Aaron Carter\u2019s dentist, who is facing a wrongful death lawsuit from his family, will be introducing evidence of a Department of Children and Family Services investigation in court, TMZ has learned.
According to court docs obtained by TMZ, dentist Jason Mirabile revealed his plan to use evidence to dispute the claim that Aaron\u2019s 4-year-old son, Princeton, lost out on companionship from his dad \u2026 arguing Aaron wasn\u2019t that good of a dad in the first place.
The dentist said he plans to use testimony from the Department of Children and Family Services staff as witnesses in the upcoming trial.
In addition, Jason refuted the claim by Aaron\u2019s family that the singer was earning millions at the time of his death.
Jason said he believes Aaron\u2019s family will make the case that Aaron was making millions per year from various income sources, \u201cthat he would continue earning such income the same way, and that he planned to tour in 2023.\u201d
In his filing, he said the claim for loss of financial support is highly disputed. He argued there is no evidence to prove Aaron was making a 7-figure income in the years before his death.
As TMZ previously reported, Aaron\u2019s family claimed the singer\u2019s doctor and dentist were negligent in prescribing him drugs, specifically Xanax.
Aaron died after he overdosed on Xanax and an opioid medication, which caused him to lose consciousness and accidentally drown in a bathtub. Aaron was also huffing, according to the medical examiner. He was only 34.
