Aaron Carter's twin sister Angel blames 'fame and money' for his battle with addiction

Aaron Carter’s twin sister Angel is speaking out about her brother’s devastating and sudden death. She opened up about how Aaron "fought to the end" during his battle with addiction and how they grew up in a toxic family environment surrounded by alcohol. "Fame and money took over our family," Angel shared during an interview with People. "Aaron was already in a bad place, but it was like a domino effect." The singer died in November at the age of 34 after he drowned, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner.

The "effects of difluoroethane and alprazolam" were listed as contributing factors in his death. Difluoroethane is an aerosol propellant found in spray cans, and alprazolam is commonly referred to as Xanax.

Aaron publicly struggled with addiction throughout his life and previously admitted his sister Leslie, who died from an overdose in 2012, introduced him to huffing, the practice of inhaling fumes from household items.

In August 2019, Aaron took to social media to post videos of himself with the guns he owned, which caused concern from his family, especially his twin sister.
