Since coming out as bisexual earlier this year, Carter has had a rollercoaster journey as he split from his partner.
He revealed his struggles with drug abuse, cosmetic surgery addiction and plummeting weight.
Those close to him claimed that he “threatened to take his own life multiple times in the past few weeks”.
