According to The Hollywood Reporter, singer Marie Osmond's 18-year-old son, Michael Blosil, jumped to his death from the 15th floor of his apartment in Los Angeles, Calif. At the time, Blosil was a student at The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, the school featured on the L.A. season of Project Runway. His friends and roommates told TMZ he was clean and sober at the time of his death.
The year before Blosil's death, Osmond told People he seemed to be doing better. In March 2009, she said, "I couldn't be more proud of him. He's got a 3.9 GPA in high school. He's looking at scholarships to some wonderful colleges." Following his death, Osmond released the following statement, per HuffPost: "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."
According to TMZ, Blosil did leave a suicide note in his apartment for a female friend who lived in his apartment building. He texted the woman to let her know of the message. At that point, she went to his apartment, his roommates let her in, and the group found the note. While it did not specifically mention suicide, it did list things he was doing for one final time. In late 2019, Osmond opened up about the last time she spoke with Blosil.
