heroin, a cheaper but notoriously potent and dangerous form of the drug.
Detective Ryan Quinn concluded, however, that the death was an accident and did not warrant further investigation.
‘I determined there was no indication of foul play and no evidence indicating the means by which the decedent was able to obtain the narcotics found in his body,’ he concluded.
At the time of his death Gordon was calling himself Nicholas Bouler, after his biological dad Jon Bouler, in what friends speculated was an effort to escape his past and the $36million in civil damages he owed over Bobbi Kristina’s death.

The daughter of pop icons Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina spent six months in a coma after she was found passed out in a bathtub with drugs in her system and bruises to her chest.
Gordon protested his innocence and insisted he did everything he could to resuscitate the 22-year-old budding singer after finding her unconscious at the Alpharetta, Georgia home they shared.
The sad episode echoed the death of her superstar star mom Whitney who also drowned in a bathtub in a Beverly Hills hotel, with cocaine abuse and heart disease contributing to her February 2012 demise.
Bobby Kristina’s autopsy similarly listed drug intoxication and the immersion of her face in the water as factors.
Gordon, who was taken in by Houston at the age of 12, never faced criminal charges and claimed he tried his best to save the girl he considered his ‘lil sis’ before their relationship became romantic.
Brown’s estate accused him of causing her wrongful death by giving her a ‘toxic mixture’ and also stealing from her bank account while she was comatose.
When neither Gordon, nor his lawyer, showed up at hearings in 2016 a Fulton County Superior Court judge ruled against him by default, ordering him to pay massive damages.
Gordon’s rap sheet also included arrests for kidnap and domestic violence against Laura Leal, another girlfriend, who said that during a June 2017 fight he punched her so hard she wondered if she was dead.
McMahon declined to speak to DailyMail.com.
