A source close to Carter’s fiancée Melanie Martin told TMZ that Martin, who was desperately making efforts to help Carter during their on-and-off relationship, signed him up for outpatient rehab after confronting him back in September. Aaron agreed to go through the program hoping that it could help him regain custody of his son Prince.
The insider added that Carter stopped the program briefly but restarted last week after Melanie forced him. Aaron was scheduled to have an online session on Friday night but he missed it. When the facility reached out to Melanie about it, she told them that he had died. He was last in contact with someone in the early hours of Friday.
His manager revealed that the late singer and rapper was also working on new music to help himself. Carter's manager Taylor Helgeson told TMZ the singer believed the music he made recently was some of his best yet. He was reportedly fueling his creative side to follow up 'LØVË'. Taylor said Aaron's other goal for the project was to rebuild his estranged relationship with his brother, Nick Carter.
Mourning his beloved brother, a devastated Nick took to his Instagram handle to pay him tribute. "I have always held on to the hope that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed. Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss, but the truth is that addiction and mental illness is the real villain here," Nick’s post reads.
Aaron Carter's twin sister Angel Conrad also paid him tribute. "I loved you beyond measure. You will be missed dearly. My funny, sweet Aaron, I have so many memories of you and me, and I promise to cherish them. I know you're at peace now. I will carry you with me until the day I die and get to see you again," she wrote on Instagram.
