RJ Mitte’s loved ones are still grappling with his loss.
Four days after the Breaking Bad star’s death from suicide, his mom Dyna Mitte shared insight into the day he died, including what led to her discovering his body.
“I called him at 11. He didn’t answer,” Dyna told NBC News, adding that RJ often slept until noon so she hadn’t been concerned. “I picked up lunch and went to take it to him, and that’s when I discovered him.”
Dyna shared she thinks RJ’s decision to take his own life was “spur of the moment,” noting he hadn’t left a note. As for the 34-year-old’s mental health at the time, Dyna shared he’d been navigating issues “that he was very hurt over.”
Because of this, Dyna said she’d been encouraging RJ—who shared his engagement to Kennedy Suarezin the fall of 2025—to seek professional help.
“For the last three months,” she said, “I’d been offering for him to go to therapy, trying to get him to go there, but he was like, ‘No, I’ve got it. It’s OK. I’m handling it.’”
