'The Doctors' Host Warns Aaron Carter He Could Accidentally Die In Chilling Interview

   Aaron Carter sat down for a telling two-part interview with "The Doctors," during which he spoke candidly about his drug use. The troubled musician submitted to drug testing during the show, shocking the show's hosts with his results.


While the test came back negative for cocaine and meth, Carter, 29, did test positive for a dangerous combination of benzodiazepines and opiates.

"What scares me about the drug panel is that your sister (Leslie Carter) perished from a drug overdose," Dr. Travis Stork warns in a preview for the episode, part one of which is set to air on Wednesday.

"You have a mixture of benzodiazepines with opiates, which is how many people accidentally can die. These medications — and I'm speaking now purely from the doctor's perspective — can be very, very scary."
Carter owned up to using the medications, admitting that he occasionally turns to "the streets" to obtain the prescription drugs.

Still, the "Aaron's Party" singer said he doesn't use illicit drugs and is careful not to mix medications, many of which he actually has been prescribed for various ailments and mental health-related issues.

"I've never smoked crack in my life. I've never smoked meth in my life. I tried cocaine when I was like, 16. My doctor has prescribed me Xanax, Klonopin, Oxycodone…I don't mix medications, I do it to relieve stress or pain or angst," he said.

He vowed to look for other ways to manage his trauma, though he maintained that he had not been taking the pills daily.

"I don't want to be on that stuff. My sister passed away from it. It's not OK. I don't take it every day," he said. "To be honest with you, it's not going to be easy. I know that it's a hard road."

Carter's chilling interview with "The Doctors" comes just days after news broke that police had been called to his Florida home several times in a 24-hour span. One of the calls was related to an alleged suicide threat.

St. Petersburg Police provided the Daily News with documents revealing that they had visited Carter's home four times for welfare checks, though they did not encounter the singer every time.

Calls from a concerned anonymous individual suggested that Carter may be using drugs and alcohol and had been threatening to harm himself and family members. The caller also revealed that Carter has allegedly been trying to buy a gun "for the last couple of weeks."

Carter's reps told The News he was "fine" and was focusing on upcoming performances in New York City and Memphis.
