Funeral service planned for Marie Osmond’s son
SALT LAKE CITY — A funeral service will be held Monday in Provo for the 18-year-old son of Marie Osmond, the singer’s publicist said.
The private service for Michael Bryan will be held in a chapel near the Provo temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, publicist Alan Nierob said.
Police in Los Angeles have said Bryan died Feb. 26 from an apparent suicide after jumping from the eighth floor of the Metropolitan apartment building. An official cause of death is pending the results of an autopsy and toxicology tests.
Police have said Bryan left a note, but have provided no details about its contents.
One of five children adopted by Osmond, Bryan previously used his adoptive father’s last name, Blosil. Records from Utah’s 4th District Court, however, show a judge had granted the teen a petition for a legal name change.
Osmond and Brian Blosil divorced in 2007 after two decades of marriage. Osmond also has three other children from marriages to Blosil and first husband, Stephen Craig, whom she divorced in 1985.
Bryan was a first-year student of apparel manufacturing at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising.
In 2007, Osmond said her son had entered a rehabilitation facility, but did not disclose what he was being treated for.
