Melanie Martin is questioning the autopsy results of her former fiancéAaron Carter.
According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner, the 34-year-old singer accidentally drowned Nov. 5 after inhaling difluoroethane and taking alprazolam, but Martinhas told TMZthat his official cause of death is “not closure for me.”
Difluoroethane is a gas often used in cans of compressed air, which can be huffed to produce a high, while alprazolam is the generic form of brand-name Xanax.

Martin isn’t the only loved one who has rejected the circumstances of Carter’s death.
Last month, the “I Want Candy” singer’s mother, Jane Schneck, posted graphic photos of the bathroom in which her son died on her Facebook page, and alleged that he was the subject of death threats.
“Still trying to get a real investigation for the death of my son Aaron Carter,” she began in her post.

Carter was found dead last fall after a house sitter discovered his body in the bathroom. Prescription pills and drug paraphernalia were found in his bedroom. Police sources at the time believed that he lost consciousness and drowned.
Despite a roller-coaster relationship, theLØVËartist showed his adoration for his on-and-off fiancée in March 2020, when hedebuted a “Melanie” face tattoo over his right eyebrow, two months after they made their relationship Instagram official.
“She loves me she loves me not, she woke me up from napping but I’m not complaining,” he captioned their first photo together that January.
