Screams Were Heard at Aaron Carter’s House Before Police Arrived, Investigation Underway

A chaotic and emotional scene took place as singer Aaron Carter was discovered dead in his bathtub on Saturday morning, according to new reports.

TMZ had reported that police responded to a call at about 11 a.m. Saturday that a male had drowned in the tub.

According to the U.K. Daily Mirror, a staff member found Carter’s body in his Lancaster, California, home and was heard to scream, “He’s dead, he’s dead.”

Neighbor Anthony Cheval, a photojournalist, said he first became aware of what had happened when he heard it on a police scanner, according to The Sun.

“I have a police scanner for work and heard the call come in that there was an unresponsive male in the bathtub,” he said.

“My wife is a nurse and we headed over and banged on the door, she had her AED with her,” he said.

“A woman answered the door and was screaming ‘he’s dead, he’s dead’ but wouldn’t let us in because she’d already called the cops,” he said.

Melanie Martin, who had a child with Carter in November 2021, responded after it was clear Carter, 34, was dead.

“I spoke to Melanie afterward and she said it was his maid, and questioned why she wouldn’t let us in,” Cheval said told the Sun.

“Melanie drove up from Orange County, she was distraught,” he said.
