When did Garrison Brown die?
Garrison Brown died at the age of 25 in March 2024. Janelle and Kody Brown’s fourth child, Garrison, was found dead in his home by his younger brother, Gabriel Brown. The reality TV star died by suicide. According to reports, Garrison had sent a series of troubling text messages the evening before he was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The 25-year-old was reportedly having issues with alcohol at the time of his death. The medical examiner listed ethanol intoxication as a contributing factor. According to Deadline, his blood alcohol content was .30% at the time of his death. The Brown family laid him to rest in Wyoming next to his grandmother.
Since then, his siblings have paid tribute to him multiple times and opted to honor him in special ways. Janelle has done the same, even as she moved across the country to start fresh in North Carolina. Sister Wives covered his death during a season 19 episode.
