[Kulture Kiari 3,433]

Sawyer Sweeten grew up before the eyes of millions as a child star on the endearing family sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond." Early Thursday he committed suicide, his sister Madylin Sweeten said in a statement.

 

He was 19.

 

"This morning a terrible family tragedy has occurred," Madylin Sweeten said in a statement passed on by her manager Dino May. "We are devastated to report that our beloved brother, son, and friend, Sawyer Sweeten, took his own life. He was weeks away from his 20th birthday. At this sensitive time, our family requests privacy and we beg of you to reach out to the ones you love."

 

Sweeten, best known for his role Geoffrey Barone, was visiting family in Texas, entertainment industry magazine Hollywood Reporter reported, where he is believed to have shot himself on the front porch.

 

Sawyer Sweeten was born in May 1995 in Brownwood, Texas.

That's so sad. All my condolences to his family and friends.

I wonder why he did it but I think it will be very rude to ask his family. Maybe they don't have any idea either.

That's what was going through my mind when I read the article on Daily Mail. It just seems so strange and out of the blue without any reason whatsoever

Loved that show. It's so weird considering I watched it when I was a kid and now this happens.

[Dangerous Man 9,245]

Suicide is always wrong.

 

However, I don't have the right to judge those who committed to it. My condolences to his loved ones. :(

Oh my gosh no  

I've watched the full series at least five times through by now. Still one of my favorite sitcoms. Gonna be kind of sad seeing those boys on the show now.
