RJ Mitte, the actor best known for his role on the Emmy-winning television show “Breaking Bad,” has died, according to a spokesperson from the office of Justice of the Peace Cyndi Hinojosa in Brownsville, Texas.

The spokesperson said the 34-year-old actor died Monday, and that it’s an ongoing investigation.

The Brownsville Police Department told CNN they received an emergency call around midday local time on Monday. Mitte was already deceased when police arrived, they said. No foul play is suspected at this time.

In a statement shared by his representatives, Mitte’s family confirmed his passing and honored his philanthropy work as an ambassador for United Cerebral Palsy and Shriners Children’s, as well as through The Mitte Foundation. They also highlighted how he used “his platform to challenge stereotypes and promote greater representation for people with disabilities.”

Mitte – who lived with cerebral palsy – portrayed the son of Bryan Cranston’s Walter White across all five seasons of “Breaking Bad,” the TV hit that aired on AMC from 2008 to 2013, amassing many awards and accolades during its run including what was then known as a SAG Award for best ensemble.

“I’m in deep despair,” Cranston said in a statement Monday night, expressing his condolences and recounting their time working together.

“I met him when he was only 14 years old when he was cast as Walter White Jr., a part he played with such joy and enthusiasm,” Cranston said. “Born with Cerebral Palsy, he never — ever — allowed that challenge to be an excuse for anything. He met the demanding shooting schedule head on with great determination.”

“I loved him, and thoroughly enjoyed being with him throughout the years on the series, and after the spotlight on Breaking Bad dimmed…I’ll miss you, son,” he wrote.

A young start

Mitte was born in Lafayette, Louisiana, in 1992, and moved to Hollywood at the age of 14 with his family in support of his sister, after she was discovered by an agent as a toddler in Houston, Texas.

He initially got work as an extra on shows like “Everybody Hates Chris” and “7th Heaven,” and his first listed job on IMDb is the uncredited role of school jock on TV’s “Hannah Montana” in 2007.
