While the “I Want Candy” singer, 34, admitted to battling mental illness and substance abuse in the past — police reportedly found multiple cans of compressed air and prescription pills in Carter’s home at the time of his death — his behavior in recent weeks had many fearing the worst. “Aaron had fallen into a dark place. He’d been pushing people who cared for him away,” a source tells Us, noting that things were “not good” with his on-off fiancée, Melanie Martin.
