Los Angeles police said Monday that the investigation into the death of Michael Blosil, the 18-year-old son of entertainer Marie Osmond, would be handled by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.<\/p>\n

Friends and neighbors told authorities that Blosil had been struggling with depression when he jumped to his death Friday night from a downtown Los Angeles apartment building.<\/p>\n

"It appears it was a suicide," said LAPD Lt. Paul Vernon. "This is a young man from a close-knit family. It’s very tragic."<\/p>\n

Los Angeles patrol officers were initially dispatched to the call, but the case was not turned over to detectives as it was quickly determined that Blosil, a major in apparel manufacturing at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, battled depression before his death.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Investigators believe Blosil, one of seven children of Osmond and her ex-husband, Brian Blosil, fell 15 stories after jumping from a roof or balcony of the building where he lived. He left behind a suicide note, the contents of which were not disclosed.<\/p>\n
