Overview
- An official Cameron County inquest obtained by journalists records RJ Mitte’s manner of death as suicide by hanging and gives a pronouncement time of 1:32 p.m. on Oct. 12.
- Mitte was found at his home in Brownsville, Texas, by his mother, who has said she discovered him after a missed phone call and a lunch visit.
- The inquest notes that autopsy and toxicology testing were requested; the results were not included in the records obtained by outlets and remain pending.
- Family members have asked for privacy while using public attention to urge mental‑health awareness, and several former Breaking Bad co‑stars including Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and Dean Norris have issued tributes.
- Mitte, 34, was best known for playing Walter ‘Flynn’ White Jr. and for his disability‑advocacy work, and officials’ release of full forensic results will be the next factual development to watch.
