New details have emerged in the sudden death of aspiring singer Leslie Carter. According to a recent police report obtained by US Weekly, the 25-year-old had a lethal dose of prescription drugs in her system, including Cyclobensaprine and Alprazolam.

As Reported by US Weekly:

Ginger Carter, Leslie’s stepmom, 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. Authorities reported that prescription drugs Olanzapine, Cyclobensaprine and Alprazolam — which treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and anxiety — were discovered near Leslie’s body.

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.
