Mary Cosby Faces Immediate Loss and Public Scrutiny After 911 Audio, Narcan Use and a Salt Lake City Death Investigation

For mary cosby, Robert Sr. and their close circle, the discovery of their 23-year-old son unresponsive has immediate, painful consequences: a family in mourning, an official death investigation, and new emergency-recorded details that reframe a story already familiar to viewers. The public side of the grief is colliding with private loss, and first-responder audio now underlines what officers and medics encountered that night.

Mary Cosby’s family statement and early reactions

Mary Cosby and Robert Sr. released a joint statement saying their beloved son Robert Jr. "has been called home to the Lord, " and that while their hearts ache they take comfort in faith and the knowledge he is finally at peace. They added gratitude for prayers and trust in the Lord to carry them through this time of sorrow. Mary’s representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Andy Cohen posted an Instagram Threads statement Wednesday mourning the loss, calling the news devastating and expressing heartbreak for Mary and Robert Sr., and sending his love. An initial report of the death emerged earlier; details have since been expanded by official records and emergency audio made public.

What emergency responders encountered that night

A dispatcher’s audio details that officers were sent for a "23-year-old male, not conscious, not breathing, " and that one dose of Narcan had been administered prior to officers’ arrival. The dispatcher also relayed that "police have been called" and that "three units [were] in route. "

The Salt Lake City Police Department said Robert Jr. was found dead on Monday after officers responded to an overdose call that turned into a death investigation. Authorities confirmed responders were dispatched to the call at 6: 14 p. m. Fire and paramedics were also dispatched for what was characterized in emergency logs as a full arrest/medical emergency for a 23-year-old male.

Context inside and outside the family: recent legal, marital and recovery threads

Robert Jr. ’s death came months after his estranged wife, Alexiana Smokoff, filed for divorce following three years of marriage. The couple reportedly married at a Utah courthouse in August 2022; that secret marriage played out in front of cameras in a past season of the family’s televised series.

Alleged drug use involving Robert Jr. and Alexiana Smokoff was a storyline again in a later season filmed in early 2025. At one point, Robert told his mother he was "at a standstill" in his recovery after completing a 30-day rehab stint and described struggling without the structure of that program. His relapse was shown later that season after an arrest in November for an alleged violation of a restraining order put in place by Smokoff’s family, a sequence Mary described on camera as evidence he was delusional about the situation.

Separately, Robert had multiple legal incidents: an arrest in September for a number of alleged crimes including trespassing and assault; an earlier 2022 DUI arrest tied to driving without a license and disobeying traffic laws, for which he pleaded guilty and was released from prison in February.

Here’s the part that matters for readers who followed those storylines: the personal struggles that were previously shown on camera now intersect with an official inquiry and emergency audio that documents the moment first responders arrived.

Mini timeline and signals to watch

• August 2022 — The couple reportedly married at a Utah courthouse (this was later featured on camera).
• 2022 — DUI arrest and guilty plea; subsequent release from prison in February.
• September (year unclear in the provided context) — Arrest for alleged crimes including trespassing and assault.
• November (year unclear in the provided context) — Arrest alleged for violating a restraining order tied to Smokoff’s family; relapse revealed on camera later that season.
• Early 2025 — Season filming included storylines about alleged drug use and Robert Jr. ’s recovery struggles.

The real question now is whether the death investigation and any resulting findings will change how ongoing legal or recovery-related threads are handled in public and within the family.

It’s easy to overlook, but the presence of recorded 911 audio and the confirmation that Narcan was administered mark a new, specific layer of evidence for investigators and for the public narrative surrounding the family’s recent history.

Recent updates indicate some details remain unclear in the provided context; authorities labeled the incident an overdose call that became a death investigation, and the official cause of death has not been specified in the material available here.
