Nicknamed "Ashton," Nick and Aaron Carter's 25-year-old sister was pronounced dead Tuesday evening in upstate New York.
Once an aspiring singer with the song "Like Wow" on the Shrek 2001 soundtrack, Leslie had a long history of mental illness and was on medication for depression, the police summary stated.

Her stepmother, Ginger Carter, called 911 on Tuesday from their Mayville, New York home, telling paramedics that Leslie (married mother to a 10-month-old daughter, Alyssa) was "asleep on her bed and not breathing."

Her father, Robert Carter, attempted CPR. Paramedics arrived and transported Leslie to Westfield Memorial Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 4:59 p.m.

That morning, Leslie was feeling sick and appeared depressed, Ginger told police in a later interview. She later discovered that Leslie had fallen asleep in the shower, and escorted her to bed. That afternoon, Ginger and husband Robert discovered Leslie still unconscious in bed, and called 911.
