    How could he if his fingers were shaking all over the place?
    What, too soon? Robin would have laughed!

    Parkinson's?

    What an awful diagnosis for someone who was so animated...

    Can we be sure this was really a suicide? Isn't it possible he contracted ebola and they're covering it up for the obvious reasons?

    The only difference between the deaths of Robin Williams and David Carradine is that someone who personally knew personally found him first.

    No kidding.

    Few diseases would have me staring down the business end of a Baretta, and this is at the top of the list, next to pancreatic cancer.:shrug:

    I stand corrected.
    His representatives said he wasn't having money troubles.

    That's the primary opinion of many of the people who knew him. A reaction to his Parkinsons med, the meds he was taking for his heart, or the combination of the two. A lot of my Facebook buddies are comedians, and include a number of folks who knew him pretty well, and this has been a major aspect of their conversations. Many agree that he'd been especially moody and withdrawn since his last heart surgery.

    I didn't realize it was an open-heart procedure. That in and of itself often leads to depression. Add it to lifelong depression, then throw in Parkinson's meds...poor guy didn't have a chance.

    Yeah. Definitely sounds like a kind of "perfect storm" that hit him. None of which individually might've pushed him to suicide.

    Come to think of it, he can never break Francisco Franco's record. :(
