Family sources told the outlet that Angel reached out to Aaron, and told Nick that ‘she and Nick loved him and wanted him to get healthy.’
This reportedly helped Aaron feel he was being supported by his siblings.
TMZ went on to report that the more amicable communication between Aaron and his siblings contributed to this feeling, as past communication within the family was known to get intense.
Both Nick and Angel procured restraining orders against their brother back in 2019 after he made death threats against them or their families.

He told Page Six: ‘I wish [Nick] could have done a little more as a blood relative to Aaron. I’m not judging him. I’m not saying anything bad because I respect him. He’s a talented artist. I love him, but Aaron had an obsession with his brother.
‘Mentally ill people think differently. He was … pushing, poking to get that attention. Aaron did things he should have never done to his brother, but we’re talking about mental health. He was crying out for help.’
