Awrongful death lawsuit filed on behalf of Aaron Carter’s toddler, 23-month-old Princeton Lyric, blames doctors and pharmacies for his father’s drug-induced drowning last year.

The “I Want Candy” crooner died in the bathtub of his California home the morning of Nov. 5, 2022. His housekeeper found him fully submerged in water and immediately phoned 911.

The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner later listed his cause of death as drowning under the effects of Xanax and inhaling difluoroethane.

According to Prince’s lawsuit — filed by his mother and Carter’s fiancee, Melanie Martin — doctors prescribed the singer hydrocodone, oxycodone and alprazolam with no medical justification. They were also aware of Carter’s “mental health and psychiatric condition,” but still opted to write him the prescriptions, TMZ reported.
What’s more, Walgreens, one of several defendants named in the suit, should have taken issue with giving Carter opioids when considering the quantities and his past struggles with addiction.

Carter was open about his issues. He previously admitted his sister Leslie, who died from an overdose in 2012, introduced him to huffing — the practice of inhaling fumes from household items.

“Started when I was about 16,” he said on an episode of “The Doctors.”

Carter also revealed that after his stint on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2009, he started going to Staples and Office Depot to purchase inhalants, “buying it with cash so it wouldn’t be reported on receipts or anything like that, so no one could trace me.”

“I was huffing because I was really f—ing stupid and sad, but this is really no excuse,” he added. “I was huffing because I’m a drug addict.”

Carter, the younger brother of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, shot to fame at just 9 years old, following the release of his self-titled debut album in 1997. His follow-up album, 2000’s “Aaron’s Party (Come Get It),” sold over 3 million copies in the U.S.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.

If successful, more drs will be afraid to script legit meds. But i hope the son wins the lawsuit.

They have to quit "lumping" everyone into the same pile...
Not everybody that takes this or that is an addict or abuser.

The folks that have legitimate health reasons and take things
just to have a semi-normal exitance are not even in the same
category ... It has to be a case by case interaction ...

Don't damn me for others B$ ,,,

Why Walgreens? What couldthey have done? Do we really want the pharmacy to second guess the Dr when there is no medical
reason to do so?

At some point you would think that people need to become responsible for their actions and not try to blame others for their failures
The son may be experiencing grief, but my guess is that he knew of the problems all along and never did anything about it

His sister died from huffing. I cannot imagine being so desperate for some sort of high that i would try inhaling chemicals around the house.

My Lord they are dropping like flies.

I can only pray that once he started to drown or whatever they listed as cause of death, that the Lord God revealed himself to him.

Or the devil. When i was young and trying to pull off a suicide attempt, it must have been working as I saw Lucifer and he began to rip me to shreds. I screamed for Jesus. At that moment my sister entered the room, a woman of prayer also, and begged me to have tea and toast. I did. I lived. I never tried that shit again. Cause now I know that satan is as real as Jesus.

So if any of you are young twenties or so, and are that desperate, please, please talk to me, family and Jesus.

*i was abused continuously as a child, and yeah i tried another time and had to have my stomach pumped. I don't usually talk about this shit but in this desperate times, I want to let u know many of us care about you. And will try to help with whatever u r going thru*

Please. There really is an afterlife.
