The estate of late singer Aaron Carter reaches a settlement with Walgreens and another pharmacy over wrongful death claims tied to Xanax prescriptions. The family pursues claims on behalf of Carter’s toddler son, relating to prescriptions filled before Carter’s death in 2022.
Multiple outlets report the settlement’s focus on Walgreens and a second pharmacy in California, describing the matter as involving wrongful death allegations connected to prescription dispensing. Rolling Stone and Billboard also note the settlement is part of the legal process surrounding Carter’s Xanax prescriptions prior to his death.
Billboard adds that the family continues litigation against Carter’s former dentist, indicating the settlement does not end all related legal claims. Across the coverage, the core agreement is the estate’s resolution with Walgreens and another pharmacy, while remaining court actions differ by what outlets choose to mention.
