Former Sister Wives star Garrison Brown passed away at the age of 25, with an official autopsy report revealing that his blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit at the time of his death. The report showed that Brown had a blood ethanol rate of .307%, which is significantly higher than the legal limit of 0.08% for adults over the age of 21. While a toxicology report was conducted, the cause of Brown’s death was ultimately ruled as a gunshot wound to the head, and his death was classified as a suicide. Brown was one of Janelle and Kody Brown’s six children, along with siblings Maddie, Logan, Hunter, Gabriel, and Savanah.
In March, Garrison’s parents, Janelle and Kody Brown, shared the news of their son’s passing on social media. Kody expressed their devastation and asked for privacy to honor Garrison’s memory. Police discovered Garrison’s body at his home in Flagstaff, Arizona, where he was found deceased with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Reports indicated that Garrison’s brother Gabriel was the one to find him. Prior to his death, Garrison had sent a troubling message to a group chat that included individuals who worked with the Brown family, expressing his feelings of missing past memories.
Janelle, who was not part of the group chat, learned of Garrison’s message and reached out to check on him. The two had a brief conversation before Garrison stopped responding, leading to the tragic event. A funeral service was held for Garrison shortly after his passing, where his cousin Emma Brown paid tribute to him on social media with an emotional post expressing her love and grief for her late family member. Garrison’s siblings also shared their heartfelt tributes, with Maddie posting on Instagram about the loss of her brother and the pain of his absence in their lives.
It is evident from the outpouring of tributes and messages that Garrison Brown was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by his family and friends. His passing has left a significant impact on those who knew him, and the heartbreaking circumstances of his death have shed light on the importance of mental health and reaching out for help in times of crisis. Resources are available for those struggling with mental health issues or crisis situations, including the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (988) and online chat services.
