- The settlement terms are confidential, but the estate expressed satisfaction with resolving the claims involving the pharmacies for the benefit of Carter’s young son.
- Carter was found dead in his bathtub in November 2022, and his former fiancée filed the lawsuit on behalf of their son, Princeton, alleging overprescription of Xanax by doctors and pharmacies.
- Earlier, the estate settled with Dr. John Faber and Amen Clinics for a confidential sum, with damages capped under California’s Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act; Faber’s attorneys denied wrongdoing, attributing Carter’s death to inhalation of difluoroethane.
