Nick Carter’s sister Bobbie Jean Carter’s cause of death revealed

The cause of death of Nick Carter’s sister, Bobbie Jean Carter has been confirmed, nearly two months after her passing at 41.

Bobbie Jean’s death was caused by intoxication due to the combined effects of fentanyl and methamphetamine, according to the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner in Florida. The medical examiner ruled the death accidental, according to Page Six, who reported the news on Tuesday, February 13.

Bobbie Jean’s mom, Jane Carter, announced the “sudden” passing of her daughter on Saturday, December 23.

“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,” Jane said in a statement shared with TMZ at the time. “When I am able to think clearly, I’ll release a fuller statement; but until then I would request to be left to grieve in private.”

She continued: “[H]owever deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be much greater. So, I would ask the sympathetic to say a prayer for my precious 8-year-old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother.”

Nick, 43, and Aaron Carter’s sister, was found unresponsive in a bathroom the day she died, in a similar manner to her late brother Aaron according to TMZ.

First responders rushed to Bobbie’s Tampa, Florida, residence Saturday morning, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. She was declared dead upon arrival to a nearby hospital.

Deputies revealed that Bobbie Jean, who struggled with substance abuse and addiction throughout her life, was on probation for cocaine possession at the time of her passing.

In June she was arrested for retail theft and drug possession after allegedly attempting to steal $55 of crafts from a Brooksville, Florida, Hobby Lobby.
