    Sawyer Sweeten (Everybody Loves Raymond) commits suicide

    Sad stuff

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-32443743

    Sawyer Sweeten, the child star of hit US show Everybody Loves Raymond, has killed himself.

    His family confirmed in a statement that the 19-year-old "took his own life" on Thursday morning.

    He is reported by US media to have shot himself on the front porch of the family home in Texas.
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Yeah I read about this this morning - sad, strange stuff.

    All three kids on that show are real-life siblings (well, obviously with the twins, but the girl who played Allie as well). I wonder what the reason was behind it ... whatever it is though, it must be awful for the family and especially so for the twin brother left behind. That must be such a bizarrely sad situation to be in.

    It's a sad thing to see anyone go.

    Having said that, I've seen dozens of Raymond episodes, and I never saw any kids...
