Nick Gordon has denied allegations that he caused Bobbi Kristina's 'wrongful death' and says he tried to resuscitate her when she was unresponsive but was unsuccessful.

Gordon's lawyers filed a response on Tuesday to an amended complaint filed last month in a civil lawsuit that accuses him of assault, battery, causing emotional distress and stealing Bobby Kristina's money.

His attorneys hit back at the claims saying they were 'slanderous and meritless', according to People.

Nick Gordon, pictured with Bobbi Kristina Brown in 2012, has denied allegations that he caused her 'wrongful death'

His lawyers filed a response on Tuesday to an amended complaint filed last month in a civil lawsuit in which an earlier version accused him of assault, battery, causing emotional distress and stealing Bobby Kristina's money

He denied allegations that he perpetrated the fraud that he had married' her and used that misrepresentation to 'control' and 'limit' her interactions with others so that he could benefit from her wealth, People reported.

Gordon also denies physically abusing Brown, whose conservator Bedelia Hargrove, claims she had her tooth knocked out and was kicked in the side by her boyfriend.

The complaint alleges that Gordon fed Bobbi Kristina Brown a 'toxic cocktail' then placed her face-down in a tub of cold water on the last night she was seen conscious - which he denies.

According to Hargrove, police interviews with friend Max Lomas, who was at the townhome on the day of the January 31 incident, revealed that Gordon had been 'out all-night on a cocaine and drinking binge.'

He does admit that he went out on the night in question, and 'reviewed video footage and then had an argument with Ms. Brown and the he then changed clothes', according to People.

After Bobbi Kristina was found unresponsive in a bath in January at her Georgia townhome, Gordon said he tried to perform CPR on her but was unsuccessful, according to the response.

Bobbi Kristina, pictured with her mother, Whitney Houston in 2011, died July 26 at the Peachtree Christian Hospice, nearly six months after being found unconscious

He also admitted that 'others unsuccessfully attempted to resuscitate Ms. Brown', the papers said.

Bobbi Kristina died July 26 at the Peachtree Christian Hospice, nearly six months after being found unconscious.

A civil suit was filed in June and the attorney for the 22-year-old's estate amended the complaint to include an accusation of 'wrongful death.'

'We will leave no stone unturned in seeking justice for Bobbi Kristina Brown,' Hargrove said in a statement as she announced the amendments to the lawsuit.
