Child Star of 'Everybody Loves Raymond' Kills Himself at 19




Sawyer Sweeten grew up before the eyes of millions as a child star on the hit show "Everybody Loves Raymond." However, early morning Thursday, he committed suicide. He was 19 years old. 

His sister Madylin Sweeten said in a statement:
"This morning a terrible family tragedy has occurred. 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 where he is believed to have shot himself on the front porch. He was a year and a half old when he started on "Raymond," playing next to his real-life twin brother Sullivan, who starred as Michael Barone. Their sister, Madylin, played their TV sister Ally Barone. May his soul rest in perfect peace.
