Drug tests pending in Osmond son’s death

Los Angeles — Toxicology tests will determine whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the death of Marie Osmond’s 18-year-old son, who police said jumped to his death from a downtown apartment building, a coroner’s official said Monday.

Michael Blosil left a suicide note before he leaped from the eighth floor of the building on Friday night, said police Lt. Paul Vernon.

Vernon said he did not have details of the note.

Coroner’s officials were investigating the case as a suicide, but an autopsy conducted Sunday did not officially determine the cause of death pending the results of toxicology tests, which could take up to two months, said Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter.
