Bobbi Kristina Brown News Update: Hospice Nurse Arrested as Impostor
One of the nurses charged with treating Bobbi Kristina Brown, while she lay near death under treatment at a hospice facility, has been identified as an impostor and taken into custody by police.
According to TMZ, Forsyth County officers have charged Taiwo Sobamowo with faking her way into the facility where Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's only daughter was being treated. She now faces formal charges of identity theft, forgery and impersonating a nurse.
Authorities now suspect she used the actual identification of a real nurse with a similar name to gain employment at the hospital and perhaps entry into Bobbi Kristina Brown's room. She was recently taken into custody in North Carolina after fleeing nearby Georgia and is believed to have previously perpetrated a similar scam in the Washington D.C. area.
It's unclear if Sobamowo had direct contact with Brown or if her scam was intended to get her close to the famous family.
Brown died at the Peachtree Hospice facility in late July, some six months after she was found unresponsive and face down in the bathtub of the home she shared with boyfriend Nick Gordon. She has since been buried alongside her mother at a New Jersey cemetery.
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old Gordon is now the central figure in a criminal investigation probing the circumstances of his girlfriend's death. He has also been hit with a multimillion dollar wrongful death suit filed by the conservator of Brown's estate Bedelia Hargrove, alleging that on the night in question he served her a "toxic cocktail" that essentially rendered her defenseless.
Gordon, who recently moved from Georgia to Florida, has denied all the allegations and has hired famed Casey Anthony attorney Jose Baez to represent him.
In a statement released through his attorney, Bobbi Brown admitted he believes it was Gordon who "harmed" his daughter.
