Dylan Carter, the singer who captivated the four judges with his audition in The Voice season 24, died at the age of 24 following a car accident in Colleton County, South Carolina.
The Colleton County Coroner ruled his death accidental, caused by blunt force injuries sustained in the collision.
According TMZCarter was driving alone in a 2026 Tesla sedan shortly after 11 p.m. when the vehicle left the road, struck a pole and fence, and rolled.
He was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Carter left a lasting impression on The Voice in 2023 when, at just 20 years old, she auditioned with a performance by Whitney Houston. I look at you, a performance he dedicated to his late mother.
This prompted all four coaches to turn their chairs: Gwen Stefani, John Legend, Reba McEntire and Niall Horan.
Carter chose McEntire as his trainer, but he was eliminated during the Battle Rounds.
His family confirmed the news of his death on Sunday in a Facebook statement, describing their grief and celebrating the mark he had left on their community.
“As a talented singer, he frequently entertained our community with his performances at city events. His kindness and charm earned him immense respect, and his absence will be deeply felt,” the statement read.
The family concluded simply: “He was much more to our family than an artist, he was our friend and we are deeply saddened.”
