BREAKING: Robin Williams kills himself

the world is just a little bit darker now...

gutted.

The problem with media these days, summed up in one screen shot.

Bunch of fuckers. But really, this just prooves what we already knew. I really have nothing meaningful to say that hasn't already been said, but fuck ABC, fuck them with a sharp spiked shank.

Disgusting. What do they want, him to return from the dead? The media your country, and, indeed, my own, is an disgrace. We're trying to force through a code of decency here. I pray that it has effect.

Jesus christ, can't I wake up just one morning to good news, ever? Fuck this day.

Something like that would be nice....but the bottom feeders would just scream "1st Amendment".

How did he kill himself?

Initial reports are saying asphyxiation, as in he strangled himself. I'm not sure if I agree, because it's far too early, and I don't trust muckrakers.

I saw Robert Sean Leonard in the clip, didn't realize he was in that movie.

Sad news, Robin Williams is one of my favorite comedians. Good Morning Vietnam is one of my favorite comedies. He will be missed.

I am heartbroken and in shock. He will always remain one of my all time favorite actors and a brilliant comedian. However, this news was not as surprising for me as I wish it had been. Many brilliant funny men have suffered from a deep dark depression that I'm sure none of us can really imagine. So sad.

Fucking legend. That guy could make me laugh like very few could.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

I hadn't realized he fell of the wagon. He went so long being sober and always seemed in good spirits.

oh?

What gets to me about all of this is that he brought so much laughter and happiness to the world. Even if you did not care for his humor you have to admit his comedy was a great experience for many people. I am not blaming anyone in the world about this because I do not know exactly what got to him, but it just does not seem right that a person like that has to suffer through such depression that with everything at his fingertips he could not find happiness to bring him through his problems. I have laughed so much at his comedy I wish I could have given him that back.

Then I look at the muck and shit of the the world and watch them live in happiness despite hurting and destroying others. I am not going to mention names here because you can come up with your own. You see those people every day and they do nopt think of offing themselves.

I guess what really hurts is I have been down there in that hole and seen so many people down in that hole and know what a horrible place it is. You hope he wasn't feeling alone, but it is obvious he was. He was surrounded by people who had to care for him. I wonder if it was the shame of not being able to fight the alcoholism and failing yet again to overcome that beast. I wonder what went through his head, and I wish I had a chance to talk to him.

However, instead of lamenting opportunities i would have never been given anyway I think I will make sure to check in on my friends and make sure they know they are not alone. I hope whatever comes after for Robin is happy and full of love. I do not subscribe to the suicide is a sin thing, and if I get to the end and some idiot god is sitting there punishing those of us that went through so much pain I think I am going to have to remove it.

Do you really think depression and anxiety is dependent on wealth and projected happiness? If you do, to have a lot to learn.

You talking to him would have solved it? I doubt it. His problem was deep rooted depression and it is not easy to escape from and, here's the worst part, most often it'snot rational, despite how bad you'd like it to be during the good times.

Are you religious? because Williams was a humanist. You might need to revise your thinking to respect him like I do.

Fucking hell, I miss the man, and I didn't even know him......

I actually meant that he was high as a kite for some of his career. I have no idea if he was on the stuff recently.

My guess would be car exhaust in a closed garage. I'm sure we'll know in the next 24-48 hours.

I never much cared for his manic style of comedy, but I greatly enjoyed many of his dramatic roles. I often wished he could have resisted the urge to inject his stand-up routine into some of those roles.

Regardless, a tragedy.

What I was doing there is pretty much whining. I do understand the world does not work in a fair way, but this is one of those areas where I really wish it did. He did make some of the best comedy. That is something that has made my life better for having seen it. To have lost him to depression and suicide hurts because even if he did not know me he had brought laughter and happiness to my life. I really wish the best for him.

I tend to help people in deep depression and addiction. I am actually pretty good at it. I do not know if I could have done anything. Perhaps he was so far gone there was nothing to do but hope that there was some peace in death. But still I have been there both helping people out of depression and driving them to suicide. It is because I understand people so well that I can do these things, and have done them. It is also why I am quite adept at trolling. But please do feel free to think I am full of shit as I have no desire to prove any of this.

I do believe in a future for what would be called a soul. Please do not think I am one of those dippy christian types. One of Robin's works actually mirrors some of my spiritual philosophy. That was "What Dreams May Come," and perhaps "Hook." Oh, and you should evaluate other's philosophy for yourself, and I do. I certainly am not looking to respect him like you do because that would be silly of me. I will respect him in my own way, and i hope it does not disturb you, though I am not going to care much if it does.

I do not miss him as I never have known him personally and I have access to the media which I have known him through. I feel sadness for the way he went, and wish him happiness. Sorry if I confused you with my statement before.

I'm pretty sure he was, according to sources.

I wonder if the cancellation of The Crazy Ones was a factor.

I watched a few of those shows, It was OK at best, Not his best stuff. But the man was a legend, For ALL the movies I can think of he was in, there are MANY more I am missing. I hope he finds the peace he was seeking and could not find here in this life. HE WILL BE MISSED.

Anyone remember this one? Robin played the mime instructor. One of his smaller but very funny roles.

Fuck sake.

Loved almost all of his movies - Dead Poets Society and Good Will Hunting are among my all-time favourites.

Could be. An actor from a soap I used to watched got triggered by a storyline involving the death of his TV daughter. He'd just recently lost his mother and brother and was still dealing with that.

Depression sucks.

Absolutely priceless video of an entire audience turning its back on Robin Williams.

He handled it like a gentleman.

Marin County Sheriff's office is saying he was found in one of his bedrooms with a belt around his neck. I hate to admit it, but my first thought was a potential auto-erotic asphyxiation misadventure.

But the the sheriff said Williams also had some cuts on his left wrist and a bloody pocketknife was found nearby.

Sad that someone who brought such joy to so many people was struggling so horribly with his own demons.

Stopped by the bench from Good Will Hunting. It's turning in to a bit of a shrine. Here are a few shots:
