    Former "Everybody Loves Raymond" child actor Sawyer Sweeten died at the age of 19 at a family member's home in Texas. He played Geoffrey Barone on the hilarious sitcom for 9 seasons.

    My sympathy to his family and friends but he lives on through that awesome old sitcom, catch it on Nick at Nite, it is also on Netflix that is where I wqatched it, seen thos ekids grow up from 2 years old to about 11...so sad.

    Everybody Loves Raymond was one of my fav shows and yes saw those kids grown from toddlers to pre-teens.

    A hailarious show each episode had it's fair share of laughs, and the kids were awesome while not a big part of most shows they were super.

    Yes it is a shock. I read the article in People magazine. His mother says he wasn't your typical 'tragic former child star' who got lost in drugs and alcohol. I believe her. Depression can strike anyone.

    Yes it can and too many people do not take it seriously by always telling the ailing person of snap out of it and other frivious comments.
    Men/boys are also least likely to report it as they feel a stigma and feel weak by talking about it because of how so many people look at this serious illness.

    I came across an article in People that should clear some things up: http://www.people.com/article/sawyer-sweeten-death-suicide-mother-tribute

     

    What happened to our son was not textbook depression. He was happy, upbeat and loving. But in the last week of his life, we saw something happen. It was so rapid in progression that we were caught off-guard.

    Sawyer was not some tragic Hollywood kid who did drugs or became an alcoholic. He did neither. He was a normal young man who loved his Harley-Davidson, video games, his pets and especially his family.

    Interesting thing is that Sawyer is not the only young actor to commit suicide this year. Back in March, British actor/singer Chris Hardman from Gene Simmons' Rock School commited suicide at 24.
