Aaron Carter’s neighbors ‘heard chilling screams when body was found as pals fear he relapsed in crippling drug battle’
AARON Carter was found “unresponsive” in a bathtub by a staff member after he died of what friends suspect was a drug overdose, sources have exclusively told The U.S. Sun.
Neighbors said they heard Aaron‘s employee screaming “he’s dead, he’s dead” when she discovered the tragic singer and reality star, 34, at his home in Lancaster, California, on Saturday morning.

His shocked on/off partner Melanie Martin, 30, was later spotted at the scene, appearing distraught as she sat outside the house.
Homicide detectives were dispatched, a standard procedure for deaths under such circumstances.
A friend told The U.S. Sun that they believe Aaron did not kill himself and that he had plans to go into the studio to record new music next week.
The devastating news comes just weeks after Carter exclusively told The U.S. Sun in his last-ever interview that he had checked into rehab in an effort to get his son Prince back.

Melanie’s mom was granted custody of the 10-month-old baby boy under a court order, Aaron claimed in the interview.
In September, Aaron enrolled in a month-long outpatient program at the Los Angeles-based Lionrock rehab center.
But close friends believe he may have suffered a relapse after facing crippling addiction issues for over a decade.
Some in his inner circle had begged him to go to inpatient rehab in the last fortnight over concerns about his erratic behavior.

Sources said Carter had been smoking marijuana late at night and at times “seemed out of it and high” when talking to friends.
Following the tragedy, Aaron’s mom Jane is believed to be flying to California from her home in Florida.
His brother Nick, who is currently on tour in Europe with the Backstreet Boys, is understood to be “devastated” especially as Aaron had been trying to heal their long-standing rift for months.
A spokesman for Aaron told The U.S. Sun: “It is with great regret that I confirm Aaron Carter was found unresponsive this morning in his home in Palmdale, California.
“The family has been notified and will be flying out to Los Angeles.
“Aaron worked very hard towards the end of his life in recovery, to be a good father and to make amends with his family.
“Unfortunately without proper recovery facilities available in our country and open borders, this is why we have an epidemic.”
‘CHAOTIC’ SCENE
An eyewitness at the scene on Saturday afternoon said it was “chaos” with police cars and new vans, along with neighbors standing around in the street.
Melanie could be seen wiping tears away and hugging friends and family members as she watched from the sidelines.
Tony Cheval, a local photojournalist, told The U.S. Sun: “I have [a] police scanner for work and heard the call come in that there was an unresponsive male in the bathtub.
“My wife is a nurse and we headed over and banged on the door, she had her AED with her.
“A woman answered the door and was screaming ‘he’s dead, he’s dead’ but wouldn’t let us in because she’d already called the cops.
“I spoke to Melanie afterward and she said it was his maid, and questioned why she wouldn’t let us in.
“Melanie drove up from Orange County, she was distraught.”
‘DISTRAUGHT’
A close friend told The U.S. Sun that they believe he did not commit suicide.
Aaron had been planning studio sessions with artists next week in Los Angeles to lay down new tunes for an album.
He had assured the friend that he was “excited” to showcase new music and work with artists, who were flying into LA specifically for a duet.
Aaron spoke to one of his handlers at around 6pm on Friday night going over his recording plans for the next week.
TRAGIC DETAILS
The friend said: “Aaron did not commit suicide. He was planning to work on music in the next week with some artists from out of town.
“He was locking down [the] studio, planning travel logistics, and seemed very excited.
“Any suggestion he was suicidal last night when he was in contact with his friends and team is wrong.
“Hearing the news this morning was absolutely devastating.
“Aaron had a good heart and was a really talented artist.
“He was keen to show the world he was a great father and continue strongly with his music career.”
He had a good heart.
Source told The U.S. Sun
The source added: “Aaron was always adamant he took medication and pills that were prescribed by doctors.
“He would swear blind he did not take narcotics like cocaine.”
Aaron appeared with Melanie in his last-ever interview with The U.S. Sun on September 13.
In this final exclusive chat with The U.S. Sun, Aaron denied that he had a prescription pill and opioid addiction despite videos that appeared to show him demanding Xanax.
Fans feared for the 1990s icon’s mental and physical well-being after he appeared under the influence of drugs in disturbing social media live streams.

The tattooed artist, who had survived 100 seizures from a “dusting” addiction, spent $200,000 so far this year on care to make the couple a “fully functional family”.
Aaron said: “I haven’t had any relapses or anything like that, it’s just triggers are big right now for me [and] I want my son back.”
James Bulger’s mum pleads with PM to keep killer Jon Venables behind bars as parole hearing to be heard ‘within days’

Little James was just two-years-old when he was tragically killed in 1993[/caption]
The heartbroken mother urged the PM to honour a previous Tory vow to tighten parole laws for dangerous criminals.
Denise wrote to Miss Truss insisting: “He still poses a serious danger to other families like ours.”
Little James was just two-years-old when he was tragically taken and killed by two schoolboys in one of the most horrific crimes of the twentieth century.
The youngster was led to his death in Bootle, Merseyside in 1993, by warped Robert Thompson and Jon Venables.

