Friends of Aaron Carter believe he may have suffered a tragic relapse prior to his death at 34, claiming he had plans to go to the studio and did not seem suicidal.

Aaron had battled substance abuse for over a decade, enrolling in a month-long outpatient program through Lionrock Recovery just a few weeks ago, RadarOnline.com can confirm.

"I decided to enroll myself into that program," he said in September, clarifying the reason for his stay. "There's been no relapses. I haven't had any relapses ... it's just triggers are big right now for me. You know, so, I just, I want my son back."

Some of his loved ones "had begged him to go to inpatient rehab" in recent weeks over concerns about his "erratic behavior," according to a new report from The Sun published on Monday.

It marked his fifth time in rehabilitation.
