RJ Mitte (Walt Jr) has passed 😥

Wow, I was shocked to hear this. They are saying it was suicide. So sad. He was only 34 years old. RIP, Flynn ❤️

Nobody expects suicide because people never go "hey everybody, just letting you know that I'm severely depressed and this weekend I'm planning to blow my brains out". If only the signs were that obvious. It's always much more subtle, if there's even any signs at all

Agree, hence the "I know how naive this sounds" part, it's especially easy to mask depression to strangers online via a seemingly happy social media presence :/

Has that been confirmed? I hadn’t seen anything yet that stated suicide.

It’s been reported in multiple places, including TMZ (which is highly accurate in these situations)
