I was absolutely devastated when I heard this tragic news. He was such a funny, inspiring, and wonderful man whose death has shocked those who knew him. May he forever Rest in Peace.

Robin Williams really was my childhood, and I have never been so sad to see an actor or actress die. I used to watch flubber and patch adams on repeat as a kid.

 

Not even going to lie, I shed a tear or two. He was my childhood.

I can second that. Plus Jumanji, Lets not forget about that childhood classic of his.

I actually read this on FB when i first woke up, i thought it was just another one of those fake/hoax deaths that people do.. then i went onto his Wikipedia and saw he did die from asphyxiation.

 

Funny thing is, i was only watching an interview of him on YT the night before, sucks really.. He was a great actor =(

It's terrible that someone that touched millions in such a happy way was hurting inside. The best word to describe him; happy.

I really dont feel that sad about him dying I guess cuz i didnt really watch a lot of movies on him but you can clearly see he was such a awesome and happy person just a shame depression got into him

Oh Captain my Captain! *Salutes*

It's been one horrific news story after another this summer, R.I.P.

 

Though I don't respect people who kill themselves, I find it cowardly. You hurt your family and friends, there's nothing right in doing that. It's selfish.

I don't disagree, but I suppose one could make the case that under the influences of Alcohol and/or Drugs, it can make somebody make irrational decisions like suicide.

That's very true. But for people who are completely sober and make that decision, I find it wrong.

Absolutely agreed. I guess we may not know in the case of Mr. Williams, we do know he was battling with alcoholism however. Very upsetting. 

I don't think that it was confirmed to be a suicide, yet. A forensic investigation was done yesterday though.

It was confirmed that he was sadly found hanging in what appears to be a suicide. No matter how he died, it was a real shock that someone who provided a great deal of happiness for people could silently suffer with such a mental illness of depression and various addictions. 

 

Robin Williams was a massive part of my childhood which is now tinged with sadness. 

 

May he forever rest in peace.
