RJ Mitte, 'Breaking Bad' Actor, Dies at 34

Mitte, diagnosed with cerebral palsy at age three, established The Mitte Foundation, offering community grants in his Texas hometown.

Beyond his most prominent role, Mitte's on-screen credits included 'Hannah Montana', 'Switched at Birth', 'Westhampton', and 'Talking to Strangers'.

He began his acting career as an extra, working to pay bills, before walking the catwalk for a Vivienne Westwood fashion show.

Mitte also presented part of Channel 4's coverage of the 2016 Rio Summer Paralympics.

He served as an ambassador for United CP of San Diego, continuing his work for disability rights.

Mitte cared for his younger sister, Lacey, reportedly changing her diapers and feeding her; his mother was reportedly hit by a car travelling at 40mph, an incident that resulted in a ruptured spine.

Mitte was engaged to Kennedy Suarez, their engagement reportedly occurring a year prior on her 30th birthday.

His final public appearance was reportedly a hot air balloon ride with his 'Breaking Bad' co-star Luis Moncada.

RJ Mitte's representatives stated, "It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of beloved actor, philanthropist, and passionate disability rights advocate RJ Mitte."

Law enforcement stated a death investigation is ongoing, with emergency services reportedly called to his house at 12:50 pm, where he was pronounced dead approximately 40 minutes later.

Despite the statement from his representatives, Mitte had allegedly died by suicide, with his publicist claiming he took his own life; separate sources also claim Mitte had died by suicide.

Further reports suggest Mitte's money troubles had cast a shadow over his wedding plans with fiancée Kennedy Suarez.

Mitte had previously claimed he might be interested in continuing the 'Breaking Bad' story, stating his character's journey was not complete.
