The next stroke of fate for the Carter family.
Just a year after singer Aaron Carter († 34) was found dead in his bathtub, his older sister has also died. The cause of death is still unclear. Loud “ TMZBobbie Jean Carter died last Saturday morning in Florida at the age of 41.
Her mother told the magazine: “I am in shock to learn of the sudden death of my daughter Bobbie Jean; and I will need time to process the terrible reality that this has happened for the third time. When I am able to think clearly I will give a more detailed explanation; “But until then, I ask that I be allowed to mourn in peace.”

And further: “However deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a small child at the loss of a parent must be even greater. Therefore, I would like to ask all compassionate people to say a prayer for my precious eight-year-old granddaughter Bella, who has already lost her father and is now without her mother too.”
The family story reads like a tragic Hollywood drama. Of the five happy Carter siblings, only TWO are now alive: singer Nick Carter (43) and his sister Angel (36).
In 2012, Leslie Carter died of an overdose at just 25 years old. Her brother, Aaron Carter, also had drug problems and drowned in his bathtub after taking the sedative Xanax and inhaling gases from cans of compressed air. And Sister Bobbie Jean had also repeatedly struggled with addiction problems in recent years. She even had to go to court several times last year.
