RJ Mitte’s Sister Recalls the Call About His Death
Lacianne Carriere, sister of late Breaking Bad actor RJ Mitte, described getting a phone call informing her that he had died on October 12 at age 34. In an Instagram post, she said his drink was still on her table when she learned the news and reflected on their close relationship. She also promised to keep his memory alive and noted how deeply he shaped her tastes and interests.
Lacianne Carriere posted on Instagram on Oct. 23, nearly two weeks after her brother RJ Mitte died by suicide on Oct. 12 at 34. She recalled learning the news while a strawberry soda he had been drinking was still on her coffee table, and she shared previously unseen photos and videos of him.
Mitte, known for Breaking Bad and The Oak Room, had announced his engagement to Kennedy Suarez in fall 2025. Carriere described him as central to her tastes in music, film, and video games, and said he taught her to value small keepsakes. She vowed to preserve his memory.
The story may resonate most with Mitte’s fans and with people grieving sudden loss, especially siblings. Its focus on family memories and suicide could encourage more open discussion of grief and mental health, while also raising sensitivity concerns around reporting suicide. For entertainment audiences, it may deepen appreciation of Mitte’s work and remind readers that celebrity deaths carry private family consequences.
