He had been in rehab, and had been seeking treatment for severe depression. So sad...He was one of the all-time great funny men.

Early reports (which may be nothing more than speculation) are saying the cause of death may be suicide by asphyxiation.

I would like to claim that the method of his death comes as a complete shock to me.
I would REALLY LIKE to be able to claim this.
But I cannot. It fits the pattern too well. HE fit the pattern too well. I would have preferred the story to have had a different ending in his case. I felt he deserved a different ending.

I own a copy of What Dreams May Come but have not yet seen it. I think I will have to remedy this before month's end.

This one hit me a lot harder than I would have thought it would

That being said I will keep holding onto my spark of madness and do my best not to lose it. :(

I know he had a history of substance abuse, which isn't unheard of to self-medicate other problems. I'm just heart-sick he felt this was his solution.

I'm going to feel really bad for Nick when he sees this thread. He always talks about that movie being one of his encouragers during his darkest time. Then to see Williams end his own life like that.

I was reading some other news on Yahoo and saw this and said - "No way. Someone fell for a death hoax thing."

Then I saw it was pretty much all over everywhere.

Suicide.

Damn.

I don't think I've been affected by a Celebrity death like this since Steve Irwin passed away.

Episode 6 of the third season of Louie called Barney/Never.

It's one of my favorite things Robin Williams ever did.

I also consider Williams a role model, and still view his legacy in that light, but one of the things about role models is that you learn from their behavior and improve on it. And one of the improvements I plan to implement would be...to not commit suicide, obviously. I don't know the rationale that led to his decision (assuming it's not an elaborate murder setup, of course), but I have to assume that my committing suicide would count as probably be the worst way to honor his memory. No matter how shitty my life might be at times, I'm sure it's barely a squirt in the outhouse compared to what he's gone through.

I can't handle this.

Little tip: If you announce the suicide of someone famous, maybe not starting it with "Not at all surprising but..." is a good idea so people don't think you're a self-centered, callous attention whore.

(Sorry. Nothing to do with anyone here. Just infuriated at that attitude. I never thought that even of all the people I talked to on a suicide hotline. If it's not surprising to you, keep your fucking giant mouth shut.)

((Again, sorry. Just venting and crying.))

I hope when he arrives in Heaven, Mikko is sitting there in a hot tub next to Marilyn Monroe waiting to give him a cold brew.
