Aaron Carter‘s fans — at least some of them — have a growing suspicion that the singer may have taken his own life … but those closest to him couldn’t disagree more.
Family sources connected to Aaron tell TMZ that the singer had a lot to look forward to, and for the first time in a while, he and his ex, Melanie Martinwas in a really good place with their relationship.
Fans have been throwing around theories on social media that Aaron may have died by suicide – pointing to a recent post which read: “LOVE IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP BLESSED, STAY SAFE. ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS.” Some fans believe Aaron knew he wasn’t going to make it to the holiday and planned to take his own life — even emerges from it on live streams.
Our family sources say, if anything, Aaron couldn’t wait for the holidays, even planning to spend time with both Melanie and their young son, Prince. He had also set up appointments with a family counselor and social worker – which he knew would help his chances of becoming a more involved parent.
Law enforcement sources told us they did not find a suicide note at the scene of Aaron’s death — and that there were canisters of compressed air and prescription pills in the singer’s bathroom and bedroom. Although not conclusive, the evidence suggests that he died accidentally.
TMZ broke the story, Aaron was found in his LA home after drowning in his bathtub sometime Friday.
