Authorities search for Aaron Carter’s cause of death as clues emerge
LA TimesSinger/songwriter Aaron Carter, shown in 2017, was found dead at his home in Lancaster on Saturday. The Los Angeles County’s coroner’s office performed an autopsy on singer Aaron Carter, who was found dead at his home in Lancaster on Saturday, but officials deferred declaring a cause of death pending chemical tests. L.A. County sheriff’s deputies said they received a call about 11 a.m. from a housekeeper who found Carter unresponsive. Carter quickly gained a following with songs like “Aaron’s Party,” “Crazy Little Party Girl,” “I Want Candy” and “That’s How I Beat Shaq.” Carter was open about his struggles with mental health and substance abuse. Carter said his previous attempts to wean himself from medications that had been prescribed during rehab resulted in his going to “a very dark depressive state” and that he “didn’t function normally.” In September, deputies checked Carter’s home after fans feared he was using drugs.
