Days after his tragic death, people close to him have stepped forward to claim that the late pop singer was obsessed with his Backstreet Boy brother Nick Carter.
“I wish he could have done a little more as a blood relative to Aaron,” Aaron’s friend, Gary Madatyan said of Nick to Page Six. “I’m not judging him. I’m not saying anything bad because I respect him. He’s a talented artist. I love him, but Aaron had an obsession with his brother.”
He added, “Mentally ill people think differently. He was … pushing, poking to get that attention. Aaron did things he should have never done to his brother, but we’re talking about mental health. He was crying out for help.”
Carter was found dead in his bathtub on Saturday after the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to Carter’s residence in Lancaster shortly after 11 a.m. Carter was pronounced dead at the scene.
