The American actor RJ Mitte is dead. He died at the age of 34 in Brownsville in the US state of Texas, as his management confirmed to several US media outlets on Monday (local time).

Mitte became known primarily for his role as Walter White Jr. in the multiple award-winning AMC series "Breaking Bad." He portrayed the son of the main character Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, across all five seasons of the series (2008–2013). Over the course of the plot, his character carried the nickname "Flynn."

A cause of death was not initially known. While most US media outlets such as Deadline, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter reported only the death without further details, the portal Just Jared writes, citing unnamed sources, that it was a suspected suicide. An official confirmation of this has not yet been provided.

Apart from his acting career, Mitte was an activist for the rights of people with disabilities. He himself lives with cerebral palsy – an experience that also informed his acting work. In addition to "Breaking Bad," he appeared in series such as "Better Call Saul," "Switched at Birth," and "The Recall."
