What Happened to Bobbie Jean Carter?

The recent social media post comes a week after Bobbie Jean was confirmed dead by their sibling Angel Carter on social media. At the time, she posted "I Love you BJ, you're free now."

Jane Carter, the matriarch of the Carter family, also confirmed the tragic news through a news outlet, saying she was shocked about the incident and she will need some time to process what happened as it's already her third time losing a child, referring to Leslie Carter who passed away in 2012 and Aaron Carter who died in 2022.
