According to TMZ, Carter was found dead in his bath at his home in Lancaster, California, on Saturday morning.
A representative for Carter’s team said the cause of death is still being determined.
Five years ago, Carter appeared on The Doctors, a syndicated health-focused talk show, to discuss public attention generated by his gaunt appearance and drug-related arrests.

A thorough series of tests and examinations revealed Carter was not suffering from cancer or any sexually transmitted disease, but he did have a candida infection, which indicated a sign of a weakened immune system.
Carter also tested negative for illegal drugs, but tested positive for “a mixture of benzodiazepines with opiates”, a potentially dangerous combination of prescription medications that Carter said he took for anxiety and sleep.
He was malnourished and underweight — 115 pounds (52 kg) at 6 feet (1.8 m) – with a body mass index of 17 (a BMI of 18.5 to 25 is normal range).
He was advised to enter a drug rehabilitation program and remain under medical care, which he did.
