Bobbie Jean Carter was found unresponsive in her bathroom on the day she died, in a similar fashion to that of her late brother, Aaron Carter. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in Florida revealed the details surrounding her passing to Page Six on Wednesday.
They explained that first responders discovered her on Saturday morning following a call to her house. From there, they took her to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Tampa. Medical examiners then pronounced her dead. An exact cause of death remains unconfirmed. Bobbie Jean was arrested for retail theft and drug possession back in June after having fentanyl in her purse. Her roommates, however, say she’s been off drugs completely since landing on probation.

Bobbie Jean’s mom, Jane Carter, announced her passing over the weekend in a statement noted by Page Six. “I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean, and I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time,” Jane said, referring to the deaths of son Aaron and daughter Leslie Carter. “When I am able to think clearly, I’ll release a fuller statement, but until then, I would request to be left to grieve in private. However deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be much greater.” She concluded by asking for prayers for her “precious 8-year-old granddaughter, Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother.”
Police do not suspect foul play while Bobbie Jean's death remains under investigation. Be on the lookout for further updates on Bobbie Jean Carter’s death on HotNewHipHop.
