Aaron Carter‘s official cause of death has been revealed, Us Weekly can confirm.
Carter drowned in a bathtub due to the effects of difluoroethane and alprazolam, according to the coroner’s report, which was obtained by Us on Tuesday, April 18. His death was ruled an accident.
The report notes that difluoroethane is common in spray cleaners and is known to lead to cardiac issues. Alprazolam, meanwhile, is a benzodiazepine which can cause drowsiness and sedation.
“Mr. Carter became incapacitated while in the bathtub due to the effects of inhaling compressed gas and talking alprazolam. This resulted in him becoming submerged under water, unable to breath [sic], and ultimately led to his death,” the report states.
The late rapper, who rose to fame as a child singer, passed away at age 34 on November 6, 2022. Carter was found unresponsive in his California home, where he was later pronounced dead. The musician is survived by his 12-month old son, Prince, whom he shares with ex-fiancée Melanie Martin.
