According to TMZ, Sawyer Sweeten was "upbeat" and "showed no signs of depression," which is why Sweeten's family is in shock that the 19-year-old would commit suicide by shooting himself on the porch of a family home in Texas. Sweeten was upstairs while his relatives were downstairs and suspected nothing.

TMZ reported that sources close to Sweeten said he was a "very positive person" and was excited for the upcoming 10th anniversary of the show's finale. Sources also told TMZ that Sweeten showed no signs of depression.

According to TMZ, Sweeten's family is having a particularly hard time because they did not know that Sweeten was suicidal.
