THESE EVERYDAY PEOPLE FOUND FAME AFTER LETTING CAMERAS INTO THEIR LIVES. NOW FANS MOURN THEIR UNTIMELY PASSING.
Reality TV TRAGEDIES

DAYS before his death, Garrison Brown was focused on saving a life. On Feb. 29, the 29-year old posted a cuddly shot with a rescue cat. "Newest edition to my home, Ms Buttons," the Sister Wives star captioned the shot. "She's 9 years old and was on the line for euthanasia but my savior complex couldn't suffice. #crazycatlady"

Sadly, he couldn't save himself. Flagstaff, Ariz., police said in a statement that Garrison, who appeared on the TLC show about his parents Janelle and Kody Brown's polygamous lifestyle since it first aired when he was a child in 2010, had died "of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound" March 5. He is just one of several reality-TV personalities to have died under tragic circumstances recently, leaving fans and family devastated by their loss.
