A forensic investigation report released by Cameron County, Texas, has confirmed that the death of actor RJ Mitte, best known for playing Walter “Flynn” White Jr. on AMC’s Breaking Bad, was a suicide by hanging. Mitte, 34, died on October 12, 2023, in Brownsville, Texas, and was declared dead at 1:32 p.m. The report, obtained by Page Six and published on November 5, notes that an autopsy and toxicology analysis were requested, but the results were not included in the publicly available documents. Mitte’s death was first announced by his representative on October 12, who confirmed it was a suicide but did not provide further details at that time. The actor, who lived with cerebral palsy, had used his personal experience to inform his portrayal of Flynn White, bringing visibility to people with disabilities in the entertainment industry. He also served as an ambassador for United Cerebral Palsy and Shriners Children’s, organizations that support individuals with disabilities and children’s health. The news prompted statements of grief from several Breaking Bad cast members. Bryan Cranston, who played Flynn’s father, posted on Instagram: “I am deeply inconsolable as I write this tonight. RJ Mitte, my sweet son in Breaking Bad, has died.” He recalled meeting Mitte at age 14 when he was cast in the role, noting, “He was born with cerebral palsy, but never allowed that challenge to be an excuse for anything. He faced the demanding shooting schedule with great determination.” Aaron Paul, who portrayed Jesse Pinkman, said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter: “I have no words. I am devastated by this news. RJ, I love you, my friend. We will miss you.” Dean Norris, who played Hank Schrader, reflected on the bond he developed with Mitte during filming, noting his attentiveness to the young actor on set. Mitte’s passing also affected the community in Brownsville, where he had strong ties. A memorial service was held on October 16, during which his sister, Lacianne Carriere, expressed her intention to continue the projects he had championed locally. The report and subsequent reactions underscore the impact of Mitte’s life and career both on the entertainment industry and on the communities he served.
