EERIE TEXT MESSAGES
The U.S. Sun has learned Margaret’s behavior a day before her suicide sparked tragic efforts to save her.
On June 19, Unified Police Department was notified that they had a "suicidal female" in their jurisdiction.
According to the report, she left her home in Herriman at 8 am and around 2 pm, "she sent her best friend, who lives in California, suicidal text messages, and then stopped talking to her."
The messages were detailed in the report, but The U.S. Sun has chosen to not report the quoted texts.
An officer also noted that David had received a text message from his late wife prior to her death.
He "had been trying to call her cell phone all night," and attempted to locate her but did not have any luck.
Meanwhile, officers also had been searching for her whereabouts and attempted to locate her to do a welfare check.
Per the narrative, Margaret's name and her vehicle were entered into the National Crime Information Center as missing.
LAST WORDS
The exact circumstances that led Margaret to take her own life remain unclear, but she left a note for her children and husband David.
In her note, according to the official police report, she alleged no one had helped her after she showed "signs of abuse," and claimed loved ones turned their backs on her.
"I was just a misunderstood-misguided lost soul who wasn't strong enough to stand alone against all the evil souls who broke me," Margaret wrote in the suicide note.
She apologized to her children, leaving them with heartfelt last words.
Halfway through her note, the mother of eight slammed David for the person he was over a decade ago.
She continued: "You took everything and anything good in me and broke it with your controlling manipulative ways.
"Please be a better father than you could ever be as a husband."
David was offered a copy of the "very harsh" note by cops after it was found by investigators, but he refused to read it at the time.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to David and a few of his children.
A source close to David told The U.S. Sun that the father of eight is "not ashamed by anything."
He believes "it's a note and that's all it is."
The source added: "When people are depressed, they can say a lot of things.
"And when someone's on their deathbed dying, they're going to say a lot of things."
REMEMBERING MARGARET
Margaret's request, per the note, was not to have a funeral - she wished to be cremated.
However, according to her obituary found online, funeral services were held the week following her death.
She also requested that her money and possessions be divided among her children only.
Margaret's children are still "hurting" and "grieving" until this day.
The U.S. Sun has chosen to not reveal the names of her children.
"They are still missing their mother and saddened by her passing," a source close to the family shared.

The U.S. Sun learned that the family was aware that Margaret was dealing with depression.
Margaret's sister, Debbie, told The U.S. Sun in a statement: "She loved her kids more than anything.
"Really, the only thing I have to say is mental illness is a real problem in this country and that it's super important that people get help.
"We all loved my sister and she loved her kids very much."
CHRISTINE & DAVID
Per a source, details of Margaret's death "are not going to affect David's relationship with Christine."
The couple is still going strong.
David has called Christine his "soulmate" and "queen."
In an Instagram post on March 12, the Plexus ambassador wrote, "I can’t express how amazing it’s been to have David in my life.
"He’s an incredible man and he treats me like his Queen."
She also added "unbelievably happy," "love this life of mine," and "I'm so blessed."
Kody Brown's ex has six children of her own and three grandchildren.
David also has grandchildren, and has proudly posted pics of the young kids online.
Per a source, he is a "very protective dad" and is "very much involved in his kids' lives today."
Christine publicly announced her split from Kody, 54, in November 2021.
After her announcement, Janelle and Meri Brown also separated from the family's patriarch.
Season 18 filming is underway, and Kody is searching for a new wife to maintain his polygamous lifestyle, The U.S. Sun previously reported.
