The post continued, “I am completely heartbroken. Thank you all for your love and kind words. We know life is precious and fleeting, and we cherish the time we spend with our loved ones. “This is another reminder to do what I do. I know she is finally at peace.” With God. I love BJ. ”

Investigators with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office found that although Carter was on probation for cocaine possession, “there were no drugs or personal paraphernalia in Carter's room or bathroom. “We did not observe any signs of wrongdoing.”
Bobby Jean's death comes nearly a year after Carter's younger brother, former pop star Aaron Carter, died at age 34.
In November, Carter appeared emotional when interviewed about her brother's death.

Carter also lost her father, Robert Carter, in 2017, and her other sister, Leslie, in 2012.
After his father's death, he said of his family in 2017, “We're taking it one day at a time and dealing with it the best way we can.” “Nobody can prepare you for something like that, no matter the issues with your family. He's still my father. So naturally I'm conflicted, I'm sad, I'm sad, I'm angry, and I'm going through a lot of things along the way.” We've been through all the different things we do.'' But again, we're dealing with this the best way we can. ”
