As reports by ET,  Blosil left a note explaining he intended to commit suicide due to his life-long battle with severe depression that left him, he said, feeling as if he had no friends and could never fit in.

“My family and I are devastated and in deep shock by the tragic loss of our dear Michael and ask that everyone respect our privacy during this difficult time,” Marie, who helped her son fight depression throughout his life, tells ET.

It’s very sad. He was so young too. R.I.P.
