Robin Williams Dead: Beloved Actor Dies In Apparent Suicide

Beloved actor Robin Williams was found dead on Monday, police reported.

He was 63.

The apparent cause of death was suicide by asphyxiation, authorities said. According to his publicist, Williams had been battling severe depression and spent time in rehab as recently as July.

Police said that Williams was found unconscious around noon in his home in Tiburon, California, near San Francisco.

Williams was best known for his starring roles in classic comedies like "Mrs. Doubtfire," "Good Morning, Vietnam" and "Jumanji," but also in acclaimed dramas such as "Dead Poets Society." He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Dr. Sean Maguire in "Good Will Hunting." He rose to fame while playing Mork the alien in the TV show "Mork & Mindy," a "Happy Days" spinoff.

This came to me a big shock, when I read it in morning. I am still trying to understand how can it be a suicide, if it was caused by a disease.

Robin Williams was among finest actors. Bicentennial Man from the man is a masterpiece in my eyes. I am very sad by this unexpected death.

I find it ironic that one of the most comic actors out there commits suicide due to depression.

Kind of reminds me of that Pagliacci the clown joke that Rorschach says in Watchmen.

“Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci.”

I really feel sad for him.
I watched his first movie in HBO (Patch adams i guess), when i was a kid and was impressed with his acting and comedy.

He's truely a marvel amidst other comedians.
RIP his soul.

Really sad indeed. Saw him in two movies only, Good Will Hunting and some other. At least by the looks of him he seemed liked a very controlled person, who lives a rather mannered life, guess I was wrong. However no one knows in what situation he was in which led him to commit suicide, well time will tell, that won't matter though.

R.I.P., Mr. Robin Williams

A great humorous toned actor.

Apart from Bicentennial Man, his other works such as JUMANJI and Mrs.Doubtfire were also masterpieces...
