Nick And Aaron Carter's Sister Leslie Died Of Prescription Drug Overdose, Police Report Says

Leslie Carter, sister of Backstreet Boys star Nick Carter and solo singer Aaron Carter, died because of a prescription drug overdose according to a police report.

ImageThe 25 year-old American pop singer’s body was found in her father’s home on January 31st, next to boxes and packages of prescription drugs – which the police reported as Olanzapine, cyclobenzaprine (a muscle relaxer), and Xanax. The drugs are reportedly used to treat Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and anxiety problems.

While the reports currently suggest a drug overdose, a full autopsy is under-way to find the exact cause of death in the star, after an initial autopsy was found to be inconclusive – though it had been known she had been struggling with an addiction to prescription drugs prior to her death.

Leslie’s career included one unreleased album (‘Like Wow!’), and a couple of singles – including her single ‘Like Wow!’ which featured on Disney Pixar’s hit Shrek. She had also previously formed a band called ‘The Other Half’, but they split in 2009. She was famed for her appearances on the ‘The House of Carters’, a reality show based on their family.
