(UnitedHeadlines.com) – On Dec. 23, the sister of pop singers Aaron and Nick Carter, Bobbie Jean Carter, 41, died after being found “unresponsive” in the bathroom of her Tampa, Florida home.
According to a statement from the Hillsborough Sheriff’s Department, she was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
During their investigation, deputies for the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office learned Carter was on probation for possession of cocaine. However, deputies found no narcotics or personal paraphernalia in her bathroom or room. Her roommate stated that since her release from prison, Carter had not used any narcotics. In June, she was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and theft, according to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities stated that there were no signs of foul play, and the official cause of death is pending toxicology reports from the medical examiner’s office.
Her 8-year-old daughter was at the home at the time of the incident.
On Nov. 5, 2022, her brother, musician Aaron Carter, 34, was found dead in the bathtub of his home in Lancaster, California. According to the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner, his death was caused by drowning and ruled an accident. The coroner’s report listed contributing factors as the effects of difluoroethane, an aerosol propellant found in spray cans, and alprazolam, a drug used to treat anxiety and panic disorders.
In a statement to TMZ, her mother, Jane Carter, said she needs “time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time.” In 2012, her daughter Leslie died of an overdose.
Jane Carter also requested prayers for Bobbi Jean’s daughter Bella, “who previously lost her father” and has now also lost her mother.
Her sister, Angel Carter Conrad, said she had “a great sense of humor and a lively spirit.” In the statement, she said that she knew how “Leslie, Aaron, and now you ended up in the circumstances that you did.” She added, “You’re free now.”
