The authorities added that she was on probation for cocaine possession, but her roommate claimed she had not been using drugs since her release from prison.
Bobbie Jean’s death is under investigation, and toxicology results are pending.
Aaron, 34, was found dead in the bathtub of his Lancaster home in November 2022. Earlier this year, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner told TMZ that Aaron drowned in his bathtub after taking generic Xanax called alprazolam and huffing compressed air.
Carter matriarch Jane confirmed Bobbie Jean’s death to TMZ over the weekend, saying, "I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean; and I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time. When I am able to think clearly, I’ll release a fuller statement; but until then I would request to be left to grieve in private."

So, I would ask the sympathetic to say a prayer for my precious 8-year-old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother."
Preceding Bobbie Jean and Aaron in death was sister Leslie, a singer, who ODed in 2012 at 25, and the brood's dad, Robert, who died at 65 in 2017.
