The one who announced the death of the two women is the singer herself. Alison Carey was 63 years old, and the artist’s mother, Patricia, 87 years old.
According to the singer, the two women died over the weekend.
“My heart is broken that I lost my mom this weekend. (…)Unfortunately, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day“, Mariah Carey confessed on Monday, August 26.
Recall that Alison Carey tried to take her sister to court over claims made in her memoir, which she said were “vengeful” and that they provoked them “immense emotional distress.”
“Alison was hurt by the way her mother and Mariah treated her, but she always had mixed feelings about her mother“, David Baker, Alison Carey’s friend, revealed to the Daily Mail. “But I know it was her last wish if she could have at least had a conversation with Mariah.”
According to a source quoted by The Sun, the artist’s sister would have received palliative care at home.
“Alison received palliative care at home for the last three weeks of her lifeDave Baker told the publication.
Alison Carey was sexually abused
In the book “The Meaning of Mariah Carey”, the artist revealed that her sister “gave her Valium, tried to pull her out and threw a cup of hot tea on her, causing her third degree burns” when he was only 12 years old. What’s more, the star harshly criticized her sister, claiming that she gave her cocaine as a child and “he would have offered her body in exchange for money or drugs.”
Four years ago, Alison Carey sued her mother, seeking damages for “immense psychological and physical harm, mental pain and anguish, and the intentional infliction of serious emotional distress“.
During her life, Alison Carey struggled with drug addiction. As a child it was almost “burned alive” by a relative in a fire and was repeatedly sexually abused in “satanic ceremonies“. In 1990, she was diagnosed with HIV and in 2015 revealed that she was dealing with a brain injury.
