Marie Osmond's Son Michael Blosil Commits Suicide
Tragic news for TV and music star Marie Osmond:
Entertainment Tonight is reporting that Osmond's 18-year-old son Michael Blosil committed suicide Friday evening in Los Angeles.
Blosil jumped to his death from his downtown apartment building around 9PM, according to
new details obtained by 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.
An autopsy on the body may be conducted as early as tomorrow, says ET.
Blosil left a suicide note behind. In it, he cited a life-long battle with depression as the reason for his suicide.
Blosil was one of Osmond's eight children.
"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 said.
In a telephone interview, Donny Osmond told ET, "Please pray for my sister and her family."
Marie and Donny are currently on stage in the Vegas production of 'Donny and Marie.' Tonight's show has been canceled, according to reports.
Osmond and her ex-husband, Brian Blosil, 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."

are you just heartless?? maybe someone should be checking out your head!!!
Stupid? It's "kill" not "kills" and "they're" not "their" Stupid? Go look in the mirror.
The strong stand alone. Yup, OJ has been standing alone for a long time now.
And to be glad someone has died shows you musn't be an adult and if you are, I hope you aren't responsible for raising children of your own.......but most black Daddies don't stick around, so not much worry there.
how mean can you be ??? wow what if it was you going thought depression do you know the ilness doesnt cae who it gets and maybe you will find out .how can you hurt that family so shame on you . you need JESUS IN YOUR LIFE end of story
either you are lonely with no friends or a date tonight or you are the most cold hearted, no soul person in this world...you need to get off the internet spewing your evil.
You mean, hateful racist jerk!
What is wrong with you??????? What has made you so heartless. I think what you have said is a terrible thing to say. You may think it, but it is just plain hurtful to say something that cruel at one of the lowest points in the Osmonds life. May God have mercy on your poor soul.
What a terrible thing to say.....but, I have seen your posts before. Always inflammatory, always ignorant, and in most cases, sexual in nature. You're a disgusting person and I hope you have children of your own. God help them if you do.
First Walter Koenig's son, now Marie Osmond's all due to the horrible dance with the depression demon.
My heart goes out to both families.

My condolences to the Osmond family. To "KKim" (a previous poster), I think what ccorwin meant by "their" hand was that the individual took their own life, not that the parents did it.
Regardless, it was a sincere expression of sympathy.

I am so sorry for the family's loss. When I say that I also include his father Brian, whom everyone seems to forget in their condolences that he too must be hurting. Being family of someone that was famous in their time, it seems that the fans seem to forget the fact that we are just people who hurt just the same. It doesn't matter if folks grew up in the spotlight or the sunshine, we couldn't care less if we were watched on tv or had any fans at all at the time of grieving. So what I am saying is don't glorify the fact that we send well wishes just to them. There is another side of the family that is grieving too. Remember all of them in their prayers.

I am so sorry for Marie and her family. I can't imagine the pain of losing a child. Does anyone remember when this boy went into rehab and Marie was with Donny on Larry King. Larry King asked her about Michael and told the whole world something that Marie did not even know he knew about. It was so cruel. Marie was so upset that Donny had to step in and talk for a while. Both of them were totally blindsided because it was a very personal thing and Larry had not told them ahead of time that he knew. After Larry told the world and named Michael I am sure it was not a help to him. I have never turned on Larry King since that night because he thought he really pulled off a big surprise. He should have told them and asked how they felt about it ahead of time. He was such a jerk. Marie and Donny recovered and finished the interview but had he done that to a child of mine I would have told him when I thought of him and ended the interview immediately. Wonder how he feels today.

How can anyone speak so ill of someone? He has passed and the reason doesn't matter, what matters is he is gone and his family and friends are hurting. Have respect for them as they go through this difficult time. Stop passing judgment and pray that nothing like this happens to those you love.
