So sorry for your loss.

He's talked at length about his depression and his alcohol/cocaine abuse. Bummer. Godspeed.

Very sad news. I'm also dreading the inevitable barrage of posts on FB saying, "Why do we care about a stupid celebrity who killed himself? We lose real heroes every day and no one cares!!!!!!!"

Of course, it probably won't be as bad since Williams was a 60something something comedian and not a 20something actor/musician.

holy crap... for as great as a comedian/actor as Williams was, he certainly had some inner demons.

Jim Jefferies did a piece in one of his stand up acts about going to a hotel room with another comic that he didn't name and two girls. The other comedian was almost to the point of raping them when Jefferies claims he stepped in and stopped it. Apparently the comedian got mad and left. While Jefferies never said the name of the comedian, he apparently left enough clues in the act that people figure out it was Williams.

Said he committed suicide via asphyxia

Robin Williams was so witty, so effortlessly witty. We all have inner demons that need dealt with for daily life.
Peace to him and prayers for his family.

Watching What Dreams May Come now will have a weird feeling for me

Woooooow. I'm usually more on the kind of shocked or "wow how about that" side when I hear of a celebrity death, but this one may really hit me. I know he had his issues, but just not one you'd expect to hear.

Pretty sure that was Tim Allen, not Williams.

He was the first 'adult humor' comedian I ever liked.

Wow. Unbelievable sad. Mrs. Doubtfire was one of my favorites as a kid. He was just an immensely talented, naturally funny person.

I've always heard Dennis Leary.

Also, this is the most bummed I've been about a celebrity death in a very long time. Off to watch Good Morning Vietnam.

That's how I feel. He brought a lot of laughs and smiles to my life and the life of my family.

So many classic movies and comedy bits and tv shows. If your feeling sad....please tell someone.

Was just telling my oldest son last night that Good Will Hunting could be my favorite movie just because of Williams performance.
