The results clearly revealed that his death was caused due to "accidentally" drowning in the bathtub and due to the effects of sedatives and difluoroethane, traces of which were found in his system. While a sedative named 'Alprazolam' was reportedly inhaled by Carter, traces of the compressed gas difluoroethane, a gas commonly used in air spray cleaners, was also found in his system, the report added. These two substances made him "incapacitated" and caused his drowning.  It is pertinent to note that the pop star had been under the radar of the police for drug abuse. He was also visited by the cops after a video of him inhaling something during an Instagram live went viral last year. Not just that, he has been also arrested a few times in drug-related cases. Aaron Carter deathOn 5 November 2022, singer and rapper Aaron Carter was found dead at the age of 34.
