Robin Williams Dies At 63

[Tony]

This is a WTF week if there ever was one. First all of the stuff with Stewart, and now they are saying that Williams committed Suicide? Really want to hear the official cause of this one. If he really is dead, he will be missed. Loved watching his movies.

Such a sad day, comic genius and a legend of an actor, rest in peace Robin

 

[Tony]

If the reports are true, I hope this helps to open up help for those that are depressed and thinking about suicide. A friend of mine put it perfectly. Maybe comedians make jokes to try and hide the suffering. Williams was always open about his struggles. Just too bad he couldn't find the help that he needed.

Tears of a Clown makes sense now. They hide it so well. He will be missed.

When my son sage was going through his surgery Robin Williams was at the same hospital. This was during sages post op recovery. I am not sure why he was there but he was. Since Cleveland Clinic is a top hospital in the nation its no wonder he was there.


After dealing with suicide issues amongst my troops i can attest its not because of the lack of help available. Help is there the problem usually is that people close to the victim don't see the signs or fail to realize the situation. Victims will give early warning signs that there is a problem.

In the 2 cases i had to deal with the signs were verbal and direct. At that point we had to ask the hard questions and seek help for those soldiers. In my case both soldiers sought the help after being escorted to treatment.

He is in the upcoming Night At the Museum sequel. I have enjoyed all of his work that I've seen and heard.

For sure it's hard to imagine. Very sad.

Saw him once filming for a movie in Fort William. A very talented and troubled man. A comic genius in a league of his on. Without doubt the best improv comedian this planet has known.
