On December 23, Bobbie Jean Carter, sister to the Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter and the late Aaron Carter, tragically passed away at the age of 41. The recent revelation of Bobbie Jean’s cause of death sheds light on the tragic circumstances surrounding her passing.
The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Department confirmed that Bobbie Jean Carter’s death was the result of “intoxication by the combined effects of fentanyl and methamphetamine.” This has been classified as an accidental death. The report also mentioned that Bobbie Jean was last seen by her roommate at around 6:30 a.m. on the day of her demise.
Tragically, just 30 minutes later, Bobbie Jean was found unresponsive on her bathroom floor. This situation was reminiscent of her brother Aaron Carter’s passing. She was quickly rushed to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Tampa, where she went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at 8:02 a.m.
It is essential to note that Bobbie Jean had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, a condition that her mother, Jane Carter, confirmed. The report also disclosed the presence of prescribed medications in Bobbie Jean’s system, including propranolol, omeprazole, clindamycin, and quetiapine. Authorities have ruled out foul play or narcotics at the scene.
Sadly, Bobbie Jean’s passing follows the deaths of her siblings, Aaron in November 2022, and Leslie Carter in 2012. These circumstances have undoubtedly taken a toll on the Carter family, and Nick Carter, in particular, has expressed his heartbreak on Instagram. He shared a childhood photo of him and his sister, expressing his belief that she is “finally at peace with God.” Nick also expressed his gratitude to his fans for their support during this challenging time.
Bobbie Jean’s life was not without its struggles, including legal and substance abuse issues. She had recently been arrested for retail theft and possession of fentanyl. Despite once being involved in the entertainment industry as a wardrobe stylist and makeup artist for her brother Aaron and appearing on the reality TV show “House of Carters,” Bobbie Jean spent her final years away from the public eye.
Survived by her young daughter, Bella, and her siblings, Nick and Angel, Bobbie Jean’s passing is a heartbreaking loss for her family. As the details of her cause of death come to light, it serves as a reminder of the devastating impact of substance abuse and mental health struggles. May her soul rest in peace.
