Aaron Carter’s cause of death has been revealed.
According to the LA County coroner, the cause of death was drowning. Contributing factors included effects of difluoroethane (propellant in canned air) and Alprazolem (generic Xanax).
The report says multiple cans of compressed gas dusters, used to clean electronics, were found near him and that he had a known history of inhalant abuse. Multiple bottles of prescription medications were also found.
The report concludes that Aaron “became incapacitated while in the bathtub due to the effects of inhaling compressed gas and taking Alprazolem. This resulted in him becoming submerged under water, unable to breathe and ultimately led to his death.”
Aaron Carter, younger brother of the Backstreet Boys‘ Nick Carter, died last November at age 34. He was found in a bathtub at his home in Lancaster, California.
