Janelle Brown's son, Garrisonhas passed away … and it appears his death was a suicide, TMZ has learned.
The 'Sister Wives' star, who appeared alongside his mother and father, Kody Brownon the hit TLC series through the years – passed away Tuesday in Flagstaff, AZ … where he had his own home after leaving his family.
Flagstaff PD tells us officers responded to Garrison's home Tuesday morning for a report of a death, and when they arrived they discovered him dead at the scene. We're told Garrison appears to have suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
We're told there's no foul play involved, and for now police are investigating this as an apparent suicide. FPD says Garrison's brother Gabriel arrived at the house and found him there. No word on if a note was left… we're told an investigation is underway.
Garrison has appeared on “Sister Wives” since it first aired on the network in 2010, when he was just a child. The series describes his father's polygamous lifestyle in Utah, where Kody has several wives. Janelle was one of them until they divorced last year.
As for Garrison…he is one of Kody's many children, and has several siblings and half-siblings – many of whom also appear on the show. All in all, he is Kody and Janelle's fourth child. He has five direct siblings and two other half-siblings from different marriages.
While he and his family initially lived in Utah, they eventually moved to Vegas – and as he matured, Garrison expressed an interest in enlisting in the armed forces. While he wanted to join the military…Garrison eventually enlisted in the National Guard.
Garrison moved out of his parents' house a few years ago during the pandemic — amid a huge family feud over COVID and the strict rules Kody was enforcing.
Eventually, Garrison bought his own house in Arizona and has lived there since 2021. The man was also quite active on social media… documenting his life and pets.
In his latest post on Instagram, he is seen with a new cat that he said he welcomed into the household… a feline he named Mrs. Buttons. He described the cat this way: “Latest edition at my house, Mrs. Buttons. She is 9 years old and was on the line for euthanasia, but my savior complex wasn't enough.”
It's an absolute tragedy for his loved ones, especially Janelle, who just announced that she recently had a cancer scare and had to have two pre-cancerous spots removed.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram media.
Garrison is survived by many family members and loved ones. He was only 25.
