"Rizzoli & Isles" actor Lee Thompson Young has unfortunately committed suicide. He was 29.

The actor also starred in Disney's "The Famous Jett Jackson".

Lee Thompson Young's body was discovered by his landlord. Thompson's co-stars from "Rizzoli & Isles" asked that someone check in on the actor when he did not show up for work.

"Everyone at Rizzoli & Isles is devastated by the news of the passing of Lee Thompson Young," a rep for the show said in statement. "We are beyond heartbroken at the loss of this sweet, gentle, good-hearted, intelligent man. He was truly a member of our family.

The statement added, "Lee will be cherished and remembered by all who knew and loved him, both on- and off screen, for his positive energy, infectious smile and soulful grace. We send our deepest condolences and thoughts to his family, to his friends and, most especially, to his beloved mother."

It's the latest in a spate of suicides this week, including those of Lee Thompson Young, "The Bachelor" contestant Gia Allemand, and possibly a worker for Olivia Newton John, who was found dead on her property.

Law enforcement officials press that they could not yet comment on Young's death.

Thompson, who is a South Carolina native, first appeared on "The Famous Jett Jackson" and in the Disney flick "Johnny Tsunami." He later appeared on the TV shows "Smallville" and "Scrubs" before joining the cast of "Rizzoli & Isles" as

detective Barry Frost.

"It is with great sadness that I announce that Lee Thompson Young tragically took his own life this morning," longtime manager Jonathan Baruch said in a statement. "Lee was more than just a brilliant young actor, he was a wonderful and gentle soul who will be truly missed. We ask that you please respect the privacy of his family and friends as this very difficult time."
