Aaron Carter’s house was sold after the bathroom where he died was redone from top to bottom. TMZ says that Christie Limpus of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices held the open house, and the house sold for $765,000 on Wednesday. The news source said that the house went on the market in April with a price of just under $850,000.
The house has 7 bedrooms and is 4,131 square feet. It also has a pool, a jacuzzi, and a room for four cars. Carter bought the house for about $450,000 in 2019. Notably, TMZ says that the bathroom where Carter’s body was found was completely redone, but no pictures have been shown. All of the money from the sale of the house will go to Carter’s estate and into a trust for his 1-year-old son, Prince.
Carter’s death was first reported by TMZ, but the local sheriff’s office stated at the time that a person had been found and pronounced dead. The police hadn’t said who the dead person was yet. The Los Angeles County Medical-Examiner Coroner’s office told Deadline that Carter was declared dead at 11:14 a.m. on November 5. Someone found the former child pop star unconscious in a bathtub at his home in Lancaster, California. Even though an exam was done, the cause of Carter’s death is still unknown. According to Deadline, “additional tests and studies have been requested and the official cause of death will be made once the results are in.”
After Carter’s sudden death, his brother Nick Carter, who was in the 1990s boy band Backstreet Boys, posted a tribute to him on Instagram. “My heart is broken,” he said in the post. “Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded. I have always held on to the hope that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed.”
Nick went on, “Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss, but the truth is that addiction and mental illness is the real villain here. I will miss my brother more than anyone will ever know. I love you Chizz. Now you can finally have the peace you could never find here on earth….God,Please take care of my baby brother.”
An autopsy was done in April to find out what killed Carter. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has told TMZ that Carter took alprazolam, which is the generic version of Xanax, and breathed compressed difluoroethane, which is the propellant in cans of compressed air, before his death. The department says that after this, Carter was “unable to get out of the bathtub because of the effects” and ended up drowning.
