That was unexpected. He was so young, too. RIP.

If it was by suicide (young deaths usually are), it wasn't so surprising.

I had listened to some podcasts where he said his financial situation hadn't been great.

If you watch them, you can kind of see his mind thinking.

I think you only notice such things if you've entertained the thoughts yourself.

Link to the podcast?

I had the same thought the other day, once you feel a certain way, identifying it in others is much easier. Definitely true for depression and suicide, but I guess I've also seen it be true for gay people as well (who always seem to know within seconds who is and isn't gay).

RIP to an actor who was not defined by his disability in the show, but also at age 16 managed to hold his own against veteran actors dean norris, bryan cranston, aaron paul, and betsy brandt.

Definitely a memorable character and performance in Breaking Bad. Way too young, RIP.

He died by suicide.

A reminder to everyone here: Even when you can’t see a way forward, one can still emerge. Stay. Reach out. You don’t have to face the darkest moments alone.
