SALT LAKE CITY – Bravo stars are showing their support and rallying around "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Mary Cosby following the tragic loss of her son, Robert Cosby Jr. He was 23.

What we know:

In Season 5 of the reality show, cameras were rolling when Robert opened up to his mother about his marriage and drug use. Hearts broke when he explained he "felt like a stain," as they agreed to get him help.

While he agreed to go to rehab and seemed to be on the right trajectory, he later struggled with his sobriety.

Last September, he was arrested after officials said he broke into his father-in-law’s home. He later served time in jail after pleading guilty to numerous charges, including assault and violation of a jail release court order. During the show’s reunion, his mother tearfully said she was in "a good place" because she knew he was somewhere he wasn't using.

On Monday, Feb. 23, Salt Lake City first responders received a call about a 23-year-old experiencing a "full arrest/medical emergency."

A released 911 call reveals he was given Narcan before first responders arrived at the scene, TMZ reported. He was pronounced dead shortly after paramedics arrived.

"Our beloved son Robert Jr. has been called home to the Lord. Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in God’s promise and in knowing he is finally at peace. We are grateful for your prayers and trust in the Lord to carry us through this time of sorrow," Mary Cosby wrote in an Instagram post Wednesday.
