Sawyer Sweeten (pictured left), the actor who played one of Ray Barone's sons on Everybody Loves Raymond, passed away on Thursday after reportedly killing himself at the age of 19. According to Radar, who was the first to report the news, Sawyer was visiting family in Texas where he is believed to have shot himself on the family home's front porch. Sawyer's manager, Dino May, confirmed the sad news to Variety on Thursday.
Sawyer's twin brother, Sullivan, and sister, Madylin (also pictured), played his on-screen siblings on the hit show, which ran from 1996 until 2005. "This morning a terrible family tragedy has occurred," Madylin said in a statement. "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." The siblings last appeared in public together at the 2010 TV Land Awards.
