Hilary Duff penned a heartfelt tribute Saturday to ex-boyfriend Aaron Carter, who was found dead this weekend at his home in Lancaster, California. He was 34.
The "Lizzie McGuire" actor and the "I Want Candy" singer dated on and off in the early 2000s when they were both teenagers at the height of their fame. According to E! News, the former child stars were romantically linked for about three years before officially calling it quits.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Saturday that authorities were investigating the circumstances surrounding Carter's death after receiving a call from a house sitter who found him unresponsive in a bathtub. Carter had been vocal about his struggles with substance use, as well as various mental health conditions — including personality disorder, schizophrenia, acute anxiety and manic depression.
