According to TMZ, Carter was killed in a car crash on Saturday. Law enforcement sources shared with the media outlet that Carter was driving southbound on U.S. Route 21 in South Carolina in a 2026 Tesla just a little after 11 p.m. The vehicle suddenly veered off the road, striking a pole and fence. It then rolled.
Carter was the only person in the vehicle at the time of the crash. It was noted that he had been wearing a seatbelt.
The singer’s cause of death was blunt force injuries and has been ruled accidental.
Carter appeared on Season 24 of NBC’s The Voice in 2023. He first wow’ed the coaches with his rendition of Whitney Houston’s “I Look to You.”
After receiving the much-sought four-chair turn, Carter joined Reba McEntire’s team. He was eliminated during the Battle Rounds.
