Her death occurred on a Saturday morning in Florida, although the details surrounding the incident remain unclear. She was known as BJ to friends and family and had played a role in the music industry.

During the peak of her brothers' fame, particularly Aaron's, Bobbie Jean worked as a wardrobe stylist and makeup artist. She was also featured on the reality TV show "House of Carters," appearing in eight episodes.

Since then, she led a life away from the limelight, unlike her famous siblings. Today, the remaining Carter siblings are Nick and Angel, and several half and step-siblings.

A year has passed since the Carter family faced the heartbreaking loss of Aaron. Nick, Aaron's brother and a member of the Backstreet Boys, shared that the family is still coming to terms with the tragedy.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner revealed that his death was caused by drowning after inhaling difluoroethane and consuming alprazolam.

Nick expressed a desire to find a meaningful way forward, stating, "I don't think we will ever really get over it. It's been a lot for us, and we are finding ways to try and take a really tragic situation in our family and do something with it."
