“Aaron Carter Estate Settles Wrongful Death Lawsuit with Walgreens Over Xanax Prescriptions” — what this page in the network covers. The estate of late singer Aaron Carter has reached a settlement with Walgreens and a Los Angeles pharmacy in a wrongful death lawsuit over Xanax prescriptions. Carter died in November 2022 at age 34, and his family alleged that pharmacies improperly dispensed controlled substances. The settlement resolves claims against Walgreens and the unnamed pharmacy, but the family continues to sue Carter’s former dentist, Dr. Lewis, for allegedly overprescribing opioids and failing to provide proper care.
The case highlights growing legal scrutiny of pharmacies and prescribers in opioid-related deaths. While terms remain confidential, the agreement marks a step toward accountability for Carter’s family, who have pushed for greater oversight of prescription practices. The ongoing suit against the dentist could set precedent for prescriber liability in celebrity overdose cases. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
