LESLIE CARTER – DRUG OVERDOSE

Leslie Carter is the sibling of pop singers Nick Carter and Aaron Carter. Although she didn’t reach the same degree of stardom and success as his two brothers, Leslie pursued a singing career and was able to release a single titled Like Wow! that appeared on the Shrek soundtrack. Her career began when she signed a deal with Dreamwork Records for a debut album. Although there was a little delay on her album, the company made sure that it will thrive— and it did.

Sadly, Leslie struggled with depression and anxiety. In 2012, she succumbed to her condition after being found unresponsive in her home in New York. Before that, Carter purportedly complained of feeling ill after falling in the shower. A police report, however, indicated that she overdosed on prescription medication, causing her eventual passing. She was 25 years old at the time— such a young age for someone to end their career.
