Marie
Osmond,
show
business" legend,
in
her
first
interview,
since
the
tragic
death
of
her
son
Michael
where
she
talks
about
the
tragic
loss
and
her
last
conversation
with
him.
On
February
26,
2010,
Marie
Osmond
was
performing
with
her
older
brother
Donny
as
a
part
of
their
popular
Vegas
variety
act
when
she
got
a
call
from
her
18-year-old
son,
Michael.
"I
was
just
running
out
as
my
phone
rang,
and
I
couldn't
get
to
it,"
she
says.
Marie
finished
her
performance,
and
shortly
after
she
tried
to
call
her
son
back—but
he
didn't
pick
up.
That
night,
Marie
says
intuition
told
her
something
was
wrong.
Asleep
in
her
hotel
room
after
an
exhausting
day,
Marie
awoke
in
the
middle
of
the
night
to
a
phone
call.
I
knew," Marie
says.
"It
was
Mike."
Michael
was
the
fourth-oldest
child
among
Marie's
eight
children.
To
his
mother
and
siblings,
he
was
known
as
the
fun
one
with
a
great
sense
of
humor.
Marie
calls
him
chivalrous,
loving
and
respectful.
"He
was
so
fun
and
cute
and
a
darling.
It
wasn't
until
my
son
started
using
drugs
that
I
saw
him
change."
Michael
first
started
to
abuse
drugs
when
he
was
just
12
years
old.
He
was
in
and
out
of
rehab
before
he
got
clean.
However,
according
to
the
toxicology
report,
Michael
was
not
under
the
influence
of
any
drugs
when
he
jumped
to
his
death
from
his
eighth-floor
apartment.
"There
were
no
drugs
in
his
system,"
Marie
says.
"But
I
believe
the
ramifications
of
them
were
there,
and
that
was
the
hard
part."
The
day
before
his
death,
Michael
spoke
with
his
mom
about
how
he
was
feeling
lonely
and
isolated.
"It
was
the
first
time
I
heard
him
start
to
cry
and
say
he
was
alone,"
Marie
says.
"That
he
had
no
friends.
That
he
felt
despair."
Concerned,
Marie
tried
to
help
Michael
from
afar.
"I
told
him:
"Mike,
I'm
going
to
be
there
Monday,
and
it's
going
to
be
okay,"
she
says.
"But
depression
doesn't
wait
till
Monday…he
jumped
from
their
8th
floor
apartment
&
committed
suicide…."
In
this
first
emotional
interview
Marie
speaks
about
her
heartbreaking
loss
of
her
cheerful
&
fun
loving
son
Michael
and
clears
some
unwanted
rumors
about
her
son"s
death.
