Nick Carter’s tragic sister Bobbie Jean was ‘found unresponsive in bathroom’ of Florida home like late brother Aaron
MORE information has been released surrounding Nick Carter's sister Bobbie Jean's death, as she was reportedly found unresponsive in the bathroom.
The news is shocking to hear as her late younger brother Aaron Carter was found in a similar scenario last year.
On Wednesday, TMZ reported that first responders were dispatched to Bobbie Jean's house in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday morning, where they discovered her body, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
They rushed Bobbie Jean, 41, to the hospital, where she was declared deceased.
The sheriff further shared that deputies discovered that the Backstreet Boys band member's sister was on probation for cocaine possession, though her roommates insisted she had been clean since her release from prison.
No narcotics or drug paraphernalia were found at Bobbie Jean's home, and there were no signs of foul play.
It comes one year after Aaron, 34, was found dead in his bathroom following a long battle with substance abuse.
DEVASTATING LOSS
Carter matriarch, Jane, confirmed her daughter's death to TMZ.
"I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean.

"When I am able to think clearly, I’ll release a fuller statement; but until then I would request to be left to grieve in private."
She went on: "However deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be much greater.
"So, I would ask the sympathetic to say a prayer for my precious eight-year-old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother."
TROUBLED PAST
Bobbie Jean had a troubled past and faced numerous legal issues.
In June, the House of Carters alum was arrested for allegedly stealing arts and crafts from a Hobby Lobby store in Hernando County, Florida.
The items were estimated to cost slightly over $55.
Law enforcement also reportedly found fentanyl in her possession.
And in 2022, the former reality star was arrested for battery and accused of assaulting two women, whom she claimed attacked her sister, Angel, 34.
Bobbie Jean was the second oldest of the Carter siblings after Nick, 43.
She was followed by their late sister, Leslie, and Aaron and Angel, who were twins.
Leslie passed away in 2012 after an overdose of prescription medication.
The family is also still mourning Aaron after he drowned in the bathtub of his Lancaster estate on November 5, 2022.
