Tragically, the life of pop star Aaron Carter came to an end after a drowning accident.
Now, his son is taking action against those he holds responsible, namely, doctors and pharmacies, that had weakened his father's mental state.
A lawsuit filed by young Princeton Lyric Carter, son of Aaron, states that doctors prescribed Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, and Alprazolam without any medical need and despite being aware of his father's "mental health and psychiatric condition."
TMZ obtained details of the litigation.
A wrongful death lawsuit has been brought against Walgreens, with Aaron's family accusing them of negligence when it came to his prescriptions and medical history. On November 5, 2022, Aaron was discovered by his housekeeper in his bathtub.
Melanie Martin, Prince's mother, filed the lawsuit on his behalf.
Aaron Carter's Cause of Death
Early this year, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner released the results of Aaron Carter's autopsy.
Consequently, it was determined that his death was accidental, and he had drowned in a bathtub due to taking alprazolam (the generic form of Xanax) combined with duffluoroethane (the gas used in cans of compressed air).
Toxicology reports revealed that a sedative called alprazolam, better known under its brand name Xanax, was detected in his system.
In addition, traces of dicofluoroethane were present; this gas is often used as a propellant for air freshener products and can elicit feelings of euphoria with inhalation.
