Mariah Carey’s sister, Alison Carey, has left this world and joined the great beyond on August 24 at the age of 63. But wait, plot twist—she didn’t go alone. Their mother, Patricia, decided to synchronize her departure with Alison’s. Apparently, family bonds are strong in the Carey household, even when it comes to life’s final exit.

Now, enter David Baker, Alison’s friend for the last nine years, who has more details about her passing. David, in true compassionate friend fashion, has taken on the role of the narrator for this chapter of her life. He sat down with People and explained that Alison “had a tough life,” which, let’s be honest, is putting it lightly. Tough is an understatement when your life reads like a disaster movie script, with plot twists no one asked for.

“She got sick pretty fast, and then a month later… boom, gone,” David recounted, probably while holding a cup of coffee and staring dramatically into the distance. I mean, how else do you process something like that? He added that despite seeing it coming, it was still a shock. Kind of like when you order fries and get onion rings instead—except way sadder.

David’s story starts back in 2015 when Alison went through a home invasion on Long Island that left her with a serious brain injury. Because, apparently, life hadn’t thrown enough curveballs at her. She was moved to upstate New York, where things didn’t exactly improve. While in rehab, she suffered a brain hemorrhage, because when it rains, it pours. Her brother Morgan, the middleman of the family drama, posted a Facebook group SOS asking for someone to visit her. Cue David, who saw the message and thought, “Well, looks like I’m the only one around. Time to be a hero.” And that’s how he entered Alison’s life—one Facebook message at a time.

“She needed help, and I was like, ‘Yeah, I can do this.’” David became Alison’s go-to guy. So much so that whenever he stepped out for an errand, Alison would call him up repeatedly like a human boomerang, asking, “When are you coming back?” He was basically her personal Batman—minus the cape and cool gadgets—thanks to her short-term memory struggles from her brain injury.

Fast-forward to August 2024, and Alison entered hospice. David, the ever-dedicated friend, helped her find her final place to live in Coxsackie, New York (yes, that’s the real name of a town). Her last wish? To die in her own home, not a nursing home, because that’s how Alison rolled. And she got her wish, passing peacefully at home with dignity—something we can all aspire to, minus the whole “Coxsackie” part.

Alison was a mother of four—a girl and three boys. Her kids visited her recently, like good children should, with her daughter making daily appearances. Meanwhile, the once-rocky relationship between Mariah and Alison stayed true to its unpredictable nature. According to Alison’s friend, no one was really sure when the diva sisters last saw each other. Mariah had written in her memoir that keeping her distance from Alison and their brother Morgan was basically for her own survival, because, let’s face it, sometimes family is a little too much.
