The autopsy report of Aaron Carter has recently revealed the cause of his death. The 34-year-old singer, who was the younger brother of Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys, was found dead in his bathtub in his Lancaster, California home last November. According to Mirror.co.uk, the report showed that he drowned in his bathtub after taking alprazolam, a generic version of Xanax, and inhaling compressed difluoroethane, a propellant commonly used in cans of compressed air.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s report officially ruled his death as an accident, indicating that the singer had become incapacitated while in the bathtub due to the effects of the drugs. As a result, he slipped under the bathwater and drowned. The tragedy of Aaron Carter’s passing shook the music industry and his fans alike, as he was a former child star who opened for popular acts such as the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears.

Aaron Carter also had a career in acting and was featured in television shows such as “Lizzie McGuire,” “House of Carters,” and “Dancing with the Stars.” He had been open about his struggles with substance abuse and had been enrolled in rehab several times. Despite the official ruling of his death as an accident, his ex-fiancée, Melanie Martin, has said that the findings “are not closure” for her. Melanie Martin said: “It claims death is by drowning but also adds he was wearing a t-shirt and necklace in the bathtub which don’t make sense, why would he be in a bathtub with clothes on? I am still in shock and still miss Aaron every day. I don’t understand the chain of events and this report only has us asking more questions.” This has left her with unanswered questions and a sense of continued grief.
This tragic news serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers of drug abuse and highlights the importance of seeking help when dealing with addiction. As fans mourn the loss of this talented young artist, it is crucial to continue advocating for better resources and support systems for those struggling with addiction. Let us honor Aaron’s legacy by promoting awareness and education about substance abuse and working towards a future where more people can receive the help they need to overcome addiction.
