Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby says her “heart is aching” after her son Robert Cosby Jr died at the age of 23 following an opioid overdose.

Police were called to Mary’s Utah home just before 6pm on Monday, where Robert was found “not conscious” and “not breathing”, according to police dispatch audio obtained by People.

The audio also revealed Robert was given one dose of Narcan, an over-the-counter nasal spray used to reverse life-endangering opioid overdoses, as he was in a “full arrest/medical emergency”.

On Wednesday, Mary shared a statement about his tragic death on social media to her more than 515,000 Instagram followers.
