In an appearance on the Squeeze podcast, Angel Carter, the twin sister of the late singer Aaron Carter, shared that she had been preparing for his death after watching him struggle with drug addiction since he was 12.

During the conversation, Angel recalled how it was to deal with the death of their older sister, Leslie, who died of an overdose in 2012. “The interesting thing about Leslie’s passing—she passed away when I was 23—[was that] her death caught me completely off guard,” she said.
“When she passed away, I was already in therapy preparing myself for Aaron’s death. I thought he was going to die. I feared it throughout all my twenties. I knew that day would come and I think he knew it too,” Angel told hosts Tay and Taylor Lautner.
She revealed that she dedicated years of her life trying to help the singer, saying that he couldn’t shake off the addiction and often rejected her support.
In 2019, the singer’s battle with drugs intensified when he allegedly experienced a psychosis episode amid a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
At that time, Angel claimed that Aaron had confided in her about his thoughts of killing babies and how he began accumulating several weapons within a week.
The situation led Angel, who is a mother, and their older brother Nick, to file a restraining order against the singer. The court order resulted in Aaron’s firearms being taken away from him. “I had to protect him from himself,” Angel said tearfully.
“I couldn’t save him. It wasn’t my responsibility to save him, but I tried,” she added. In November 2022, Aaron was found dead in a bathtub at his California property after slipping and falling.
According to an autopsy report obtained by Page Six, his death was deemed accidental, although he was found under the influence of multiple substances. He was 34 years old and left behind a son, Prince, now two years old, from his relationship with ex-fiancée Melanie Martin.
