Nick Carter's sister Bobbie Jean was found lifeless in the bathroom, as was her younger brother Aaron at the time of his tragic death from an “accidental overdose.”
First responders found the 41-year-old in the bathroom of her Tampa, Florida, home Saturday morning and took her to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office told TMZ on Wednesday.
Bobbie Jean, whose daughter will remain with her mother, was on probation for cocaine possession when she died, according to law enforcement. However, her roommates had informed them that she had not used any narcotics since her release from prison.
Interestingly, TMZ reports that the sheriff did not find any narcotics or drug paraphernalia in Bobbie Jean's bedroom or bathroom and there were no signs of crime.

A Carter family source told People that the eight-year-old is currently with her grandmother following Bobbie's death.

Jane opened up about her heartbreaking loss in a statement to TMZ when news of her daughter's death broke.
“I am shocked to learn 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.”
“When I am able to think clearly, I will make a more detailed explanation; but until then I would like to ask that I leave my grief alone.'
She added: “However 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.”
“So I would like to ask those of compassion to say a prayer for my precious eight-year-old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now left without her mother too.”
Fans may know Bobbie Jean from her appearance on the reality show House of Carters, which aired in 2006.
She, like her late brother Aaron and her late sister Leslie, struggled with substance abuse.
Aaron died in November 2022 at his home in Lancaster, California, from accidental drowning caused by inhaling difluoroethane and ingesting alprazolam, the generic form of brand-name Xanax. He was 34.

Leslie died in 2012 at the age of 25 from a drug overdose caused by a toxic combination of prescription medications.
In June, Bobbie was arrested for shoplifting over an incident at Hobby Lobby and was placed on suicide watch after threatening to take her own life.
Investigators determined she was in possession of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid similar to morphine but 50 to 100 times more powerful.
If Bobbie Jean actually died of a heart attack, as her family reportedly believes, her drug use may have contributed, according to the National Library of Medicine.
Aaron's team exclusively told in a statement that it had been a year full of loss and tragedy for the family.
“We know that Aaron is in heaven with his sisters and reunited. “On behalf of the beloved Aaron Carter, his team extends condolences to his serving siblings, mother and extended family.”
“This year has definitely been one of such loss and tragedy. “May you be filled with love and comfort from the support of your fans and friends during this difficult time.”
'You are not alone. We know that Aaron is in heaven and reunited with his sisters. May they rest in peace.'
