Los Angeles County coroners deemed Aaron Carter’s death an accident in a report made public on Tuesday (18 April). In November of 2022, the body of Aaron Carter, singer and younger brother of Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter, was discovered. According to the autopsy results, Carter drowned while under the influence of sedatives and difluoroethane.
Compressed gas difluoroethane, which the report describes as “a gas commonly used as a propellant in air spray cleaners” and “can induce feelings of euphoria when inhaled,” was also discovered in his system. The sedative alprazolam, usually sold under the trade name Xanax, was also present. According to the investigation, he drowned after being unconscious by the combination of drugs.
What was Aaron Carter’s cause of death?
The autopsy results for Aaron Carter were published on Tuesday, April 18 by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. It was alleged that Mr. Carter’s housekeeper discovered him face down in the tub on November 5, 2022, and immediately dialled 911 for help. She was given instructions to begin CPR on the victim. The medical examiner said that at 11:14 a.m., paramedics were called and Mr. Carter was declared deceased.
According to the article, the late singer (and brother of Nick Carter) remained “submerged” in the tub after “inhaling compressed gas and taking alprazolam.”
Page Six reports that the coroner has ruled that drowning was the official cause of death. The effects were purportedly caused by “difluoroethane, a flammable gas often used as the propellant in cans of compressed air, and alprazolam, a generic form of Xanax.”
