Aaron Carter, a singer and actor who rose to fame as a child, died on November 5, 2022, at the age of 34. The cause of his death was determined to be drowning in his bathtub after taking alprazolam, the generic form of brand-name Xanax, and inhaling difluoroethane, a compressed gas. The Los Angeles County coroners office ruled his death as accidental. Contributing factors to his death included the effects of the drugs he had taken and the gas he had inhaled. Carter had become a controversial figure in recent years, struggling with addiction and mental health issues. He had also been involved in legal trouble and had lost custody of his son due to domestic violence and drug concerns. Despite his early success, his career later stalled, and he had released his first album in 15 years, "Love," to lukewarm reviews in 2018.
