Aaron Carter's cause of death has been confirmed in his autopsy report.
The late star died on November 5 last year at the age of 34. He was found dead in a bath tub in his home Lancaster, California.
His autopsy report, which was obtained by TMZ, has revealed that the late singer drowned in his bathtub after taking alprazolam, a generic version of Xanax, and inhaling compressed difluoroethane, which is a propellant used in cans of compressed air.
The report is said to state that Aaron became "incapacitated while in the bathtub due to the effects" of the drugs, which resulted in him slipping underneath the bath water and drowning.
His death was officially ruled as 'accidental'.
Aaron's ex-fiancee and the mother of his young child told the publication the findings "are not closure for me".
Melanie Martin said: "It claims death is by drowning but also adds he was wearing a t-shirt and necklace in the bathtub which don’t make sense, why would he be in a bathtub with clothes on?
"I am still in shock and still miss Aaron every day. I don’t understand the chain of events and this report only has us asking more questions."
The death of Aaron, who is the younger brother of Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter, was announced in November last year.
A representative of Carter's team confirmed the news to the PA news agency.
In a statement, they said: "We are extremely saddened and shocked to confirm the passing of Aaron Carter today.
"At the moment his cause of death is being investigated. We ask that you give the family time and they will have more information when available. We cannot express the outpouring of love coming in."
His devastated brother Nick paid tribute to him following his death.
Nick wrote: "My heart is broken. Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded.
"I have always held on to the hope that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed."
