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.”

Apollo update transforms the iPhone 14 Pro’s Dynamic Island into a home for ‘Pixel Pals’
The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max may have only arrived yesterday but developers are already dreaming up fun and interesting use cases for Apple’s new Dynamic Island interface. Take Apollo creator Christian Selig, for instance. On Friday, he updated his Reddit client to implement support for “Pixel Pals.” The feature adds a Tamagotchi-like critter that does cute things on top of your phone’s Dynamic Island while you have Apollo open. You can even choose between multiple creatures, including a cat, dog, hedgehog, fox or axolotl.
Okay y’all, I think I found the best idea for the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro. I added a cat that lives up there like a tamagotchi and just hangs out and does cute stuff as you browse Reddit in my app (Apollo). pic.twitter.com/xJJlazHH4E

If you don’t have an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max, don’t worry. You can also add the creatures to your phone as lock screen widgets – provided you have iOS 16 installed. On the subject of iPhone widgets, Google teased one that will function as a shortcut to Chrome’s Dino game.
Selig isn’t the only person doing something creative with the iPhone 14 Pro’s Dynamic Island. In a tweet spotted by The Verge, WaterMinder creator Kriss Smolka showed off Hit the Island, a game that uses the UI element for a Pong-style game. You can download it from the App Store. I can only speak for myself, but these apps make me a bit jealous I’m still rocking an iPhone 12.
Who has an iPhone 14 Pro right now? Need to test this on device asap!

Apollo App Adds ‘Pixel Pals’ to the iPhone 14 Pro Dynamic Island
The app update adds a small little creature into the area above the Dynamic Island on the new iPhone models. It can be customized into a cat, dog, hedgehog, fox, or axolotl, and the little creature simply paces around the Dynamic Island while you browse Reddit.
The new “Dynamic Island Zoo” option for Apollo is opt-in, and it is available with the latest version of the app. Selig has also added the little creatures as Lock Screen widgets, so those who do not have an iPhone with a Dynamic Island can also add a critter to their device.

Earlier this week, Apollo was updated with iOS 16 support, so there are also a number of other Reddit-related widgets that are available for those running the iOS 16 operating system.
Apollo can be downloaded from the App Store for free. [Direct Link]
