The Osmond family is in mourning right now after the death of 33 year-old Troy Osmond, the nephew of Donny and Marie Osmond.

Police say that Troy was found purple and blue with his body “hanging off the bed and his upper body was laying across a nightstand.” He was pronounced dead at the scene and his death was believed to be “medical or health related,” with no signs of foul play.

Troy had reportedly suffered from many health issues.

“It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we have to announce our precious son, Troy Dean, passed away earlier today,” his father Merrill wrote on social media. “As a family our hearts are broken but we are comforted in the knowledge we will meet again. This is part of Heavenly Fathers plan for Troy. We will always remember him as the sensitive, caring and talented boy who brought so much happiness to all who knew him.”

Weeks after his passing, Troy would have turned 34. On his birthday, his father took to Facebook to write, “Where in the world is my son today… I cannot believe you are so far away…”

The Osmonds have had more than their fair share of tragedy in recent years. Troy’s death comes eight years after Marie’s beloved son Michael Blosil committed suicide at the age of 18.

Please keep the Osmond family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time!
