AceShowbiz - The family of Aaron Carter has reached a settlement with a Los Angeles psychiatry clinic involved in a wrongful death lawsuit regarding Xanax prescriptions given to the late singer.

According to court documents filed on May 12 and obtained by Billboard, Amen Clinics agreed to pay a confidential sum as a full and final resolution of the claims against both the clinic and psychiatrist Dr. John Faber. The settlement amount is reported to be within the ballpark of the damages sought by Carter’s family, which was under $325,000.

In the court filing, attorneys for Amen Clinics asserted that the clinic adhered to all standards of care and argued that Carter’s death was not caused by Xanax but rather by inhalation of difluoroethane from canisters. This counters the family’s original lawsuit, which was filed on behalf of Carter’s toddler son and sole heir, Princeton Lyric Carter.

The wrongful death complaint centered on the 2022 drug-linked drowning of Carter. Legal proceedings had faced numerous challenges until a Los Angeles County judge ruled last year that Princeton had the right to a jury trial. The suit accused two doctors and two pharmacies of overprescribing and supplying Carter with excessively high and unreasonably frequent amounts of Xanax prior to his death.

Other defendants in the case, including dentist Jason Mirabile, Walgreens, and Santa Monica Medical Plaza Pharmacy, have not settled and are scheduled for trial in October. A representative for Mirabile declined to comment, while attorneys for Amen Clinics, the Carter family, Walgreens, and Santa Monica Medical Plaza Pharmacy did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Rolling Stone.

This settlement brings partial closure to a complex legal dispute surrounding the circumstances that led to the untimely passing of Aaron Carter, but the remaining defendants’ trial will continue later this year.
