Aaron Carter dead at 34

[Celery Man 21001]

Can’t say I was a fan, but as a child of my time this hits some feelings. And always sad when someone dies this young.

Suicide or what? 

[Celery Man 21001]

Gotta be either that or overdose, I don’t think there’s information yet.

 

*edit* reportedly drowned in bathtub, and had had some addiction struggles in recent years. Sad.

Sad news at 34. What I read just said he was found dead in bathtub, has to be suicide right? When I told me gf she said he had been in some rough shit lately so not shocked

Drowned in his tub from what I’ve seen on the interwebz… rip too soon to die.

Who?

Damn sad. A lot of people really aren't equipped for the life of being a known personality

Biggest surprise is it took this long. That train had been off the tracks for a long time.

The subject of the thread that you chose to click on and then broadcast your clown show for all to see by feigning (assuming you've grasped the concept of the mouse click) ignorance of the topic. Bravo on your spectacular contribution to the thread. Bravo!

As a 90s kid, this is upsetting news. However, Aaron had his demons where he struggled with alcohol and depression for years. There would be times when he said he needed help and others when he denied his problem. Sad to see him go.

1) His older brother was in the Backstreet Boys (or maybe *NSYNC).

2) He was a solo act that was probably on the cover of Tiger Beat, if that still existed back then.

3) Had an older sister who died (cancer? something health related maybe) and never seemed to get over that. 

4) Was reported to have a major drug problem and appeared to get covered in tattoos for some reason. 

5) I believe that he recently lost a custody battle or two because he wasn’t the healthiest parental type for the kids to be around. 

6) If it wasn’t suicide, then he probably died while preparing to kill himself.

I don’t know how people get to where he was, but it didn’t appear that he was someone that could be fixed. 

Don’t know anything that he sang, but do know that he was far from being at peace while alive. Sad for everyone who cared about him.

Those aren't the hardest dots to connect

I too opened the thread to check and see if it was someone I knew.

Nope.

Wait, you mean he wasn’t even in the band?

RIP to him and the over 7,800 Americans who also died that day (based on a daily average of deaths in the U.S. taken from 2019 stats).

I worked at RadioShack in college and one Christmas they made us play a DVD of boy band types doing Xmas music, so I had to listen to/watch Aaron Carter almost every day for 90 days.  I was not a fan.  But even then I remember thinking he probably lived a pretty depressing life, and that was at his “peak”.  I just went and read his Wikipedia page, and it’s sad as fuck.  Sounds like his parents probably weren’t great people.  He found out his parents were divorcing an hour before he filmed his Cribs episode, which is hard to watch for a lot of reasons:

RIP.
