Sister Wives star Janelle Brown revealed the last picture their family took with late son Garrison, 25, before his tragic death.

"I had all my children together last Christmas," the mother-of-six — who also shares kids Logan, Madison, Hunter, Gabriel and Savanah with ex Kody Brown — captioned the sweet snapshot. "It was amazing as it’s hard with everyone’s busy lives to coordinate time like this. I am extremely grateful now that we had pictures taken."

"She doesn't even know which end's up," the source explained. "She's very angry right now... She's not a crier or an emotional person. Takes a lot to get her to break. So, I think right now she's going to go, like, 'What the heck happened? What did I do wrong?'"

Per the police report, both Gabriel and one of Garrison's roommates — only identified as Addison — confirmed Garrison had been having mental health problems and abusing alcohol in the weeks leading up to his death.

Addison told police they'd recently "talked a little more in-depth with him about how he was struggling with drinking and his depression surrounding that," but clarified they didn't think anything he said the night before his passing had been a "red flag" for suicidal behavior.
