A Real Shocker !!

[68R/T]

I just read that Robin Williams did himself in.

Truely a major loss in the entertainment world. Such talent & wit can never be replaced.

The article said that he had been suffering from depression of late. How could someone so loved by so many ever be depressed?

Rest in peace Mork.

I was vert disappointed to hear about this, but I can't say I'm overly surprised or shocked. Comedians often need laughter like a junkie needs heroin and live in very dark moods or depressions offstage. He's not the first, but he certainly was the most-famous example of it happening.

Thanks for the laughs, Robin. I wish you could've made yourself smile as much as you did your fans.

Holy Crap...Really!! [smilie=2: I had not heard....so sad to hear.

I grew up watching him and wondering what it was like inside his head. He was the funniest comedian I can think of, while I was growing up. Truly a sad day. The world hasone less reason to laugh now. R.I.P. Robin! I hope you find the peace whereever you are now, that you couldn't find here.

Shitty news.

Drugs & alcohol + depression = despair.

So very sad...
The guy was a comedic genius. I remember him being on with Johnny Carson one night - Carson wet himself, I'm sure, he was laughing so hard.
A rare gift, gone forever.

To be that low, when ending it seems the only way out... hard to fathom.
