Aaron Carterex-fiancée, Melanie Martinhas reached a settlement in his pop star wrongful death lawsuit.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weeklythe motion for a good faith determination was filed on Tuesday, May 12. The agreement was reached in April between Martin, a psychiatric clinic and a psychiatrist. The group tried to mediate last month but could not reach an agreement at that time.
“This proposal is made on the grounds that the settlement of the matter was entered into in good faith and … that it was the result of lengthy discussions between the parties based on their separate and independent assessments of the likelihood of a favorable outcome at trial, weighed against the costs of the trial,” the documents read.
Martin, the clinic and the psychiatrist agreed to settle the case for a “confidential sum.”
Other stakeholders – including a dentist and two additional pharmacies – have been notified of the fix.
Us reached out to all parties for comment.

Prince is the sole beneficiary of Carter's estate.
After his death, Martin said that the doctors, dentists, mental health clinics and pharmacies that had given him many medications were responsible for his passing.
Carter, who was outspoken about his substance abuse problems, was found dead at his California home in November 2022. He was 34 years old. His death was determined to be accidental drowning after inhaling difluoroethane and taking alprazolam.
Martin's lawsuit alleges that Carter was given hydrocodone, oxycodone and alprazolam without reason. The lawsuit said the drugs and their amount, as well as Carter's previous mental health issues, should have been a warning to medical professionals.
