Very sad - apparently had a long history of depression - most of his work was built on nervous energy, so I think he had a lot of esteem and personal issues that he found hard to deal with. |

I was really sad to see this news. I literally grew up watching his films and two of his movies are some of my favorites from my childhood, Hook & Mrs Doubtfire.
You never know what someone is dealing with in their personal life and its sad to hear someone you envision being so jovial all of the time dealing with such terrible depression.

I read about this like 40 min ago. At first I thought it was a hoax... sadly it turned out true. I read a few years back that he had heart surgery so that pop right into my head, but it looks to be a suicide. He was a good actor and a bit notorious for stealing jokes among stand up circles. I really enjoyed him in movies like One Hour Photo, The Fisher King, Awakenings. May he rest in peace. |

I hurt with him...I know this sounds morbid, but at least the pain is gone now and hopefully he is at peace.
He touched many lives. Sad night. |

I wish the way in which he died wasn't so important to many. His family and friends do not need to be hounded, which is what the unnecessary speculation leads to.
The depth of feeling for this extremely talented man owes to his body of work, and that ability to touch millions around the world is where the focus should be.
RIP Robin Williams. |

Quoted from Dreamscale It's always so sad when peeps such as Robin decide their world is so difficult that they have to end it. It makes no sense to me, as I've struggled with very tough times for prolonged periods of time, and although I have indeed had such thoughts, I believe in life and persevering through thick and thin.

I think we've all been there, at one time or another. That thought has cross our minds. But no one knows each person's specific circumstances, what they're made of or how much they can take. So passing judgement is useless. On some level I understand suicide. If a person feels that there is no point in going on, then they have the right to end it. It's their life, their choice. Maybe even objectively some people have no reason to preserver or anything to look forward to. Circumstances vary tremendously, when I was younger I was quicker to judge, now I just try to understand. |

As WW once said -
Quoted from John Keating "O Captain! My Captain!" |
A fine actor and a genuinely hilarious comedian. He was the type of guy you'd expect to be around for the next twenty years at least. Sorely missed. R.I.P. R |
