Wow. I just read this. Robin Williams dead from suicide by asphyxia.
You never know what's going on in a persons life.
He was one of the funniest men on earth and certainly comfortable in the wealth department. Gotta wonder what demons were taking residence in his soul.
Rest in peace Mork.

What a shame.

He was one of my favorites of all time. I put him right up there with Red Skelton. Red didn't need the profanity (not that it offends me) and Williams didn't either depending what venue he was in.
He was extremely talented but tormented by demons we can only imagine.
Sad...very sad
Sad, very sad. Such talent but unable to deal with life. We have lost a great comic to drugs and drink. RIP Mr Williams.

It seems every "artist" has a dark side, no matter if they are a painter, musician or actor. I have a friend that is a tattoo artist that kicked a decade long heroin addiction. I have another friend that sold 15 million albums as part of a band. He is no longer part of that band because of his drug issues. He is clean now thankfully. It sure does seem that people that can really create things are more often than not, right on the razors edge mentally.
Spent a little time around him on the "Hook" set. He was always pleasant, down to earth and personable.
Sorry he left so soon.

That's sad. He was my all time favorite comedian. Whenever I have a really bad day, I Google interviews with him. He cracks me up so much, his brand of funny never fails to make my day better.

RIP
Very sad. I have read that he was difficult to work with only because he could and would improvise so much he was hard to keep up with.
I enjoyed watching his stuff. What a shame.
Robin Williams did a lot of good in his short time here, very sorry to hear of his passing.

I think he was the ultimate ADHD type; he will be missed.

If you've never seen Robin Williams' "American Flag" check it out on Utube.
Unfortunately it seems like that the same traits that make people very creative are often shared with ones that make them susceptible to this kind of thing.
He was probably the best improvisational comic of his generation, if not ever. What a shame.

Armed people don't march into gas chambers.
What a shame. Funny man, he will be missed. I wonder if he would have know that his death would reach a forum like this and if it would have made a difference.
I remember seeing him perform in Kuwait in late 2003 or early 2004 as part of a USO show (I hadn't moved north yet at the time). Most of the celebs the USO brought wouldn't go in Iraq, Robin Williams did and when I looked at his schedule of where and when he was performing in the Stars and Stripes, he must have never slept. So many locations all over Iraq in about three or four days, he must have done a show, jumped on a helicopter and done the next show for the whole time he was there. Good man, I am very saddened to hear of his passing. Suicide is the saddest thing that can happen to anybody.
Funny guy with very liberal politics. http://hollowverse.com/robin-williams/
If he was a hard core conservative I wonder if the MSM would be so kind?

Maybe, but he was in the right camp where those of us in uniform were concerned.
