The 18-year-old son of entertainment legend Marie Osmond has died. Michael Blosil, one of Marie’s eight children, leapt to his death in Los Angeles overnight. Police say Michael — who waged a lifelong war against depression — died after jumping from his downtown LA apartment building at about 9 PM Friday night. The teen left behind note explaining that he no longer wanted to live because he felt as if he had no friends and could never fit in.
“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,” Michael’s heartbroken mom Marie said in a brief statement issued Saturday.
“Please pray for my sister and her family,” Donny Osmond added in a phone interview with ET. Donny and Marie’s Las Vegas show has been cancelled tonight.
Very sad. Sending warm thoughts to The Osmonds.
