    Robin Williams died this morning at the age of 63, sadly it appears to have been suicide. It's so sad.

    Sometimes making people laugh covers depression and sadness. He was a funny person but must have been hiding it very well. He will be missed by many people. Sympathy goes to his family and friends.

    Very sad news indeed. Grew up watching Mork & Mindy, loved him especially in Mrs. Doubtfire and also so many more of his other movies. He was always guaranteed to be brilliant in talk show interviews as well. RIP

    So sad. Again it goes to show that success and wealth doesn't buy happiness. He was a brilliant actor and will be missed. RIP

    A bunch of years ago, I read where he performed his comedy routine for Queen Elizabeth. He didn't pull any punches and was actually invited back. I loved all of his movies especially Mrs. Doubtfire and RV.

    We're hearing on the news that he had recently been diagnosed with the early signs of Parkinson's Disease and apparently depression can be an early indicator. How very sad for his family.

    Yes, his wife announced that yesterday. And from what I understand that depression isn't easily treated.

    Did you hear that his daughter had to close her twitter and facebook accounts because of the hateful messages some people were posting there? The scum of the earth will always surface to make life even harder for some people because it makes them feel in charge.
