Aaron passed away<\/a> at his home in Lancaster in Los Angeles County on Nov. 5, 2022. He was just 34 years. \u201cHe was found unresponsive this morning by his [fianc\u00e9e]\u00a0Melanie Martin\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>at the home in Lancaster, California,” his rep confirmed to HollywoodLife<\/strong> at the time. “Everyone is so devastated right now.” The cause of death<\/a> was later determined to be a drug related<\/a> accidental drowning.<\/p>\n But Nick, his family, and Aaron’s twin sister Angel Conrad<\/strong><\/a> have managed to move forward, albeit with sadness.<\/a>\u00a0“I’ve been in the Backstreet Boys for the past 30 years, and when I get onstage I am this persona onstage, so to speak,” Nick told the outlet of his newly released single “Superman.” “It’s almost like I’m putting on a costume. But when I’m home, I’m just a normal guy. I have a family, three kids and I’m just Dad back at home. So, in a lot of ways — I’m not saying at all that I’m Superman — it’s just saying that Superman puts on a cape and a costume and goes on and does what he does. But for me, I’m kinda like Clark Kent just back at home. So, in some ways, that’s what it means to me. And then, also, a lot of people can take ‘Superman’ the song and listen to it and maybe they can relate to it in some way.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Aaron left behind a loving family who is still grieving him, including The Backstreet Boys’ Nick, who says he’s still working through the loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":191609843,"featured_media":5155061,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exclude_post_from_river":false,"_cr_original_post":"","_cr_replace_post_id":"","_cr_replacing_post_id":"","mt_seo_title":"Nick Carter Says He's Still 'Processing' Aaron Carter's Death","mt_seo_description":"Nick Carter opened up about the death of his brother Aaron, admitting that he's still 'processing' the tragic passing of the singer.","_pmc_canonical_override":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2023-08-25T20:57:14Z","apple_news_api_id":"951ae1de-6069-4ba5-9bce-2eb7dceebdf7","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2023-08-25T20:57:14Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AlRrh3mBpS6Wbzi633O699w","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[378005375,378005365],"tags":[369892,135267],"_post-options":[378007567,378007568],"coauthors":[378007646],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/nick-carter-admits-hes-still-processing-aaron-carters-death-ss-ftr.jpg?fit=620%2C349","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pc8i1J-lD3S","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5155044"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/191609843"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5155044"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5155044\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5155064,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5155044\/revisions\/5155064"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5155061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5155044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5155044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5155044"},{"taxonomy":"_post-options","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/_post-options?post=5155044"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=5155044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Nick](\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/nick-carter-admits-hes-still-processing-aaron-carters-death-ss-embed1.jpg?resize=620%2C422\")
