Aaron Carter is dead. This is a shocking news as most fans, even though aware of the tough times he has had, cannot get it out from their minds the young boy who rose to fame after his brother, Nick Carter did. He was a known singer and even a recognised actor. This is a tragedy indeed.
Saturday marked the passing of Aaron Carter, who gained early popularity as a musician, television personality, and younger brother of Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter. He was 34.
His management company confirms to The Hollywood Reporter that he was discovered deceased at his Lancaster, California home. There was no cause of death listed. But as reported by TMZ, he was found in a bathtub.
A representative for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to THR that a suspicious death occurred at Carter's property, but was unable to identify the name of the deceased.
As earlier reported, It's unclear whether his death could be possibly linked to his legal troubles.
As earlier reported, Aaron Carter intended to sue his ex-girlfriend Melanie Martin, using the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation case as an analogy.
The former teen star, who was recently accused of breaking Melanie's ribs, compared his aims to the April-through-June high-profile trial.
Aaron Carter has claimed he is suing his on-off girlfriend Melanie Martin for defamation because of these abuse allegations, which he has denied.
