Sad news to report…. singer/songwriter/actor Aaron Carter has passed away at the tender age of 34!
The singer-turned-rapper and actor was found dead Saturday at his house in Lancaster, CA … multiple sources tell us Aaron’s body was found in his bathtub. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they received a 911 call at 11 AM Saturday that a male had drowned in the tub.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … homicide detectives have been dispatched to the scene, but we have no information or evidence of foul play. It’s standard operating procedure for homicide detectives to investigate such death scenes.
Aaron shot to fame back in the late 1990s as a pop singer, releasing four studio albums, starting with his self-titled debut album in 1997 when he was only 9 years old.
Carter has suffered years of drug and substance abuse and has been in and out of rehab.
As recently as September, the “Fool’s Gold” singer revealed that he had “voluntarily” checked into an out-patient program of a rehab center in order to try and regain custody of his 11-month-old son, Prince.
Aaron said at the time that he was seeking help to manage “triggers” that made him want to smoke marijuana, and also admitted to taking Xanax as part of a “regimented medication” plan to keep him “clean from huffing dust.”
Then, just a few days ago, he was pulled over by police on suspicion of a DUI, according to TMZ.
His rep could not immediately be reached for comment.
May he REST IN PEACE….
