I really hope this isn't true. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/robin-williams-dies-suspected-suicide-724724

I hope it isn't true. I haven't found it reported any where else as of yet.

 

[Skiddles2014]

Nanoo nanoo.

 

[Lorilei]

I'm seeing reports that police have confirmed it.

Fuck. Dude made growing up watching television fun.

Yes, he did. Fuckity fuck fuck.

Several other sites are saying the same thing.. Looks like the world has lost a great comic genius.

 

[anchoredinocean]

Apparently suicide.

Sad as all hell. I know his alcoholism had been haunting him again a few years back.

All suicides are sad. This one is coupled with a great loss of talent. Horrible.

 

[lovetoread]

Aw dude.

Talk about a boner killer.

I like to think that Robin would want you to be hard. RIP. He will be missed, but he will always be a part of a lot of us.

It's on the BBC too.

He was in rehab a few weeks ago.

MSN just posted a breaking news banner. It appears to be true. He brought a lot of laughter to the world. RIP.

 

[respeito]

i'm watching the fox news coverage right now. the world just got a little less funny.

I knew there would be a thread on this here. Funny how I thought of Lit as the first place to go to say anything about this.

I loved Robin Williams' talent. Mork and Mindy was a favorite show back in my college days.

RIP, Robin. The world has lost a genius. It really is sad that someone with so much talent also was depressed enough to kill himself. All his money couldn't help him get healthy, I guess, even with access to all the best treatment.

1986: Jonathon Winters and Robin Williams on 60 Minutes

And on Carson.

Talk about a boner killer.

I like to think that Robin would want you to be hard. RIP. He will be missed, but he will always be a part of a lot of us.

You're pathetic.

 

[MonaLittle]

awww, I had not heard. I just walked in and turned on a tv.

Ohh, sad.

Seize the day. Because, believe it or not, each and every one of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold and die.

The really, really, really good ones are all slightly unhinged.

Jonathan Winters fought depression his whole life. Anybody as quick and smart as Williams or Winters is almost guarantied to be manic.

It's a fine line between genius and madness.
