A Los Angeles Sheriff's Department spokesperson
on Saturday afternoon confirmed to Reuters that deputies had
found a deceased person at Carter's residence, and that homicide
investigators were on their way to the scene, but said they
could not provide further details.
There were no reports that foul play was suspected in Carter's
death.
Carter, 34, released his debut album in 1997 when he was just 9
years old, becoming a child pop star who frequently appeared on
Nickelodeon, according to TMZ and The Hollywood Reporter. He
turned to rap later in his music career, and also acted in
productions such as the Broadway Show "Seussical."
He wrestled with addiction issues for years, sometimes sharing
them publicly.
In a 2019 appearance on the celebrity wellness TV show "The
Doctors," he held up a bag full of prescription drugs that he
said he took after being diagnosed with multiple personality
disorder, schizophrenia, manic depression and anxiety.
Carter went to drug rehabilitation centers on multiple
occasions, most recently earlier this year, in an effort to
regain custody of his son, Prince, according to The Hollywood
Reporter.
