Aaron Carter’s manager says the pop singer was in poor physical health in the days leading up to his death.
“He looked thin. He was extremely tired,” Taylor Helgeson told Page Six.
“He just looked like he needed to be doing anything but working. He looked like he needed to be taking care of him.”
Helgeson didn’t say whether or not he helped to care for his client.
“He didn’t seem okay. Now, when I say that, I think it’s really important to kind of context that. He didn’t seem okay physically … [but] mentally, he was the most excited I’ve seen him in months. He was very intelligent and he was very conscious of what people wanted to see from him.”
Carter was found dead in the bathtub of his family home. He was surrounded by pill bottles and cans of compressed air.
Taylor says he will not yet posthumously release Aaron’s music but that when he does, he will ensure everything “goes through the correct channels” to financially benefit the late star’s baby boy.
