Cause of Death Revealed for Back Street Boys Singer’s Sister

In late December, fans of the Back Street Boys were devastated to hear of the death of Nick Carter’s sister, Bobbie Jean Carter.

At the age of 41, there were a lot of questions about how someone so young could have died unexpectedly.

Those questions were answered by the disturbing coroner’s report.

Another ‘Accidental’ Death

According to reports on the day of her death, her roommate found Carter unresponsive on the floor of her bathroom very early in the morning on December 23.

Carter was then rushed to Tampa’s St. Joseph's Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 8:02 a.m.

The coroner’s report was released this week, showing that she had died from “intoxication by the combined effects of fentanyl and methamphetamine.”

Carter had a drug history due to a medical diagnosis of schizophrenia, as well as an arrest for possession of cocaine, although her roommate insisted she had not done drugs since her arrest and release.

This family has a long history of tragedy, with brother Aaron Carter having died in 2022 from an accidental drowning after inhaling difluoroethane and taking alprazolam.

Leslie Carter, who also had a history of mental health issues, died at the age of 25 from an apparent overdose.

Earlier this year, Nick Carter opened up about the death of his sibling, stating, "It may take a lifetime to fully process the loss my family has endured over the years — most recently, with the sudden passing of our sister Bobbie Jean.

"I am completely heartbroken."

Their mother, Jane, also commented, stating, "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.”

It is tough for any parent to lose a child, let alone three.
