Aaron Carter’s neighbors said they heard someone yell “he’s dead, he’s dead” when a staff member stopped responding to the former star in a bathtub at his California home.
Cater, 34, the brother of famed pop icon and Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter, was found dead, suspected of a drug overdose by his friends, sources said. The American Sun.
A neighbor, a local photojournalist, told The US Sun that he heard on his police scanner that there was an unresponsive man in the bathtub.
His wife, a nurse, rushed with her AED [automated external defibrillator] with her and banged on the door.
“A woman opened the door and yelled ‘he’s dead, he’s dead,’ but she wouldn’t let us in because she’d already called the police,” he said.
Representatives of Carter’s family confirmed the death of the singer. His fiancée, Melanie Martin, asked for privacy while the family mourns.

Law enforcement officers said they received a 911 call at 11 a.m. Saturday saying that “a man had drowned in the tub.” They were approached by a house sitter, who had found his body, the sheriff told DailyMail.com.
Homicide detectives were dispatched to the scene, but there is no information or evidence of malicious intent at this time. Emergency services have been spotted outside Carter’s home in Lancaster, which has been cordoned off with police tape.
Later Saturday, a coroner was seen removing Carter’s body from the house.
Opening for the Backstreet Boys on a tour in 1997, Carter rose to fame in the 1990s by releasing four studio albums, starting with his self-titled debut album in 1997 when he was just 9 years old.
Notably, the 34-year-old battled addiction for years, faced legal troubles and embarked on rehabilitation as he continued his music career, according to E!.
In 2019, he revealed on “The Doctors” that he had been diagnosed with “multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia, acute anxiety and manic depression,” according to CNN.
The troubled celebrity is survived by his son Prince.
Prince’s mother and her friend Melanie Martin posted howling on Tik Tok a few minutes after the announcement.
Martin can be seen driving crying into the camera that is filming the short video.
She released a statement later Saturday: “My fiancé Aaron Carter has passed away. I love Aaron with all my heart and it will be a journey to raise a son without a father. Please respect my family’s privacy when dealing with the loss of someone we love very much. We are still in the process of accepting this unfortunate reality. Your thoughts and prayers are much appreciated.’
Carter has two sisters, including his twin sister, Angel and Leslie, who died of a drug overdose in 2012 at the age of 25.
