BREAKING NOW: Robin Williams Found Dead

[Papageorgio]

Very sad news, you never know what is going on in a person's mind.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I find suicide hard to believe. Drug overdose more likely

Not hard to believe at all if you understand what's going on.

I will miss him but I really don't care about "what was going on"

Life is too short to be consumed with the problems others bring on themselves.

RIP Robin

Here's the release from the Marin County Sheriff's Office:


On August 11, 2014, at approximately 11:55 am, Marin County Communications received a 9-1-1 telephone call reporting a male adult had been located unconscious and not breathing inside his residence in unincorporated Tiburon, CA. The Sheriff’s Office, as well as the Tiburon Fire Department and Southern Marin Fire Protection District were dispatched to the incident with emergency personnel arriving on scene at 12:00 pm. The male subject, pronounced deceased at 12:02 pm has been identified as Robin McLaurin Williams, a 63 year old resident of unincorporated Tiburon, CA.

An investigation into the cause, manner, and circumstances of the death is currently underway by the Investigations and Coroner Divisions of the Sheriff’s Office. Preliminary information developed during the investigation indicates Mr. Williams was last seen alive at his residence, where he resides with his wife, at approximately 10:00 pm on August 10, 2014. Mr. Williams was located this morning shortly before the 9-1-1 call was placed to Marin County Communications.

All the money in the world and he couldn't stay off drugs. Too bad.

 

[Ropey]

RIP Robin

May those who love and care for you find solace in each other.

 

[Mr Liberty]

You know he was heading to 70 years old?

Aren't we all?

Sad news. When I read these stories of non-gun suicide I also wonder how these people manage to stay committed to the suicidal act as they're slowly dying. Asphyxia isn't quick.

I recall reports that Williams was bipolar and his comedy act sure had a manic quality to it, but that depressive down-cycle has to be tough to slog through. That's the thing with mental illness, reason can't trump it - he thought that death was better than life and so he chose death.

RIP Mork.

All the money in the world and he couldn't stay off drugs. Too bad.

No, he was all but bankrupt.

That's why he took a role in a stupid sitcom.

People said the same about Mickey Rooney but he had something like $16K when he died.

Can we please keep this civil?

Robin was a nice man. I met him at a couple of events - he quite charming. He will be greatly missed.

 

[RandallFlagg]

RIP Robin Williams - your talent will be missed.

I seem to recall a famous clown Marcel Marceau who once said - "I put my face on and make them laugh yet when the face comes off - it's still me, and I'm sad"

You died far too early........

 

[Gracie]

He was really good in Awakenings, too.
