How did Aaron Carter die?

The singer was found dead in the bathtub of his California home last year, on November 5. Even though his official cause of death has not yet been announced, Carter's family believed that the singer relapsed into his drug addiction which is considered the most likely cause of death. Carter's housekeeper discovered his unresponsive body and frantically called the police. The child pop star was announced dead at the scene. 

Carter was survived by his fiancée Melanie Martin and his son, Prince, who was only 11 months old. Martin broke the tragic news of the death of her fiance saying, "My fiancé Aaron Carter has passed away. I love Aaron with all my heart and it’s going to be a journey to raise a son without a father. Please respect the privacy of my family as we come to terms with the loss of someone we love greatly. We are still in the process of accepting this unfortunate reality. Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated," she told TMZ.
