It was reported that Marie's son had jumped from his downtown apartment building at approximately 9 PM. According to details from ET Online the Los Angeles Fire Department was quickly dispatched after receiving a phone call and found a body believed to be Blosil's upon arrival.
Marie's son left a suicide note in which he cited a life-long battle with depression as the reason for his suicide. Marie and her ex-husband, Brian, adopted Michael. Following their divorce after 20 years of marriage, Michael became depressed and in November 2007, entered rehab.
"Those kinds of things are really very hard for a teenager to deal with," Osmond told PEOPLE in March of 2009. "And if he ever wants to talk about it ... he will, but it has to be their choice. It's not my choice." She went on to say that Michael was doing quite well, saying she "couldn't be more proud of him" and that "he's got a 3.9 GPA in high school. He's looking at scholarships to some wonderful colleges."
Marie gave a statement in which she said "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." Marie and Donnie, who both have been contestants on Dancing With The Stars (DWTS) are currently performing in Las Vegas at the Flamingo but the show has been temporarily cancelled until after the funeral.
According to ET, an autopsy on the body will be conducted immediately.
