Pop singer Aaron Carter, the younger brother of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, was found dead in his bathtub at home where he drowned.
He was 34 years old.
TMZ obtained a photo of sheriffs’ cars and paramedics outside Aaron’s home … and the property is surrounded with caution tape.
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 got his start opening for the Backstreet Boys on a 1997 tour, and his debut album, Aaron Carter, was released later than year, reaching gold status.
His follow-up album, Aaron’s Party (Come and Get It), was released in September 2000 and went triple platinum. It featured the singeles “I Want Candy,” “Aaron’s Party (Come Get It)” and “That’s How I Beat Shaq.”
Carter transitioned into rap as his music career progressed … and he also appeared on Dancing With The Stars and acted in the Broadway production Seussical.
Carter had tons of legal and substance abuse issues over the years — infamously appearing on The Doctors couple years ago and talking about all the pills he was taking. He also went to rehab numerous times.
Carter is survived by his son, Prince.
