UNITED STATES — Robert Cosby Jr., the son of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast member Mary Cosby, has died. Coverage of Cosby’s recent interviews states that his death was ruled an overdose.
Public discussion of the loss intensified as Season 7 of RHOSLC premiered and Cosby spoke about grieving while continuing to film. Major entertainment outlets reported the overdose finding in the context of those interviews—not as a separate police press conference summary.
What has been reported
Page Six and related outlets described Robert Jr.’s death as an overdose and noted that Cosby resumed RHOSLC production about three weeks afterward. Exact dates of death and any local medical-examiner documents were not the focus of the premiere-week coverage; the confirmed public point is that Cosby has addressed the loss on the record.
Family context
Cosby has described the period as a shock and said support from her husband and cast members helped her keep working. Search interest in “how did Mary Cosby son die” and “Robert Cosby Jr.” rose as the Bravo premiere and interview clips circulated.
This report summarizes published interview coverage only. Further official details, if released by authorities or the family, would supersede secondary accounts.
