He was a cocaine addict and an alcoholic for years. It fucks with your serotonin levels after decades of abuse to the point that some people can never feel happiness without being under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. A sad, but cautionary, lesson for people. Sounds like he hung himself, based on what out there.
Williams was found unconscious in his home in unincorporated Tiburon, California, at around 12 p.m. on Monday, August 11, 2014. The Marin County Coroner Division suspects the death to be suicide by asphyxia, pending investigation.
I think I saw that he had blown his fortune and was in deep money trouble. He tried to make a go of a new sitcom that flopped. Damn. Funny man. His serious acting was quite good, too.
Really makes me sad. Really hate to see suicide happen, thoughts with his friends and family. Great actor, I was a huge fan of his.
One Hour Photo was great. He was so creepy in it. This interview gives some information on his financial woes. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/13/robin-williams_n_3923027.html
[video=youtube;GtkST5-ZFHw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtkST5-ZFHw[/video] I'll always remember him from Mork and Mindy though.
One of my all time favorites. This is truly sad. Had a co-worker who worked with him on "World's Greatest Dad"... said he was one of the most genuine people you could meet. Good Will Hunting, One Hour Photo... those showed he could do ANY movie. One of the true great versitale actors of our generation. He will be sorely missed.
Robin was close friends with Jonathan Winters who dealt with severe depression his entire life. It was hilarious to see these two together. [video=youtube;_NqEKvk9F4I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NqEKvk9F4I[/video] [video=youtube;iDJjq0Pd0RM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDJjq0Pd0RM[/video]
I'll pray for him. He was very brave to live with ADD In all seriousness, I hope his family deals with this as best they can. He was a very funny man, and probably a better dramatic actor.....which is saying something
I remember how surprised I was the first time I heard that he had attended Juilliard. Prior to that, I had thought of him as just some random (really) funny guy. I hadn't realized that he was actually a legitimate actor. A true talent.
Such a funny guy. Will always love some of his movies and comedy. Anyone who commits suicide is a coward. Just think of what his family is going through. It's such a selfish act.
