According to the report, several sources close to Bobbie Jean's family said relatives believe she went into cardiac arrest at home, though details on her death and the events leading up to it remain unclear at this time.

Aaron Carter died 13 months ago at home in November 2022.
Jane confirmed her daughter's death on Saturday in a statement to multiple outlets, "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."
"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," Jane continued. "So, I would ask the sympathetic to say a prayer for my precious eight-year-old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother."
Angel paid tribute to her sister in an emotional Instagram post.
Following Jane's confirmation of her daughter's death, Aaron's twin sister Angel took to Instagram on Sunday to pay tribute to Bobbie Jean.
"To my older sister Bobbie. You had a great sense of humor, and a lively spirit. Growing up, I was your baby, and you were my best friend," Angel began the heartfelt caption. "Life wasn’t fair to you, that I know. Sometimes, it feels like you didn’t have a shot, no matter what."
"Experiencing innocence instead of being burdened by trauma, pain, and suffering is incredibly important for children, particularly at such a young age. I know why Leslie, Aaron, and now you ended up in the circumstances that you did. I share that pain we experienced during our childhood and I’m sorry you didn’t have an opportunity for a better life."
Angel continued the emotional message by addressing the urgent "need to break down barriers, reduce stigmas, and cultivate a society where seeking mental health support is met with understanding and encouragement."
She continued by noting, "the generational dysfunction stops now," alongside a tag to the official account for On Our Sleeves, an organization providing resources for children's mental health.
"I love you BJ, you’re free now," Angel concluded the tribute post.
