The Los Angeles County coroner’s office said Tuesday that a final determination of what caused the death of\u00a0entertainer Marie Osmond’s 18-year-old son would be deferred pending further investigation.<\/p>\n
Michael Blosil died Friday night after authorities said he jumped from the roof or balcony of a downtown residential building in an apparent suicide.<\/p>\n
Ed Winter, assistant chief at the L.A. County coroner’s office said an autopsy had been performed on Blosil, the son of Osmond and her ex-husband, Brian Blosil. But an official cause of death would be delayed pending the outcome of toxicology tests, which typically take four to six weeks.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles police patrol officers were initially dispatched to the call, but the case was not turned over to detectives as it was determined that Blosil had killed himself. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Investigators believe Blosil fell 15 stories after leaping off\u00a0the building where he lived. A suicide note was left behind, but officials said the contents would not be released to the public.<\/p>\n
Friends and neighbors told authorities that Blosil, who was majoring in apparel manufacturing at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, had been struggling with depression.
