The son of Sister Wives star Janelle Brown sent an “alarming” final text message before his tragic death earlier this week, it’s now being claimed.
As per reports, 25-year-old Garrison Brown was found dead at his home in Flagstaff, Arizona on Tuesday, March 5.
Authorities stated their belief that Brown had died by suicide, with a police report detailing how his three housemates were at home at the time of his death. They reportedly “heard a noise but did not think that is was a gunshot”.
Sister Wives star Janelle Brown took to Instagram on Tuesday to share the heartbreaking news, writing: “Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown. He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him.”
She continued: “His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.”
Garrison, known for his appearances on the popular TLC series, was sadly discovered deceased with a gunshot wound to his head by his brother, Gabriel, only adding further grief to the family’s already tumultuous dynamics.
As per reports, Garrison’s roommates told police that they believed Garrison to be struggling with an alcohol problem around the time of his death.
Today, mom Janelle has revealed that she and her son shared text messages on the day of his passing, up until he tragically “stopped responding”.
Janelle said that Garrison had sent a worrying text to a group that included staff from Sister Wives‘s production team. The text read: “I want to hate you for sharing the good times. But I can’t. I miss these days.”
Janelle herself wasn’t included in the group text, but when she was informed about it she sent her son Gabe to check up on his brother.
TLC, the network behind Sister Wives, expressed their condolences in a statement that read: “We are devastated to hear of the tragic loss of Garrison Brown. We extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to the Brown family at this difficult time.”
