Sawyer Sweeten -- one of the twins from "Everybody Loves Raymond" -- is dead from an apparent suicide according to his manager.
Sweeten reportedly shot himself while visiting family members in Texas. He was 19-years-old. His manager Dino May confirmed the death to Variety.
Sawyer played Geoffrey Barone -- one of Ray Romano's twin boys -- on the series from 1996 to 2005. Of course, he famously co-starred alongside his real life siblings ... twin brother Sullivan and older sister Madylin Sweeten.
Madylin posted on Facebook on Thursday afternoon ... "At this time I would like to encourage everyone to reach out to the ones you love. Let them have no doubt of what they mean to you.”
