The unexpected death of Garrison Brown, known for his appearances on the reality TV show “Sister Wives,” has left fans and family members reeling. Garrison, aged 25, was found dead from an apparent gunshot wound to the head in his Flagstaff, Arizona home on Tuesday.
Prior to his tragic demise, he reportedly sent alarming texts, prompting his mother, Janelle Brown, to raise concerns about his well-being.
According to a police report obtained by TMZ, Garrison’s last text messages to a group associated with the Brown family’s reality show hinted at his emotional turmoil. In one message, he expressed longing for past good times, writing, “I want to hate you for sharing the good times.
But I can’t. I miss these days.” This message, coupled with Garrison’s apparent silence in subsequent communication with his mother, prompted growing apprehension among his family members.
Janelle Brown, Garrison’s mother, disclosed to authorities that she and Garrison exchanged texts for a brief period until his responses ceased. She also revealed that Garrison was estranged from his father, Kody Brown, a prominent figure in the polygamist family featured on “Sister Wives.”
Questions Regarding Mental State Of Garrison Brown
The circumstances surrounding Garrison’s death have raised questions about his mental state and the factors contributing to his apparent suicide. Notably, Garrison and his brother Gabe, aged 22, had recently relocated from their parents’ home in Las Vegas to Flagstaff, Arizona, reportedly due to disagreements over COVID-19 protocols enforced by their father, Kody.
In response to Janelle’s concerns, Gabe volunteered to check on Garrison at his Flagstaff residence. Tragically, Gabe discovered his brother’s lifeless body upon arrival and promptly alerted authorities.
The police report indicates that Garrison shared his residence with three roommates, none of whom responded to a noise heard on Monday night, potentially signaling the fatal gunshot. It wasn’t until Gabe’s arrival the following day that Garrison’s tragic fate was discovered.
Despite reports of Garrison’s struggles with alcohol, his brother Gabe noted that he seemed to be coping relatively well, having recently secured employment at a medical facility. This apparent stability contrasts sharply with the despair hinted at in Garrison’s final texts.
In the wake of Garrison’s untimely passing, Janelle and Kody Brown issued a joint statement expressing their profound grief and requesting privacy as they mourn the loss of their beloved son. They described Garrison as a “bright spot” in the lives of those who knew him, emphasizing the immense void his absence leaves in their lives.
As authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Garrison Brown’s death, the tragic loss serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact of mental health struggles and the importance of supporting individuals in crisis.
