When news of Aaron Carter's death surfaced on November 5, 2022, the assumption was that the singer had succumbed to an overdose due to his history of addiction. However, the autopsy results, disclosed months later, revealed a different cause. Similar to several other celebrities in the past, it appears that Carter accidentally drowned in the bathtub after consuming a hazardous combination of substances. The report indicated that he had taken alprazolam, a form of Xanax, and had also inhaled difluoroethane, a chemical present in compressed air cans, known for producing a short-lived but intense high. Inhalation of difluoroethane is extremely dangerous and considered toxic. The interaction between these prescription drugs and the inhalants caused Carter to lose consciousness in the bathtub, where he was later discovered unresponsive by his housekeeper.
