Robin Williams Dead
 

So incredibly sad.

I'm so bummed about this. He was a fantastic actor.

So very, very sad. God Bless him

What a shame, he was a very talented man. He brought laughter to millions of people, such a shame he couldn't wipe out his own unhappiness. He will be missed.

sooooo sad! I liked him very much he sure made me laugh.:(

just seen that on news. rip crazy guy. bless the family

I just read that. He was such a good actor. Coming into his own. so sad he had such troubles. I wish him peace.

I'm so sad about this-- it just happened too close to home, literally and figuratively. His home was very near where I live, and so he was a "local." I also have many artists in my family and know this struggle too well. And on top of it, my good friend's son died this morning. So I just feel sad. :-(

Praying that he is now at peace and praying for his family. They must be more than devastated.

What a tragic loss for everyone. His family must be devastated.

This makes me so sad.

It's a pity that some of the funniest people have the saddest lives. They make us laugh when they want to cry. He was just three years older than me.

So sad. It just goes to show that a lot of people struggle with their issues, no matter how famous or how much money someone has or doesn't have. He was incredibly talented and he'll be missed.

Lots of sadness in the world. Loved Robin Williams. He made a choice. Others....not so much.

i rec'd a call yesterday from the DH of one of my best friends. She lost her battle with cancer. Was facing her third go round of chemo. (5 year battle ). Puts things in perspectiveve. She was 57. She wont be here to see her only child walk down the aisle. She got engaged as mom lay in a hospital bed. Her friends are also devastated.

Laughter....is a mask at times.

What a shock when I found out. Didn't know he was struggling with his own demons. RIP Robin Williams you will be missed.

People make their own choices. I am truly sorry for his family. I know too many people with cancer and other illnesses that are fighting with every ounce of strength that they have to live -- like my husband did. He did not live.
May God have mercy on Robin William's soul.

You never know someones struggles. It broke my heart the hear he had been struggling with depression. One would never consider a man that spent his life make others laugh would have a hard time with inner peace.

So many brilliant people choose to end their own life & struggle with deep depression. Robin was another, he is already greatly missed. He's gone on to other adventures.

So so sad. He was such a talented actor and comedian.

Nanu, Nanu Captain, My Captain. He has left a legacy of work that is as diverse as his was.

The world has an empty spot today. So many in sadness for one who made the world laugh and all the time, inside, he was crying. May he now rest in peace.

He was an alcoholic, this is not uncommon. Always sad, he will be missed greatly.

So sad! He was one of my favorites. Money and success doesn't ensure happiness. He will be missed. Bless his family.

I grew up watching his comedy; he reminded me very very much of my father's best friend. Similar wacky sense of humor, similar appearance, even. Weirdly, similar struggles in life - both passed from suicide.

I'm sorry to see you go, Funny Man.

He was the same age a me, and I understand his struggles for I too have struggled with depression for many years as a result of a bad experience that threw me into PTSD like symptoms and depression. That was 10 years ago. :(

Sending prayers from the gulf for all those who are fighting those inner demons that just will not leave one alone. Many comments from individuals who called him selfish. Many who take their own lives feel they are such a burden on their family because they see pain in the eyes of their loved ones who actually are just wanting to help relieve them of the burden. RIP Robin Williams and all who have been down that ugly road of depression.

Sooo sad. I remember when he first appeared in "Mork and Mindy" and being fascinated because I had never seen a comic with such talent before. And who can forget "Good Morning Vietnam" and "Mrs. Doubtfire"? Such incredible talent ... he will be deeply missed.

Both Robin Williams and his idol, Jonathan Winters, suffered from mental illness and depression. So sad. Both of these comic geniuses will live on thru their work.

Ditto in every respect.

I've been watching the news this morning and no one has mentioned that Robin Williams made a movie in the 90's, What Dreams may Come, that was about depression and suicide after the loss of a loved one. It was a box office failure and quite an odd side of Robin. But I wonder if maybe it was a look inside his mind?

I will treasure the many movies and comedy skits he made and recorded. He was so profoundly talented. He left his mark on all who saw his work.

Robin Williams
 

We never know what sadness lies behind a smiling face. So so sad that this happened to someone who was loved so much everywhere. He will be missed...sending prayers to his family.

There are other comics who have become successful at acting but I think that for this century, he may be the most talented comedian. Nobody can ever replace his gift for ad-libing especially script lines. I will probably cry and laugh at the same time when I see the next sequel of Night in the Museum. Since everyone calls their phones smart, I call my DUMB DUMB.

May the Genie finally be FREE !!

i am truly hoping I have misinterpreted your message here. Depression is an ILLNESS. The same as cancer. When the brain is not functioning correctly sometimes it is NOT a choice. Please educate yourself before you make these type of statements.
Bless you poor Robin. :(

Robin Williams was a comic genius and was multi-talented. He always made me laugh. My prayers go out to his family at this most difficult time.
