For all who don't know, Robin Williams was a great comedian and actor. He struggled with depression and he killed himself yesterday. It's a total bummer, he was one of my all time favorite comedians. RIP Robin Williams.

I can't honestly believe that it was suicide, but he was struggling with addiction so it does seem as it is the truth.

It's very very sad because I've watched so many of his movies.

R.I.P in pieces Robin Williams.

Robin Williams was one of the first iconic actors that I was familiar with growing up through my childhood. It's really mournful to see his passing, especially so that he took his own life. Whatever he was struggling with, I hope he's at peace now.

Rest In Peace Mr Williams! He changed the lives of many, and its truly a tragedy that he had to resort to hanging himself.

This is very saddening. Just the night before I was watching Mrs. Doubtfire. While growing up i watched a few movies that had Robin in them. When I found out about his passing I just froze, I didn't even know what to think.

R.I.P Mr. Williams, you will be greatly missed.

I saw this about an hour after it was reported, at first thought it was fake.

This is world news, because it happened in the world. The section isn't restricted to international news and whatnot. I'm opening the thread and I'll be severely punishing any further trolling. Someone died and all you guys are doing is bickering about the section.

I thought it was odd that reporters have only said that he died of "asphyxiation" (as there are a dozen ways to die of that). One of my family members said he hung himself. What's really weird is that there are a couple of movies he was in being released in the near future. It's a real shame he's died. I didn't know he had issues with substance abuse or that he was depressed. It seems really odd that someone who always appeared so happy would be dealing with depression. But, since he was a comedian, you probably wouldn't see him unhappy often. The world will be a worse off place without him.

It's funny, because I was dropping by a driving school (even though I have a license) and a couple of highschoolers were talking about it. Initially I laughed, thinking it was a hoax and they were playing a prank on the instructor. I looked it up on my phone, found that it was real, and everyone heard me say "oh, shit".

Total shame, was just watching Aladdin with my nieces too. RIP

I was actually just talking with my dad about how a lot of comedians have two sides to them. One side that the world sees and another side that only a few know about because they can't show it in the way other actors and such do. Robin Williams seems like someone who would have that second side to him, but others like Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill and that crew probably don't.
