Marie Osmond's Son Commits Suicide in L.A.

Marie Osmond‘s 18-year-old son Michael Blosil leapt to his death Friday night (February 26) from his downtown Los Angeles apartment building.

ET reports he left a suicide note referring to a lifelong battle with depression.

“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,” Marie said through her publicist Saturday.

Marie‘s brother Donny Osmond added, “Please pray for my sister and her family.”

Marie and Michael‘s father, Brian Blosil, pulled the plug on their 21-year marriage in March 2007. The couple had two biological children together and adopted five others, including Michael.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Osmond family and friends.
