What were Aaron Carter’s last words?
Aaron Carter’s manager Taylor Helgelson spoke to The Sun U.S. about Carter’s last texts and calls with him hours before his death. “He was so excited, he was extremely optimistic. It was a few years since we released Love, and he felt ready to do another one,” he told the publication.
“I got these incredible producers from Denmark to fly out to produce his album and it was the first time in a while that I’ve seen him so excited. He had more [to give], and he didn’t quit,” Helgelson recalled. “The last night, he texted me and he said, ‘Bro, these songs are amazing.’ And I said, ‘I know, I can’t wait until you record them.’ And he said, ‘I promise you, this is our best work yet.’”
Just a couple of hours before Carter was unresponsive, Helgelson checked in on him via text. “[He replied] ‘I’m just headed back to the house. I was in L.A. All good though. Things are looking up.’ And I said, ‘I know it.’
He continued, “He said, ‘Holy s***! The new album, what the f***? This is definitely a Grammy!’ And I said, ‘Yeah, and you deserve it.’ And he said, ‘Huge! Our best work yet.’ And that was it. It was 6.32 pm.”
In his final interview, on September 14, 2022, Carter told The Sun he’d checked into a month-long outpatient program at the LA-based Lionrock Recovery to regain custody of his son, Prince. “The main reason why I enrolled into Lionrock Recovery outpatient is to help with the weed. I don’t want to smoke weed anymore. I don’t really need to,” he said.
“It’s an abstinence program and I work with an individual counselor,” he continued, adding that one-on-one work wasn’t mandatory but that it was merely a suggestion by the court. “I do group therapy, parenting classes, domestic violence classes, I got myself certified in CPR, just a lot of different things. It’s new being a parent but it’s actually become really fun and exciting and given me a new chapter of my life. It’s been amazing.”
How did Aaron Carter die?
The official cause of Aaron Carter’s death was revealed in the autopsy report on April 18, 2023, obtained by Variety. It stated his death was caused by drowning and the effects of alprazolam, a generic form of Xanax and inhaling difluoroethane—an ingredient used in cans of compressed air.
TMZ first confirmed the tragic news back in November 2022. “It is with great regret that I confirm Aaron Carter was found unresponsive this morning in his home in Palmdale, California,” a rep told the UK-based tabloid. “The family has been notified and will be flying out to Los Angeles. Aaron worked very hard towards the end of his life in recovery, to be a good father and to make amends with his family.”
