Saw this up in news and rumours and assumed it would be a hoax, looked it up and I'm gutted to see it's true. Sad, sad news indeed.

1-800-273-8255 is a suicide prevention hotline. Do not be afraid or feel ashamed if you think you need to use it.

(Disclaimer: at least in the US it is... not sure of the equivalent from other places)

Nanoo nannoo my man. May God release you from your demons and grant you a mainliner gig in Heaven.

You brought happiness to many. May that happiness shine on you now.

Peace and love to those left behind.

This is truly a tragic day. Williams has touched all of us in some way, most commonly as the Genie in Aladdin. The man was a genius in all that he has done. The world is truly darker at his passing. I hope that those among us with religious beliefs follow my thought that such a great man doesn't deserve the flames-hopefully God made an exception and took him up.

You will be missed-you've done some amazing things, and you will never be forgotten.


In my religion, i prefer to believe he was taken to valhalla

If it indeed is a suicide, I think it points out how, some of our most beloved comedians are some carrying around the most pain.

People aren't aware that comedians are frequently depressed or have at least a pessimistic outlook?

The only way we can ever solve anything is to look in the mirror and find no enemy

A truly talented guy. The world is a little darker. Can't wait to see him again.

Captain Killhammer McFighterson stared down at the surface of Earth from his high vantage point on the bridge of Starship Facemelter. Something ominous was looming on the surface. He could see a great shadow looming just underneath the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, slowly spreading northward. "That can't be good..." he muttered to himself while rubbing the super manly stubble on his chin with one hand. "But... on the other hand..." he looked at his shiny new bionic murder-arm. "This could be the perfect chance for that promotion." A perfect roundhouse kick slammed the ship's throttle into full gear. Soon orange jets of superheated plasma were visible from the space-windshield as Facemelter reentered the atmosphere at breakneck speed.

I think there are some out there who do realize that many comedians are the way they are because they carry a bunch of gak around and can be some of the most depressed people out there... but others not so much.

I'm speechless, and more then a little grief stricken, I mean I was no super fan, but he was one of those people you just knew and loved no matter what they did, to see him leave the world, even worse by his own hands, is beyond the scope of the word "tragic"...

Rest in peace Mr. Robin Williams, thanks for all the years of laughter...

Not many Celebrity deaths get to me, this one did hard. I truly am sad over this. I thought it was a hoax because that does happen on the internet from time to time. But after more and more news covered it, reality set in.
