Aaron Carter’s twin sister Angel has opened up about her brother’s death and laying him to rest after he died earlier this year.
In this week’s issue of People, she said that once she had the 34 year old’s ashes, she felt the need to “protect” him.
"To lose a twin, it's an out-of-body experience. He's a part of me. And it was like when he died, I had this sense of, 'I've got to get him in my house. I've got to bring him home and protect him,”
Talking about burying her brother at a Los Angeles cemetery called Forest Lawn, she had that she had not wanted anybody to “do anything weird” with them.
"I can't trust that anybody else is not going to exploit him. So at that time, that was my last act of love."
Talking about Aaron, she said by the time of his death, he was someone his loved ones “no longer” recognised.
She said: “He wanted so badly to be happy. He really fought to the end, but he just had too many problems to be fixed. He’d become this person who we no longer recognised. I don’t even think he recognised himself.”
Aaron’s death is not the only one to plague his family as his sister Leslie, who struggled with mental health issues and died in 2012 at the age of 25 from an overdose.
Their dad, Robert, died from a heart attack five years later in 2017 at the age of 65.
Angel said she felt their deaths were a “domino effect” for Aaron’s passing as he was “already in a bad place.”
The I Want Candy singer’s cause of death was revealed in April, five months after he passed away.
An autopsy determined that Aaron drowned in the bath in November last year after taking a version of Xanax called alprazolam, and inhaling difluoroethane, which is used in cans of compressed air.
His death was ruled accidental.
After his family announced his death, Los Angeles County Police Department confirmed that they had attended his residence and found somebody dead.
The statement read: "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."
