AJ McLean Speaks About Helping Aaron Carter
Before the release of Aaron Carter's documentary, McLean - who will appear in the special - had an exclusive interview with People during which he detailed the time the singer called him to ask for help.
The Backstreet Boys member said he told Carter in 2017 to get into treatment after learning about his struggles. The late singer then checked himself into a treatment center in Malibu.
"A couple of days later, I talked to him, and then he kind of went off the map. I think it was maybe two weeks, so I called my friends at the treatment center, and they said he checked himself out," McLean went on.
Carter, however, ultimately died on Nov. 5, 2022, with the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner recently revealing that he drowned after taking alprazolam - a generic Xanax - and inhaling compressed difluoroethane.
The substances reportedly made him "incapacitated while in the bathtub due to the effects," causing him to slip under the water and drown himself.
They also ruled Carter's death accidental.
While helping Carter, McLean also had to deal with his own struggles with addiction. He told the publication he had been in a constant battle for 22 years and had relapsed 18 months ago.
When his daughter told him that he did not "smell like her dad," McLean realized something and started to stay sober since then.
