Bobbie Jean Carter, sister of Nick Carter and Aaron Carter, has passed away at age 41. The cause of death is unknown at this time.
Bobbie Jean’s mother, Jane Carter, released a statement following the death of her daughter. “I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean; and I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time,” she said, adding, “When I am able to think clearly, I’ll release a fuller statement; but until then I would request to be left to grieve in private.”
She added, “However deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be much greater. So, I would ask the sympathetic to say a prayer for my precious eight-year-old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother.”
Bobbie Jean Carter Passes Away At Age 41
Bobbie Jean, also known as BJ, was the sister of Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter and ‘I Want Candy’ singer Aaron Carter, who passed away in November 2022. Authorities determined that the pop star died after drowning in his bathtub while under the influence.
Per our previous article, Aaron’s toxicology tests showed “difluoroethane” in his system, which is commonly found in aerosol dusters and compressed air cans. “Difluoroethane is a gas commonly used as a propellant in air spray cleaners for electronic devices that can induce feelings of euphoria when inhaled. It is known to have cardiotoxic effects which can lead to cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest,” the toxicology report stated.
A common benzodiazepine — Xanax — was also found in his system at the time of death.
Aaron’s toxicology report stated that “based on the autopsy findings, investigative reports, and circumstances, as currently known, Mr. Carter became incapacitated while in the bathtub due to the effects of inhaling compressed gas and taking alprazolam.”
“This resulted in him becoming submerged underwater, unable to breathe, and ultimately led to his death,” the report continued. “The cause of death is drowning due to the effects of difluoroethane and alprazolam. The manner of death is an accident.”
Nearly one year after losing his brother, Nick Carter spoke out about the tragic loss, admitting he is “still processing” everything.
“I’m just still processing the whole thing,” the Backstreet Boys member told E! News. “And sometimes you push it down because you don’t want to think about it.”
Nick Carter began crying in the interview with the outlet, before stating, “And then it comes out, like this. I’m hoping one day I can make sense of it all.”
