Marie Osmond’s teenage son, Michael Blosil, 18, committed suicide Friday night by jumping from his downtown L.A. apartment at approximately 9 p.m., according to People (via Entertainment Tonight). Blosil, one of eight children Osmond raised with ex-husband Brian Blosil, had long struggled with depression — he entered a rehab facility for unspecified treatment in 2007 — and, according to People/ET, left a note saying he had no friends and could never fit in.
Donny Osmond contacted ET this morning to say, “Please pray for my sister and her family.” Marie Osmond has since released the following statement: “My family and I are devastated and in deep shock by the tragic loss of our dear Michael and ask that everyone respect our privacy during this difficult time.”
The Osmonds’ show at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas has been cancelled tonight.
