“Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they received a 911 call at 11 AM Saturday that a male had drowned in the tub,” said the outlet. Those sources also said homicide detectives had been dispatched to the scene but that there was no evidence of foul play.
TMZ also said that Carter’s home was surrounded by caution tape, and noted his struggles with addiction.
