Garrison Brown, son of ‘Sister Wives’ reality TV stars Janelle and Kody Brown was found dead at a home in Arizona on Tuesday. He was only 25.
Officers responding to a report of a death at the home were met by Garrison’s younger brother Gabe, police said. And they concluded he died by suicide. They did not suspect any sign of foul play.
“Sister Wives,” a TLC reality show that has aired for 18 seasons, focuses on Kody Brown, his four wives and their 18 children. He shares six children and three grandchildren with Janelle and has said he is estranged from them.
On Tuesday, Kody and Janelle posted about Garrison’s death on their Instagram pages.
“He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him,” the posts said. “Our loss will leave such a big hole in our lives, that it takes our breath away.”
TLC said in a statement: “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.”
The estrangement between Kody and his children with Janelle was a topic during season 18 of the show, which began airing last fall.
“We’ve reached out and tried to be open and neglected and overlooked for offenses that were believed to have happened but they never did,” Garrison Brown said in one episode.
Police said the death was under investigation
“At this time there is not any indication of foul play, and Detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division are investigating,” police said.
