Leslie Carter Died Of Drug Overdose


As I guessed yesterday, Leslie Carter, the sister of Nick and Aaron Carter, has died of something tragic. If you are 25 years old and your family is shocked that you died, you can kind of rule out the various forms of cancers and other illnesses because your family would be expecting it. Apparently yesterday the truth started slowly coming out and it appears that Leslie was addicted to prescription drugs and she is presumed to have died of an overdose. Now, I guess we will find out if some doctor gave them to her or if she got them on the street and how long she has been addicted.

  4. Read a story yesterday that said she was addicted to Xanax and had moved from Canada to New York to live with her family to try to kick the habit. They said they went shopping (or somewhere) and thought she would be ok being left alone for an hour, but when they came home she was unconscious, then died.

  6. I am surprised it wasn't ruled natural causes like: Murphy, Monjack, Casey Johnson & Haim... I always thought it was SUCH a coincidence that the main cause was NOT drugs. sketch.

  8. yourface, it's probably because she isn't really famous or rich. Her autopsy couldn't be bought.

  10. When you're addicted to these things, it's so easy to forget when you took your last one, or to think that just one or two more won't hurt. The biggest mistake addicts make is thinking their bodies can handle more than they can.
    Poor girl.

  11. I was wondering if it might be suicide. I didn't know you could overdose on Xanax, but from the few episodes of Intervention I've seen, people love that stuff.

  12. I was wondering the same, @RQ. All so sad.

  13. @chopchop -- That's what I keep thinking. That poor 8-month-old baby girl will now grow up without her mother. Beyond tragic.

  14. Casey johnson was really rich and maybe Brittney Murphey with her King of the Hill money, but Corey Haim and Brittney's husband? Not so much.

  15. My sister is addicted to prescription drugs (painkillers). Stories like this make me worried.

    Really sad that Leslie Carter left behind a baby who is not even a year old.

  17. This from Popbitch today:
    >> RIP Leslie Carter <<
    Backstreet sister remembered

    We were sad, but not that surprised,
    to hear that Leslie Carter, sister
    of BSB's Nick and Aaron, died this
    week, aged only 25, of a suspected
    overdose. As we always said, the
    Carters are the 21st century version
    of the Jackson clan - with pushy
    showbiz parents and a whole brood
    of messed-up children.

    Leslie, when only 14, had been earmarked
    by the family to be the new Britney or
    Christina. She got a $400k album deal
    with Interscope, and a single on the
    Shrek soundtrack.

    The album never got released. Poor
    Leslie wasn't cut out to be a pop
    superstar, had panic attacks and
    put on weight. (You can see how weirdly
    stretched her image was to try and
    hide this on her single, Like Wow.)

    Knowing now that she tried to escape
    this world by joining an indie band,
    moving to Canada, marrying the drummer
    and having a baby, this Esquire article
    from 2001 about her single's videoshoot
    makes heartbreaking reading. RIP Leslie.
