Gabriel Brown, one of Garrison’s siblings, volunteered to go to his house and see how he was doing. But on reaching he found Garrison dead with a gun in his hand.
Why didn't Garrison Brown's roommates find him until the next day?
Garrison had shot himself on Monday night, March 5, but his roommates did not hear the gunshot and thought it was a “pop” sound.
They didn't think "it was a gunshot, and none of them even checked on Garrison to see what happened," the report mentioned after his three roommates were interviewed by the police.
They did not discover his body until the next day when Gabriel arrived on the scene and called 911.
The roommates told the police that Garrison had a problem with alcohol.

Gabriel said he "didn't realize something was amiss" as according to him Garisson had "recently taken on a new job at a medical facility and seemed to be doing okay on his own."
However, Janelle told the police that Garrison was estranged from his father, Kody, reported the outlet.
