In the years after Carter Cooper’s death, Anderson Cooper candidly shared his feelings about the tragedy on multiple occasions. In another text published by CNN in 2018, Anderson wrote of his relationship with Carter, “I’d always considered us close, though now I’m not so sure, because I didn’t see the pain he was in.
