Just before 18-year-old Michael Blosil took his own life, the teenager sent a text message to a neighbor indicating there was a note for her in his room, sources told TMZ. Blosil, one of Marie Osmond's eight children, jumped to his death from his downtown apartment building around 9PM. Minutes later, in reponse to the text message, the neighbor entered Blosil's apartment to find the note. Reportedly, the note claimed the woman was Blosil's only good friend in L.A. and he was very unhappy.Law enforcement sources say the note did not explicitly mention suicide, though it spelled out things Blosil would be doing for the last time. The woman and Blosil's roommates became alarmed but had no time to seek help; they became aware of sirens and saw emergency vehicles already on the street below the apartment.
When Blosil's roommates spoke to police, they confirmed that he was sober around the time of his death, though he had struggled with addiction in the past. Following the divorce of his parents, 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."

As you said, you don't care about the Osmonds, same here. But I can understand as a mother, what she goes through. This child was adopted and adopted children are children of the heart. It must be a tremendous loss for her and her children to lose a brother and son this way. This is the second time, this happend this week, when you are depressed you have no more hope. Our healthcare system should be changed so everyone who needs help, gets help and do not run these people into bankruptcy. In Germany, those healthinsurances have no stockholders, but the moneys they made, go back to the insured, thats why the healthcare system is better there. Healthcare systems here in the USA, should not give stockholders the profit, but the profits should go back to the insurance used for the next patient.
WOW, this was a Humane being it does not matter it was a celebrity son's.
Who cares if your tired of hearing the name Osmond,no family should suffer a loss like this.
Some of you are so cold and callus.
My condolences to the Osmond family and to the friends of Michael.
I hope Michael is at peace. He will always be with you as long as you keep him in your heart and memories.
Depression is a HORRIFIC illness, and i do not wish it on anyone.
so your sick of the osmond family???? why??? because they are normal and go to church?? what a bunch of nasty idiots you all are..they are talented but have the same problems that everyone else has in life!!!! did yousay thesame thing aboutm=,michael jackson or heath ledger!!???
Feel badly for the kid. Hope he's at peace. As for the rest of the gay Mormon teens, they're still fighting a losing battle.
Whether or you liked the Osmonds or not, this is a very
bad tragitiy! To loose a child, to death; what ever the
maters are, is just beyound a mother can deal with.
Death happens to us all in some points in our lived,
and the pain is just as real and tragic. Osmonds
may be in the lime-light,but they are people too!
Same feelings, same problems.
My heart goes out to Marie Osmond and Family during this time.
I'm so impressed by the humane gesture by both TMZ and People to respect Marie's request for privacy during this difficult time.
The Osmond family is one of the greatest entertaining families in showbiz. They are going through a terrible tragedy at this time, and I cannot begin to understand their feelings. My heart goes out to this wonderful family. May God Bless!!!

Annie, I sy you're right on! What a tragedy for Marie and her family. May God give them strength and bless each and every one of them!
I agree that the Osmonds are a wonderful family.
amen annie,
the osmond are one of the best, i grew up with them, and followed there careers they are so talented and great.
i feel so so sad for the osmonds and there loss,
he was not gay, and he just had alot to live up too as an osmond for a mother, and with there talented and showbiz life style it was hard to keep up with them.
god bless that great family
Marie was going to make him sing and dance to open the NEW DONNY AND MARIE SHOW, that's why he jumped.
I AM SO SORRY FOR HER LOST. THIS IS GOING TO TAKE MARIE ALONG TIME TO GOT OVER IT. I WILL SAY A` PRAY FOR HER FAMILY.

I know, "don't blame the parents" but,..... how often did QVC, doll collections, Vegas, selling jewlery, running the mouth on a talk show, keep her away from being a "hands on" mother...how much money does it take to fill greed,kids don't want mansions, they want mommy home to feel loved. I do believe there is time to be "hands on mommy" for the ones that are still living at home...in my humble oppinion.Marie, wake up.....there is more to life than Vegas and Dollar signs

i totally agree with this.
excuse me!, but being hands on mom or not has nothing to do with what has happened in the osmond's family with regard to micheal. the issue is suicide and the truly dark, endless spiral into a place that no one person could every understand! it is a very seriously dark, lonely place in our own individual minds that no one can save us from! your ignorance to chronic depression has you sounding like a ...., oh i don't know!, but you truely don't know the hell depression is truely capabile of putting a mind thru.... I was lucky to have help thru mine, Micheal may not have had that because people like you are so quick to judge the superficial reasons of cause rather then educate yourself to why there is no hope when taken down by your mind!
