Previous child actor Houston Tumlin, who played the child of Will Ferrell’s character in “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” has died by suicide, authorities said Wednesday.

The 28-year-old passed on in his Pelham, Alabama, home on Tuesday afternoon, Shelby County Coroner Lina Evans disclosed to NBC News.

Tumlin’s girlfriend was at home at the time and found his body, as indicated by the coroner.

It didn’t seem the former actor gave up a note. He had served in the armed forces and suffered PTSD and depression, Evans said.

“Talladega Nights,” released in 2006, was Tumlin’s just acting credit. He played Walker Bobby, the profane 10-year-old son of Ferrell’s lead character, Ricky Bobby.

He delighted in one particularly memorable scene when he and his on-screen brother — Texas Ranger Bobby, played by Grayson Russell — indecently sassed their granddad, played by Ted Manson, at the dinner table.

Directed by Adam McKay, he famous actor’s studded cast included Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jane Lynch, Leslie Bibb, Andy Richter, Molly Shannon, Michael Clarke Duncan, Greg Germann, Gary Cole and Amy Adams.