The depraved duo were only ten-years-old when they became the country’s youngest murderers in 250 years.
Venables, 40, faces a parole hearing within days and has twice reoffended since murdering the tot, reports The Mirror.
But he could be back on the streets if it is felt he is rehabilitated, having served his minimum sentence for possessing child sex images.
Denise commented: “We need the Prime Minister or her new Justice Secretary to step in immediately to make sure my son’s killer stays firmly behind bars where he belongs. We are calling on them to, please, intervene now.”

Denise had held a landmark meeting with then Justice Secretary Dominic Raab in June, who promised stricter legislation around the parole given to dangerous offenders.
She described it as “my biggest step forward in 29 years in justice for James”.
But a day after Ms Truss became PM last month, she sacked Mr Raab and shelved the planned Bill of Rights reform
The Bill included laws to strengthen the powers of ministers to veto the release of high-risk prisoners.
Denise said her representatives have sent five emails in the past five weeks to the MoJ asking for an update on previous discussions with Mr Raab but have heard nothing.
She added: “I feel like they’ve cut us off. We’ve not had a single reply to any emails asking what is going on with the assurances that were made.”
Regarding her letter to the PM she said: “I’ve got a list of questions I want to put to her and answers that I need. I don’t want to be fobbed off.
“I am saying exactly how I feel. I’m saying how I feel so let down, again.
“When we had our success with Mr Raab some sceptical people told us not to trust the Tories, but we were certain this was not something they could renege on. But they’ve done it. I guess they were right.”
New Justice Secretary Brandon Lewis can still intervene to halt Venables’ freedom and has reportedly offered to meet Denise next week.
Speaking of Mr Lewis’s offer, Denise added: “This is a positive gesture but there is a time when the talking has to stop and action has to be taken.”
While a MoJ spokesman said of the offer: “He shares her desire to reform the parole process to protect the public from the most dangerous offenders.”
They reportedly pointed out the emails from Denise’s representatives were sent to two people who had left with Mr Raab and hadn’t added forwarding information to their accounts.
After being taken, Venables and Thompson walked James for two and half miles and were spotted by 38 people – some of whom challenged the pair.
The pair told passers-by that the distressed toddler was their younger brother or that he was lost and they were taking him to a local police station.
James was taken to a railway line and tortured, beat and sexually assaulted.
They poured modelling paint into his eyes, stoned him and clubbed him with bricks and dropped a 22lb iron bar on him.
Twisted Venables and Thompson then weighted his head down with rubble and lay him across railway tracks hoping he would be hit by a train to make the murder look like an accident.
Jamie, who suffered 42 injuries in total, was sliced in half by a train and his body discovered two days later.

The child killers were released aged 18 in 2001 with new identities. Thompson, 39, has not reoffended.
But Venables was sent back to jail in 2010 and 2017 after being caught with child sex abuse images on his PC.

NATIVE AMERICAN ‘WAR DRUMS’ Heard by Western Pennsylvania Hikers
A western Pennsylvania resident and his girlfriend were geocaching in a PA State Game Land. As they were hiking through the woods, they both began to hear unexplained rhythmic drumming.
I received the following account from Kyle & Cam at Expanded Perspectives.
“I’ve got an incident of hearing drumming in the woods. To this day, one of the oddest occurrences I’ve ever experienced. In the summer of 2014, my girlfriend at the time and I decided to go Geocaching. I had gone out a few times before with friends and really enjoyed it. She was new to the whole concept. So I looked up a geocache close by, logged the coordinates into my GPS, and off we went.
This geocache took us out into the State Game Lands in Western Pennsylvania. So we parked in a designated parking lot and began our hike into the woods. It was the afternoon of a hot and humid Pennsylvania day and the location was only supposed to be about half a mile from the car.
As we are following the GPS down a clearing with woods about 100 feet to either side of us we began to hear drumming to our left. Kind of far off but it still seemed like we should be able to see the origin of the sound. I asked if she heard it too, which thankfully she did. We both thought it was pretty strange but after about 10 seconds it faded out and we began our search again.
After walking about 50 yards further, the drumming returned, louder this time. It sounded like Native American war drums. We stopped and peered into the woods, we saw absolutely nothing. The only excuse I could think of is that maybe there’s a Boy Scout camp nearby, which is a flimsy explanation at best. We listened for a few seconds, then I grabbed her hand, did a 180, and power walked back through the clearing, the drums fading with every step. We didn’t say anything to each other on the hike back, just got in the car and left.
As we drove down the dirt back road lined with trees, I looked for anything that could be the source of the drumming. There wasn’t another living soul in the area until we reached the main highway.” T
Witness notes: This https://youtu.be/u8VX2ot6xs4 is the closest match to what we heard.
NOTE: I have been made aware of a similar phenomenon reported in PA State Game Land #244 a while back. This is in Jefferson County, PA. The Iroquois Nation dominated the region in the 17th century. These were predominantly made up of, what was referred to by the settlers as the Mohawk. Their great chiefs were Cornplanter and Guyasutha. This tribe was the most numerous, powerful, and warlike of the Iroquois nation, and comprised the Indians of Northwestern Pennsylvania. Lon
