Aaron Carter’s family believes he died of an overdose and not drowning… before the benefit concert

>

Aaron Carter’s family have claimed he suffered a drug overdose after coroners told them no water was found in his lungs, ruling out drowning as the cause of death.

The troubled singer was found dead in his bathtub at his California home at the age of 34 on November 5 after police responded to a report of a ‘drowning’.

But now his fiancee Melanie Martin, 30, and her mother, Jane Carter, are urging officers to investigate an alleged drug deal he made the night he died, as they believe it could have led to an overdose.

In an interview with TMZ, Martin said he had found text messages on Carter’s phone from a man demanding $800 for an unknown substance.

Aaron Carter’s mother Jane, pictured left, and his fiancee Melanie Martin, right, say coroners found no water in the late star’s lungs, ruling out drowning as the cause of death.

Carter, who did stints in rehab in 2011 and 2017, allegedly told the man that he no longer needed the substance, to which the man replied that it didn’t matter as he still owed the money.

He then asked if he was being threatened, which is where the messages end.

Martin has submitted the text exchange to the Los Angeles Police Department as evidence.

The grieving influencer, who recently won custody of the year-old son she shares with Carter, cryptically accused Instagram user @momoh of making ‘gangsters give Aaron supplies’ via instastory on Monday night.

‘Why is this guy going?’ Melanie, who turned all the evidence over to the LAPD for investigation, cryptically accused Instagram user @momoh of making “gangsters give Aaron supplies” via Instastory Monday night.

Both Martin and Carter’s mother revealed that the Los Angeles County coroner’s office had told them that no water was found in the star’s lungs, meaning he could not have drowned.

They’re awaiting the results of a toxicology report to determine what was in his system.

It echoes the way Carter’s older sister, Leslie, died after suffering a drug overdose in 2012 when she was just 25 years old.

In the spring, Aaron’s family will travel to the Florida Keys to spread his and Leslie’s ashes.

Officers were called to Carter’s home at 10:58 a.m. the day he died in response to a 911 call.

Troubled former teen idol Aaron Carter was found dead at the age of 34 in the bathtub of his California home on November 5.

Cops believe her body was in the bathtub for a long time because it smelled of decomposition and the water had turned an unnatural color.

The tub jets were still running and law enforcement was too he found several canisters of compressed air in Carter’s bathroom and bedroom, as well as prescription pills.

Carter’s death certificate released in November revealed that the singer indicated that an autopsy was performed before his body was cremated.

However, the cause of death was deferred at the time.

His fiancée previously told Page Six that Carter “didn’t know how to escape his demons,” claiming he would be “tricked” into partying while trying to sober up.

Meanwhile, his brother and Backstreet Boys star Nick Carter, from whom he was estranged, previously said of the tragedy: “addiction and mental illness are the real villains here.”
