Tragic. May he RIP.

(16,713 posts)I wish he had received the help he so obviously needed. I can barely compose a message, so I will just say peace and comfort to his loved ones. Thanks for the laughs, Mr. Williams.

(20,605 posts)Met him once on a film and he was super nice.
But seemed to have been battling demons all his life.

(267,823 posts)Dead at 63. ABC Special Report says he's been batting severe depression of late according to his agent. Sadly it's looking like suicide.
Damn he made us laugh!

whathehell
(28,969 posts)Not to be trite about it, but I was just last night able to endure seeing him
in his last movie, A Most Wanted Man.
I don't think PSH committed suicide -- a drug overdose. Still, as a
more or less average person who endured severe depression and
recovered after a LOT of work on my part, it's hard not to feel a
bit angry at people who "have everything", including the resources
to fight their demons, who throw it all away.
I do feel sorry for his family. RIP, Robin.

(37,573 posts)Apparently he still had some trouble finding happy thoughts.
He was a guy I would have thought had it all.
