It’s been four months since Aaron Carter died in the bathroom of his home in Lancaster, California.
No official cause of death has been released, as investigators are still awaiting the results of a toxicology report.
The medical examiner confirmed that, despite being found in a bathtub full of water, Aaron did not drown, a circumstance that led many to conclude that the singer died of an overdose.
Police have said there are no signs of foul play, but now Aaron’s mother, Jane Carter, has revealed that she believes her son was murdered.
Jane took to Facebook this week to share some grisly photos from the scene of Aaron’s death.
One of the photos shows a bathtub filled with green water, the coloration apparently due to Carter’s body remaining in the water for hours after his death.
Another shows feces splattered across the bathroom floor, which Jane says is evidence that Aaron was not in the bathtub when he died.
In the caption of the post, Jane wrote that she made the difficult decision to share the photo because she is “still trying to find a real investigation into my son’s death.”
“I wanted to share this photo of the death scene with you all because the coroner wrote it was an accidental drug overdose,” he explained.
“He never investigated as a crime scene because of his addiction,” said the star who has long struggled with addiction and mental health issues, “he added.
Jane then claimed that the police had contaminated the crime scene shortly after they arrived, having apparently concluded that because Carter overdosed, there was no need to take the investigation seriously.
“Look at the photos. They were not taken by the police. But they let people in and out,” he said, adding that police and other personnel continued to “walk around” the bathroom.
Harun’s mother then referred to “death threats” that she said the LAPD failed to properly investigate.
It claims “information of a potential homicide has been around for years” and the police ignored Aaron’s concerns about threats to his life.
“Someone has to be held accountable,” Jane said.
Police have not publicly responded to Jane’s allegations.
A toxicology report from the medical examiner who performed Aaron’s autopsy is expected this month.
