Los Angeles: American singer Aaron Carter, aged 34 years, was found dead in his bathtub on Saturday at his house in Lancaster, California.
The singer, who was the brother of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, rose to fame with his album "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)," the tabloid website TMZ said, reported NDTV.
The police reportedly told AFP that the officers who visited Carter’s home on Sunday morning found the body but were unable to identify it. Carter’s manager, however, is learned to have kept from responding to AFP queries immediately.
Born on December 7, 1987, in Tampa, Florida, Carter debuted publicly at the age of 7 years and released his first album at the age of 9 years, in 1997.
His album "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)" sold more than three million copies, making him a teen heartthrob. Carter also became a regular on the preteen Nickelodeon and Disney shows, and appeared on the popular "Lizzie McGuire." The singer reportedly toured with the boy band The Backstreet Boys, with his brother, and Britney Spears too. His next album, "Oh Aaron," was also a thumping success.
While his success rate subsided a bit with time, Carter remained in the public eye, and appeared in reality shows and off-Broadway productions, releasing new music online too.
