One of the popular Sweeten twins, child stars of hit US show Everybody
Loves Raymond has killed himself. Sawyer Sweeten (left & centre)
shot himself on the front porch of the family home in Texas yesterday
morning April 23rd. He was 19 years old.
"This morning a terrible family tragedy has occurred," the family 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."

brother Sullivan as Michael Barone and older sister Madylin as Ally
Barone. Everybody Loves Raymond ran from 1996 - when the Sweeten twins were just 16 months old - to 2005 when they were 10.
