Sawyer Sweeten (left with sister Madylin and brother Sullivan in 2010) died in Texas on Thursday.

A child star who appeared on the hit show Everybody Loves Raymond has died of an apparent suicide.

Sawyer Sweeten, 19, took his own life while visiting family in Texas, shooting himself on the front porch.

He played Geoffrey Barone on the hit show alongside his twin brother Sullivan, who played Michael, for 139 episodes.

Their older sister Madylin also played their older sister on the show, Ally.

'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,' said Madylin in a statement.

'At this sensitive time, our family requests privacy and we beg of you to reach out to the ones you love.'

'Sawyer’s entire family is absolutely devastated by this tragedy,' a source told Radar Online.  

Sawyer's mother Elizabeth posted a photo on Facebook Wednesday saying how much she loved her three oldest children.
