This is Nick Gordon relaxing near his Florida home as Bobbi Kristina Brown’s family gather by the 22-year-old’s hospice bed five hundred miles away in Atlanta.

These exclusive pictures captured by Daily Mail Online show Gordon less than 24 hours after it emerged that his fiancée Bobbi Kristina has been taken off life support and moved to hospice care as her condition continues to deteriorate.

And while Gordon, 25, lounged with friends at the hot-tub near his duplex home in Florida Thursday evening, Fulton County Georgia’s District Attorney’s office have revealed they are ‘reviewing the case with greater interest.’

Laying low: In addition to the female friend Gordon was also joined by a young child

Unknown: It is not known who the female pal Gordon was speaking to is

No worries: Gordon appeared calm and relaxed as he strolled to the pool and hot tub with a blonde female friend and young child

Their announcement comes just a day after Bobbi Kristina’s family filed a $40million suit against Gordon alleging that he stole money from Bobbi and violently abused her in the prelude to her discovery in January, face down and unresponsive, in the bathtub of the Roswell, Georgia home she and Gordon shared.

Gordon could soon become the subject of a fully-fledged murder investigation, as Bobbi Kristina’s death may be imminent.

Prosecutors in Fulton County Georgia told TMZ that ‘in view of the new circumstances regarding the health status of Bobbi Kristina Brown, we will be reviewing the case with greater interest.’

Yet Gordon appeared calm and relaxed as he strolled to the pool and hot tub with an older blonde female friend and young child.

Gordon, who deleted his Twitter account earlier today, attempted to shield his face with his baseball cap and focused on his cell phone as he dangled his legs in the water.

Yesterday Gordon, who has been an erratic presence on social media throughout the Bobbi Kristina saga, posted a final tweet before deleting his twitter account.

Appearing to respond to news of Bobbi Kristina’s move to a hospice he tweeted: ‘We keep praying, she has fought hard this long don’t give up hope.’

He has not commented publicly since news of the lawsuit broke.

He appeared dazed and declined to comment when approached by Daily Mail Online and asked about his girlfriend’s deteriorating condition and the lawsuit with which he has just been hit.

Silent: He has not commented publicly since news of the lawsuit broke

The suit has been brought by Bedella Hargrove the court-appointed conservator for Bobbi Kristina – Krissy to her family and friends.

It claims that Gordon was physically abusive on multiple occasions and stole from her while she was in a medically induced coma.

Members of her family, including aunt Pat Houston and her grief-stricken father Bobby Brown, were seen Thursday afternoon arriving at the hospice in Georgia where Bobbi Kristina was taken the day before.

There is also a claim in the lawsuit that Bobbi was set to meet with a friend and reveal her problems with Gordon around the same time she was found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub on January 31 at her suburban Atlanta home.

The lawsuit states: 'Just prior to January 31, 2015, Brown had confided to someone that [Gordon] was not the man she thought he was and set up a time on January 31, 2015 to meet with this person to further discuss this revelation.

'Brown, however, never made it to the meeting. Instead, on the morning of January 31, 2015, Brown became embroiled in a loud argument with [Gordon] at her townhome.

'The loud argument ended and Brown was later found unresponsive and unconscious, face down in a bathtub, with her mouth swollen and another tooth knocked out.'

The lawsuit accuses Gordon of physically assaulting Bobbi multiple times - including 'punching her in the face, knocking out a front tooth, and dragging her upstairs by the hair'.

It goes on to claim; 'Even after Brown's hospitalization, and while she was in a coma, [Gordon] accessed Brown's bank account(s) and stole in excess of $11,000 from Brown's bank account(s).'

There is also a claim that Gordon falsely represented himself as Bobbi's husband, gaining access to her accounts and trust - something she began to question last year. The lawsuit is asking for at least $10million in punitive damages for these assault claims.

On the battery claims, the lawsuit says Gordon 'engaged in and caused unwanted, harmful and offensive bodily contact to Brown'.

It gets more specific, claiming that the harm caused by Gordon included 'loss of teeth, pain and suffering, and trauma that has required medical treatment as a direct consequence of [Gordon's] physical abuse'.

On these battery claims, the lawsuit is asking for at least another $10million in punitive damages.

Next the lawsuit accuses Gordon of infliction of emotional distress, claiming he 'committed domestic abuse against Brown without provocation and/or justification, which resulted in substantial bodily injury'.

It then adds that Gordon allegedly inflicted 'visible life altering bodily harm' on Bobbi, causing her to suffer 'severe emotional distress'.

For this, the lawsuit asks for at least another $10million in punitive damages.

Next comes the conversion claims and that Gordon allegedly stole from Bobbi while she was in a coma.

'While Brown was in a medically-induced coma, [Gordon] intentionally and without consent or authorization transferred money from brown's bank account(s) to his own bank account.'

It then said that even though Bobbi is unable to ask for her assets back, given her medical state, Gordon having them is 'an exercise of wrongful dominion or control ... and detrimental to Brown's rights as the owner'.

For the damages Bobbi has suffered as a result of this, the lawsuit requests a minimum of $10million in punitive damages.

This make the total amount being asked for the suit a minimum of $40million in damages.

The lawsuit goes on to ask that the matter be tried by a jury.

Nick Gordon falls down drunk night before Dr. Phil intervention

Suit: The lawsuit by Bobbi's family detailing claims of alleged abuse by Gordon

Following Bobbi's admission to the hospital, Gordon appeared on Dr. Phil, where the TV host had an intervention with the young man, who had been abusing Xanax and alcohol.

Referring to Whitney Houston - who took in Gordon when he was 12 and raised him as a son - and Bobbi - who he calls Krissy - he said: 'I lost the most legendary singer ever and I’m scared to lose Krissy.

'I want to let all you guys know I did everything possible in the world to protect them.'

The night before the dramatic intervention, DailyMail.com caught Gordon in his hotel, so drunk he could not even stand.

His mother Michelle was also present at the intervention, saying her son was torn up because he could not see Bobbi in the hospital. Soon after he completed a stint in rehab.

In March, Bobbi's family said she was transferred from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta to a rehabilitation center.

She remained on life support there until Wednesday afternoon, when she was taken to a hospice.

Her aunt Pat - the wife of Whitney's brother Gary - and Bobbi's dad Bobby Brown have joint legal guardianship of her.
