A 911 dispatch audio is shedding light on the death of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby's son, Robert Cosby Jr. "Twenty-three-year-old male, not conscious, not breathing. One dose of Narcan given," the dispatcher said, according to audio obtained by Page Six on Wednesday, February 25. "Police have been called. Three units in route." Us Weekly reached out to the Salt Lake City Police Department for comment. News broke on Wednesday that Robert Jr. died at age 23. His cause of death has not been confirmed. Mary Cosby Shared Emotional Post After Son's Jail Release Weeks Before Death TMZ, who was the first to report the news, claimed that Robert died in Utah following a possible overdose. Authorities confirmed to Us that they responded to a call on Monday, February 23, for a "full arrest" and "medical emergency." Police discovered Robert Jr. dead on arrival. A death investigation is open and active. "Our beloved son Robert Jr. has been called home to the Lord," Mary and husband Robert Cosby Sr. said in a statement to Us Weekly. "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." Bravo also paid tribute to Robert Jr. on Wednesday, writing in a statement to Us, "We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Mary's beloved son, Robert Jr. Mary is a cherished member of our family, and our thoughts, love, and deepest condolences are with her and her loved ones during this incredibly difficult time." Mary had been candid on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City about Robert Jr.'s substance abuse. In an Us cover story, Mary shared that she was "shocked" when she learned about her son's struggles. Mary Cosby's Son Robert Jr.'s Ups and Downs on 'RHOSLC' Before Death at 23 "I immediately started blaming myself, because I thought, 'You can't judge him and his life and his choices,'" she told Us in 2025. "I don't believe in judging people. I'm just not a judger. I don't like judging people, and I don't like to do it. ... If he's opening up enough to tell me something this crucial, then why would I judge? I have no choice but to sit there and receive it and accept it and hope that I can help him." While Mary noted that her son "had a little bit of a setback" in his recovery at the time, she prayed that he "stays good," adding, "I can honestly sit here and say he's doing very good." Robert Jr. checked into an in-patient rehab facility in 2025. Later that year, he was arrested for violating a protective order after he was out. "I'm happy. I'm in a good place. I'm not worried about him," Mary shared during the Bravo show's season 6 reunion in January when asked about Robert Jr.'s arrest. "I know he's somewhere where he's not using. At some point, I have to step back so that he can learn and he can make his own decision, and unfortunately, he's learning the hard way." Robert Jr. pleaded guilty to the charges. He was released from jail in early February. "#godfirst Love you all My Beautiful Son.. I love him sm," Mary captioned an Instagram post about Robert Jr. earlier this month.
