On November 6, Beijing time, American singer Aaron Carter was found drowning in the bathtub at home at the age of 34. Brother Nick Carter, who is giving a concert in London, England, choked several times and even exploded. Aaron actually appeared for the first time in the “Backstreet Boys” concert and acted as a guest performer several times, so the members almost considered Aaron as family. Aaron was about to sell his old house and start a new life after a few ridiculous years when he died unexpectedly.
Lancaster County, California, police confirmed: On the morning of the 5th local time, law enforcement received a call that a man had drowned in a bathtub and confirmed it was Aaron Carter. The detective in charge of the murder was sent to the scene, which is standard investigative procedure, and no evidence of murder has been found. However, Aaron’s cause of death has not yet been released.
The person who called the police was a woman who turned out to be the house’s hourly maid. A neighbor said Aaron’s fiancee, Melinda Martin, was found at his door with tears in her eyes hours later after hearing someone shouting “he’s dead, he’s dead”.
After Aaron’s death, his brother Nick Carter, the “Backstreet Boys” member, was in tears at the show. The group “Backstreet Boys” is currently on the “DNA World Tour” in London, It was previously reported that the concert was canceled, but it was finally performed as planned. During the concert, Nick cried several times, to the point where he could not finish the performance normally.
Although Aaron has had a very bad relationship with his siblings over the past 10 years, Nick is saddened by his brother’s death. She said on social media: “I feel very sad, although my relationship with my brother is a little hard to describe, my love for him never ends. I always dream that he will be able to live a life normal at some point “Life. Sometimes we want to find someone to blame, but the truth is that drugs and mental illness are the culprits.”
The 9-year-old boy performed for the first time at the “Backstreet Boys” concert and did not have a close relationship with his family
Aaron’s relationship with the “Backstreet Boys” was once close, and he appeared for the first time as a singer at a “Backstreet Boys” concert. At the age of 9, Aaron opened on the “Backstreet Boys” tour and was well received by fans. The following year, he released a solo album.
Aaron’s popularity was no less than Justin Bieber’s, his second solo album “Aaron’s Party (Come Get It)” sold 3 million sales in the United States. Since then, he has become the resident singer and actor of the Nickelodeon Children’s Channel, and has appeared in films and television series. He was once a popular youth idol. Aaron released a total of 4 studio albums, switched to rap later on, also participated in reality shows such as “Dancing with the Stars”, and starred in the family reality show “Teenage Star Carter Family” with his siblings.
Aaron, who was in the limelight for a while, suffered from drugs and mental illness in private. In February 2008, Aaron was pulled over for speeding on a highway in Texas when police found a small amount of marijuana in his car. In 2017, he was arrested again on suspicion of DUI and marijuana use.
Aaron admits he has struggled with mental health and substance abuse for years, having been diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, manic depression and anxiety.
His break with his family began in 2012 when his sister Leslie died of a drug overdose. At Leslie’s funeral, Nick refused to attend, and was publicly reprimanded by Aaron. Aaron even threatened to kill Nick’s family, so Nick applied for a restraining order.
I was about to sell my old home a week ago, hoping to start a new life
Aaron also knew something was wrong with him, so he has actively cooperated with treatment in recent years. Aaron and fiancée Melanie Martin welcomed their first child last November. Recently, he also tweeted that he will work hard to be a good father and a good husband.
He was only released from the treatment facility in September this year and has been trying to turn his life around recently. A week ago, he announced that he was selling his old home, saying that he was “ready for a new chapter in my life”: “I am selling my second home and the realtor has been so kind to me. Now I’m ready for life. A new chapter in my third home, where I plan to be able to live a happy life with my family.” “This year has been difficult for me, but I have learned a lot. Thank you to everyone who supported me.”
Unexpectedly, his life ended suddenly.
