Melanie Martin, Aaron Carter’s ex-fiancée and the mother of his one-year-old son Prince, has broken her silence after the child star’s cause of death was revealed on Tuesday.
Carter’s shock death was confirmed late last year, with his representatives telling Metro.co.uk in a statement: ‘We are extremely saddened and shocked to confirm the passing of Aaron Carter today.’
They added: ‘At the moment his cause of death is being investigated.’
This week, autopsy results from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner stated the I Want Candy hitmaker took prescription pills and huffed before his death.
According to the documents, seen by TMZ, they also say Carter drowned in the bathtub of his Lancaster home, but he took alprazolam – generic Xanax – and inhaled compressed difluoroethane, which is the propellant used in cans of compressed air.
However, Carter’s on-off former partner Martin told the outlet that the report hasn’t given her closure and that it ‘doesn’t make sense’.

‘The results of the autopsy are not closure for me,’ she shared.
‘It claims death is by drowning but also adds he was wearing a t-shirt and necklace in the bathtub which doesn’t make sense, why would he be in a bathtub with clothes on?’
Martin added: ‘I am still in shock and still miss Aaron every day. I don’t understand the chain of events and this report only has us asking more questions.’
The report states that the US star became ‘incapacitated while in the bathtub due to the effects’ of the drugs.
He ultimately and sadly slipped under the water and drowned.

His death has been officially ruled accidental.
Also according to the autopsy report, there were multiple cans of Surf Onn compressed air found in the star’s bathroom and bedroom.
Authorities are also said to have found several prescription bottles in the home, and several items of clothing found near his bathtub.
She celebrated their child’s first birthday just weeks after Carter died, with Martin issuing a statement shortly after the tragic news broke.
