Tragedy has once again struck the Carter family as Bobbie Jean Carter, the 41-year-old sister of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter and the late pop sensation Aaron Carter, has passed away. The news of her sudden demise has left her mother, Jane Carter, in a state of shock, as reported by TMZ. People magazine has since confirmed the heartbreaking development, leaving the family grappling with the loss of another beloved member.

Bobbie Jean Carter, affectionately known as BJ, was the third child of Jane Carter to meet an untimely end. Her younger brother, Aaron Carter, tragically passed away in November of the previous year at the age of 34. The circumstances surrounding Aaron’s death involved a bathtub drowning incident, stemming from a combination of inhaling compressed gas and consuming alprazolam, a generic variant of Xanax. The family had already endured the loss of another sibling, Leslie Carter, who succumbed to an overdose in 2012 at the age of 25.
