Nearly two years after Aaron Carter’s death, his twin sister, Angel Carter, continues to turn her pain into purpose.

“After Aaron passed away, I said, ‘We have got to do something to continue the conversation about mental health and we’ve got to use his platform to turn it into something positive,’” Angel exclusively told Us Weekly at Cirque du Soleil’s KOOZA Los Angeles premiere on Thursday, October 24. “[Turning] Aaron’s platform into something that is positive and meaningful to society, I know Aaron better than anybody, and that is exactly what he in his right mind would have wanted to do.”

“Unfortunately, because of mental health issues and drug addiction and dysfunction within the family, he lost sight of who he was,” she continued. “I hope to be a vessel for him to continue that conversation and really turn my family’s narrative around.”

On November 5, 2022, Aaron was found dead at his California residence. He was 34. According to the coroner’s report, the “I Want Candy” singer drowned in a bathtub due to the effects of difluoroethane and alprazolam. His death was ruled an accident.

Prior to Aaron Carter’s death, he had an estranged bond with sibling Nick Carter. “My brother and I have always had an up and down relationship,” the “I Want Candy” performer, who died in November 2022, exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2017. “We’re brothers — what do you expect? We both do the same thing too, […]

With help from her husband of 10 years Corey Conrad, Angel continues to use her voice to raise awareness about mental health.  She also wants fans to remember her brother as a talented singer who was kind to everyone he met.

“Aaron was such a sweetheart deep down. He really was,” Angel told Us. “He was a good human.”

“I always say this about both of my brothers is that at the end of the day, they’re both really humble, down to earth people,” she added while referencing both Aaron and Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter. “I always joke with friends and say, ‘Nick just drives a Ford pickup truck every day when he’s not being a Backstreet Boy.’ Growing up in Florida and coming from the family that we did, at the end of the day, we’re just really down to earth people. We’re all the same.”
