The drugs listed on his autopsy report include a generic brand of Xanax called Alprazolam and Difluoroethane, a propellant used for aerosol spray.

Aaron died on November 5, 2022, at the age of 34.
His body was found in the bathtub of his Lancaster, CA, home, which has now been placed back on the market.

His mother later showed graphic photos of the bathtub taken at the scene. Carter struggled with substance abuse issues over the years, and fans worried he had been huffing in the weeks leading up to his death.
