She was soon joined by her online followers who supported her and shared her grief as she mourned her late son.

The Flagstaff police confirmed the death of Garrison after his brother Gabriel found his body in his bedroom of the rented property in Flagstaff, Arizona. The police suspects the reality TV star has died of self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The sources close to the family recently claimed, per OK! Magazine that Janelle is still trying to process the news and is feeling “angry and numb” at the suddenness of it.

The source shared, "She doesn't even know which end's up," and added, "She's very angry right now…”

The source continued to describe the heartbreaking situation, as they said, “She's not a crier or an emotional person. Takes a lot to get her to break. So, I think right now she's going to go, like, 'What the heck happened? What did I do wrong?'"

Garrison's roommates claimed he was suffering from depression

Garrison’s roommates from his Flagstaff house have claimed that the 25-year-old was reportedly struggling with depression and addiction before his death by apparent suicide.

His roommates Cheyenne and Addison have recorded their statements with law enforcement as the cops are investigating the tragedy.

According to The Sun, in a recently released police report, the law enforcement have transcribed the statements of his roommates.

The report quotes an officer writing, “Addison stated that he has had conversations with [Garrison] about him being depressed lately,” before adding, “He stated that [Garrison] is an alcoholic and drinks every night.”

The roommate who has been identified only as Addison, further claimed that though they spent considerable time together the night before, Garrison didn’t speak anything that could be considered a “red flag.”

He, nevertheless, appeared “intoxicated.”

Addison further “stated that he knew that [Garrison] was having problems with his ex-girlfriend and that he was not a very happy person.”

Cheyenne, Garrison’s other roommate “stated that she talked a little more in-depth with him about how he was struggling with drinking and his depression surrounding that".
