Marie Osmond’s son Michael Blosil committed suicide last Friday night by jumping to his death from his Los Angeles apartment.
Blosil was only 18-years-old.
Earlier that night, around 9pm, Blosil text messaged a female friend (who also lived in his building) telling her he had a letter for her waiting at his apartment – which was on the eighth floor. The two friends had planned on spending time together that night. However, when the friend arrived at his apartment, Blosil’s roommates let her in, they found the note and soon after heard the sirens on the street below.
In the letter, Blosil told the female that she was his only good friend in Los Angeles and that he was very unhappy with his life.
Michael Blosil was a student at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. He struggled with drug and/or alcohol issues in the past and went to rehab in 2007 when he was just 16.
Such a terrible tragedy for the Osmond family. Suicide is such a horrible thing in that all the pain that person was suffering doesn’t go away after they are gone, it merely moves on to the family and loved ones.
As many of you know, my family has been marred by multiple suicides and after having gone through it I can say that even the way that someone kills them self can be extremely traumatic to the loved ones of the deceased. When done violently, (gun shot, jumping from a building) the visuals left with those left behind are horrific. So I can say that I feel terrible for Marie and the entire family that sadly enough they will be left with these terrible visuals.
I wish nothing but the best for this family and hope that they will pull together to get through this tragedy.
Rest in peace, Michael.
