The saddening news of the death of the former teen heartthrob,Aaron Carter, has made headlines and caused deep sorrow not only to his family but fans who were rooting for him. Earlier this year, Carter in August toldDaily Mailthat he had been rebuilding himself by getting “on the tracks and keep[ing] going,” despite many still painting him as a drug addict after five years of sobriety. Before his untimely death at the age of 34, the star had planned to take a “second chance” in his career and had recently filmed the pilot for the comedy series titledGroup.
The sitcom centered on group therapy and advocates for mental health, a premise that was near and dear to Carter’s heart.Group’s pilot writer and director,Brian Farmer, confirmed viaTMZthat the former Disney Channel star had finished filming the show’s pilot episode. He also referred to Carter as a warm-hearted soul who was a genuine joy to work with and was eager to play a fictionalized version of himself in a series that tackles mental health advocacy. Farmer also released a statement expressing that Carter’s death was both shocking and heartbreaking, saying:
“Aaron was so excited about the show and helping raise awareness for mental health, a topic he was very passionate about. He said being a part of the show gave him something positive to work toward, and I’ll forever cherish that. He was such a kind soul and a pleasure to work with, and he will be dearly missed by everyone who was a part of Group and countless others. My heart goes out to his family and friends.”
