Robin Williams Dead From Suspected Suicide - Update

[Deathfish15]

This maybe in a bit of bad taste, but here goes....


Robin Williams is depressed.

Robin Williams kills himself.

Everyone in the world now depressed.

The last joke of Robin Williams is to make everyone else feel as he felt?

 

[Rad Party God]

Hook and Aladdin were my freaking childhood... Man, what a terrible loss :'(

You will be truly missed Mr. Williams.

 

[Frankster]

R.I.P

At this point in time I'd say my most fond memory of him was from Aladdin though I enjoyed other films he has been in, heck watched a bit of jumanji the other day.

I'll echo what others said when I honestly thought of him as a cheerful man so came as quite a bit of a shock and initially thought article must have been about some other williams.

Luckily Williams was a donor. The hair on his left arm alone will be able to service five thousand cancer patients world wide.

Rest In Peace.

 

[Chester Rabbit]

This is a joke right?...


EDIT: I honestly don't know how to react right now I kind of just feel like everything just stopped. No way is Robin Williams dead..

 

[Lunar Templar]

I had the honor of seeing him live once, it was truly fantastic.

I like most of his work, even Bicentennial Man and Patch Adams.

but this?

Still feels like some one's gonna find out this story is fake and over exaggerated

 

[Jadak]

Well then. Wasn't expecting this. Well i respect a persons right to off themselves. Here to hoping he finds peace where ever he's at.

Btw , it says suspected suicide, any idea how? Maybe i missed it in the thread.

Asphyxiation. Haven't heard more beyond that.

I'll be assuming accidental death via belt due to choking fetish until confirmed otherwise.

 

[crimsonshrouds]

Well this definitely got to me... Robin Williams will be missed.

I'm really shocked by this. My kids have been watching Mrs Doubtfire the last few days and I was just thinking about him. I knew he'd struggled with depression and substance abuse (which is often a corollary for people with depression) for ages. I guess it fueled his genius in some ways with how he could switch gear from those manic highs to those maudlin lows. I wish this were a joke perpetrated by Williams; but unfortunately it ain't and the world has lost a great comedian, and by all reports an even greater person.

 

[Mahorfeus]

Robin Williams is one of my childhood heroes, and yet, I just kind of took his existence for granted. I figured that the guy would live forever. That naivety just stuck for some reason. I can't imagine what he must have gone through. It's just cruel irony that a man so good at making other people happy had so much depression pent up.

 

[MrHide-Patten]

Don't care what anybody else thinks, I fuckin' loved Bicentenial Man... as a kid. I didn't really commit a lot of people to mind as a kid, but any time is saw Robin Williams in something, I knew I was in for a treat. Depression takes another person too soon, it wouldn't have been as bad if it was his heart (which he hade a least one major operation on that I know of) had given out, but to know it was by choice... really sucks ass.

Now I'm gonna go watch every movie of his I can find, needed a better send off than 'Angriest Man in Brooklyn'.

 

[DragonsAteMyMarbles]

God damn it.
I'm going to have to watch Aladdin tomorrow. And cry.

Depression doesn't fight fair.

I think part the reason this news is hitting some people so hard is because so many are or have been afflicted by the same thing.
It knows your weaknesses. It hits you exactly where it hurts. Sometimes the most difficult thing in the world is not to listen to that little voice.
That Robin Williams succumbed wasn't due to any weakness on his part. Even the strongest of us can only take so much.

 

[Dissmillus]

Man, I don't even know what to say, this still seems so surreal I almost don't believe it. Like many here I don't remember a celebrity death ever affecting me like this before, he will be missed.

 

[Keiichi Morisato]

Dear Internet: The best way to honor Robin Williams' life is to maybe *not* draw 10,000 shitty pictures of Aladdin crying over an empty lamp

*in the middle of drawing*
*reads forum post*
*quickly erases the drawing*
don't mind me, i am just drawing the kids from Mrs. Doubtfire crying over a wig.

 

[Master_of_Oldskool]

We'll never see a live-action Pokémon movie now. Not unless they find a way to leave Professor Oak out of it entirely.

Fuck me, this sucks.

I've been letting World's Greatest Dad languish in my Netflix queue for a while. Think I'll give it a watch tonight.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I'm going to respect the family and the man by inquiring no further. Depression strikes again. :/

 

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

He was one of us, seriously his daughter's name was Zelda Rae Williams.

 

[Starik20X6]

One of a kind, never to be forgotten.

I've gone and watched Robin Williams' episode of "Who's Line Is It Anyway". Seems like a fitting tribute to the man. It will forever be the best episode.

"So then I said, 'get off me Grandma, I'm done!'"

 

[Darklupus]

No, no, no, no, no, no no! I knew he was depressed, but I didn't know it would come to this! Gosh darn no!

"So, I'm looking out my back window, and there's Robin and his grandmother, and I'm like-!"

It's a shame to think there are people out there who haven't seen that episode. D:
