(LibertySons.org) – Tragedy has struck the musically inclined family of Nick Carter and his siblings once again. A roommate found Bobbie Jean Carter, 41, unresponsive in her bathroom on December 23 and called first responders. While the Hillsborough Sheriff’s Department investigated, emergency medical technicians rushed Carter to the hospital, where doctors later pronounced her dead. She’s the third of five siblings to die in recent years.
Sheriff’s investigators found she was on probation for cocaine possession when she died. However, they found no drugs or paraphernalia in the home, and her roommate said she hadn’t used any narcotics since her release from prison in November. Additionally, authorities didn’t find any signs of foul play.
Deputies stayed with Carter’s orphaned 8-year-old daughter, Bella, until a family member from Orlando could arrive. Her father died previously. A source told reporters that the child would stay with her aunt, her deceased father’s sister.
Carter’s mother, Jane Carter, told TMZ she was “in shock” from learning about her daughter’s “sudden death.” She told the outlet she needed time to process losing one of her children “for the third time.”
The musical clan lost daughter Leslie at the age of 25 in January 2012 from an accidental overdose of muscle relaxers and anxiety medications after she had fallen in a shower. In November 2022, the family lost 34-year-old singer Aaron Carter to an accidental drowning in his bathtub at his home in Lancaster, California, after taking the same anti-anxiety medications his sister had taken ten years before.
Nick Carter, 43, and Aaron’s twin, Angel Cater, 36, remain the only two surviving full siblings. Half-sibling Ginger Lee Carter, 51, passed away in May 2023, but Kaden Brent Carter, 18, another half-sibling, also remains. Bobbie Jean leaves behind her daughter, Bella, her mother, Jane, and her siblings, Nick and Angel. Her father, Robert, sister, Leslie, and brother Aaron, preceded her in death.
