As family, friends and fans continue to mourn the death of Aaron Carter, more details are coming out surrounding his passing and the aftermath.
Carter died at age 34 at his California residence on Saturday, November 5, the “I Want Candy” singer’s rep confirmed to Us Weekly at the time. TMZ later reported that police officers found containers of compressed air and prescription pills at the scene. An official cause of death has yet to be announced.
Tributes for the “Aaron’s Party” artist, who first rose to fame at 7 years old, immediately poured in following his untimely passing.
“My heart has been broken today,” Aaron’s older brother, Nick Carter, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, November 6. “Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded. I have always held onto the hope that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed.”
The “That’s How I Beat Shaq” rapper had long been candid about his mental health and substance abuse struggles, revealing on The Doctors in 2019 that his “official diagnosis is that I suffer from multiple personality disorder [dissociative identity disorder], schizophrenia, acute anxiety and manic depression.” In addition to revealing a long list of medications he was prescribed, Aaron also admitted that he was addicted to huffing.
“I was huffing because I was really f—king stupid and sad, but this is really no excuse,” he told the hosts. “I was huffing because I’m a drug addict.”
In his heartfelt statement, Nick, 42, added, “Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss. But the truth is that addiction and mental illness is the real villain here. I will miss my brother more
