19-year-old Sawyer Sweeten, the boy who played one of the twins on the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, took his own life on Thursday morning. His sister Madilyn Sweeten, who also played his sister on the show, wrote a post confirming the tragedy by saying, “This morning a terrible family tragedy occurred. We are devastated to report that our beloved brother, son, and friend took his own life.” She then went on to write, “At this time I would like to encourage everyone to reach out to the ones you love. Let them have no doubt of what they mean to you.”
If you watched the show, which was on from 1996-2005, Sawyer played Geoffrey Barone– the cute little blonde twin. Any suicide is sad but it’s always tragic when someone in the entertainment business takes their own life for no apparent reason leaving behind their whole family. Sawyer was only a few weeks away from his 20th birthday. May he rest in peace!
