'My Heart Is Broken': Mariah Carey's Mother And Sister Die On Same Day

Close relatives of the famous singer Mariah Carey, her 87-year-old mother Patricia and 63-year-old sister Alison, died on the same day on August 24. The star reported this to People on Monday, but did not name the reasons for the tragedy.

"I am heartbroken to have lost my mother this weekend. Sadly, my sister's life was tragically cut short on the same day," Mariah, 55, said in a statement. "I feel blessed to have been able to spend the last week with my mother before she passed away. I am grateful for everyone's love, support and respect for my privacy during this difficult time."

Patricia was an opera singer, vocal coach, and helped Carey develop her talent as a child. She was married to Alfred Roy Carey, with whom she had three children: Alison, Mariah, and son Morgan. The couple divorced when Mariah Carey was three years old. Throughout her life, Carey had difficult relationships with her mother, as well as her brother and sister.

"Our relationship is a thorny rope of pride, pain, shame, gratitude, jealousy, admiration, and disappointment. A complicated love that ties my heart to my mother's," Carey wrote of their relationship in her 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, which she released in 2020. The book mentions that there was a time when it was "emotionally and physically safer for me to have no contact" with Alison or Morgan.

Mariah has not spoken to her sister since 1991. In 2020, Alison sued Patricia, accusing her mother of forcing her to participate in sexual orgies with strangers as a child, threatening that if she refused, bad people would harm her sister (Mariah). In the lawsuit, Alison noted that she left home at the age of 15, engaged in prostitution, used drugs, contracted HIV, and has suffered from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder throughout her life.

It is also known that three years ago Mariah Carey placed her mother in a nursing home and sold the real estate of close relatives.
