As per The Hollywood Reporter, no cause of death was unveiled. However, a spokesperson from the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed of a 'suspicious death' which occurred at Carter's home.

A mournful Nick Carter subsequently took to Instagram to share numerous pictures of him and Aaron from their childhood.

"My heart is broken. Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded. I have always held on to the hope that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed. Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss, but the truth is that addiction and mental illness is the real villain here" he wrote.

Nick was last seen as a contestant in the fourth season of 'The Masked Singer'. (ANI)
