By: Kirk Jackson

Unfortunate news again hit the world of entertainment, music and pop culture this past weekend, with the passing singer/songwriter/rapper/actor/dancer Aaron Carter.

TMZ was one of the first news media outlets to report the news.

According to the news media outlet, TMZ reports cans of compressed air were found in Carter’s bedroom and bathroom along with prescription pills.

Law enforcement sources tell the site that police performed a welfare check at the house around 2 a.m. Friday, Nov. 4. Carter’s live-in housekeeper (not named) opened the door for the cops, but the music star asked them to leave.

After not seeing Carter all day on Friday, the housekeeper approached his room Saturday to see if he wanted any coffee. She heard his dog inside the room and opened the door, ultimately discovering his lifeless body in the bathtub.

The sources told TMZ that there were signs of decomposition, noting an odor and the color of the water. The tub jets were still on when his body was found.

An official cause of death has not been confirmed at this time, as the coroner’s office is awaiting toxicology results and additional information. 

Carter recorded an interview with fashion and lingerie designer, Kaila Methven for her show K’LA Afterdark, before he tragically died on Nov. 5.

In the days following his death, Kaila shared footage from the interview with Press Pass LA and the video can also be seen across YouTube.

Carter’s struggles with depression, mental health issues and drug addiction are well documented. A strong presence across social media, some sources close to the star state Carter was in a good mental state prior to his death.

Aaron is survived by his mother Jane Carter, his older brother Nick Carter, fiancée Melanie Martin, and soon to be 1-year-old son Prince.

We at The Scope Network would like to express our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Aaron Carter.

Rest in peace.
