Really?? Robin Williams? Sad day :(

http://variety.com/2014/film/news/robin-williams-found-dead-in-possible-suicide-1201280386/<BR>
Shocking and sad. I think everyone is rather floored. 😢

Shocker 😢

HE IS NOT DEAD!

IT'S A HOAX!

Oh wait..😐

No it's real. He committed suicide.

Damn it, now apparently he is dead. 😐

RIP

This is eery. It was a hoax about him dying at ski. And now apparently he is dead.

Ugh, I take it back. Won't hide the post

I heard about it on the news via TV before I saw it online. Publicist confirmed.

He had such an awesome sense of humor..he's probably laughing in Heaven now.

But damn the hoax and then he DID actually die. Damn 😐

Awful news.

A gut punch.

"Oh CapTenn, my CapTenn."

Dead poets society..loved it.

You have quite the funny username..captain, while saying you're a Cap from Tennessee.

Yeah, the last time I was this moved by a celeb death was George Carlin.

It's so sad that he felt this was the way to go.

One of the comedy greats, not to mention some fine acting in some serious roles.
The world got a little more dull and grey today.

Well considering that stupid hoax happened yesterday, I'd hope that the initial shock of THAT news would have been indicative enough of how others would respond. :/

It's so weird.

First the hoax about his death, now he actually died 😐. What were the odds?

There was this lawsuit in my country..some guy wanted to make a prank for his grandmother and put an obituary in the paper. She read it, had a heart attack and died. He was charged for ..I don't know how to translate in English..negligent murder would be the ad litteram translation.

do you guys remember that movie what dreams may come?

it's about the husband that goes to hell to save his wife......



man such a great movie at the time. i remember i balled when i watched it. it was right after my first love had left me.

the movie inspired me to drive 11 hours to ask her to take me back........ i got rejected.


that was the last time i was beta in a relationship. fuck that noise.

Dude, that's my last status on dxpnet 😐

I had seen the movie again a month ago I think?

I got lost in that movie..not because of the love but the Universe they had created..so awesome.

so so sad. 😢

Dude was quite blunt about his battle with cocaine addiction, so of course I know.
He joked and talked about it during EVERY interview
Lol.

you still dont know. you didnt live in his intimate environment so you dont know what he was dealing with. you just saw and heard what he wanted the world see and hear. I swear. unless you are intimately involved with someone you dont know shit about their life or their struggles. and even then you dont know what the fuck they are thinking. you dont have to handle that they do and maybe it was to much for him to handle. I dont know either.

his work was something to remember, the addiction, drugs and whatever else he was into i know nothing about that and it was not my business to know.

I will always remember him for his work. because that is the part of him that i know for sure. the rest of it is pure assumption and for all we know a facade to mask pain.

When he reaches Heaven....

Not to mention...
He DID abuse drugs and alcohol.
On top of that he chooses to commit suicide (could have been on losing end of battle with drug addiction).
Its very difficult to feel sympathetic for the man himself.
Even though I do feel for his family and friends, but that's just about it.

Why is there always at least one asshole who gets on their soapbox about the nature of a person's death (car accident, drugs, etc) while people are clearly trying to mourn? There is a time and place for it...trying having a little tact.

I just find it funny that people are so quick in feeling sad, and remorseful for a crackhead celebrity, yet they are SO adamant about looking down, laugh and spit upon their NEIGHBORHOOD crackhead...

Why is this?

We all have family members who ABANDON their alcoholic siblings, yet they will sit and cry over some alcoholic TV personnel, they don't even know in real life...

LMAO.

When will we get tired of this Uncle Tom, slave and master mentality?

The neighborhood crackhead never endeared himself/herself to people the same way, I imagine.

It isn't rocket science.

This isn't about the addictions, it's about someone who suffered from depression, which is likely why he did the drugs and alcohol. Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain and something that is difficult to fight against.

Now move along, you ignorant twat waffle. You clearly are inexperienced in life.

Really sad to hear this. Wonderful actor. Loved him in Terry Gilliam's The Fisher's King

It's the Robin Williams international day of mourning. I've actually seen a woman burst into tears upon hearing the news and she didn't even know she was a fan until today. I remember back in the days I never missed any of his Letterman appearances cuz that's when he was at his best. His improvs were funnier than his stand-up material imo.

Cancer with Pisces moon though. That's a lot of Water to keep from tipping over.

Mania has a dark side. I'll remember him, for all his great achievements, and as a human being who brought laughter and joy to so many. His death also serves as a reminder of how SERIOUS and REAL mental illness is, and how we need to start paying more attention to those who suffer in silence.

Try this again...

Yes! Too may suffer in silence or they lash out in ways others don't understand or comprehend!

Really.. WTF..??

R.I.P, loved by everyone.. He was greatest comedian of all time. Truly sad moment. But then came across to WTF moment.
Marin County Sheriff's Lt. Keith Boyd said Williams was last seen alive by his wife Sunday night when she went to bed. She woke up the next morning and left, thinking he was still asleep elsewhere in the home.

What the fucking wrong in here..?? wife.. not knowing where the fuck the man is..??

I remember when I was 8 I was foraging in the Video Ezy bins and found this poster and I had it up on my wall for so long till it was tattered and worn, I remember the movie so vividly was such an emotional masterpiece??_??_.in the movie his wife commits suicide and goes to hell and he dies and goes to heaven and the story is about him rescuing her from hell and its just an amazing love story if you haven't seen it yet you should download it.

The DRUGS WON and kicked another human's ass.

He chose to do drugs.

My heart goes out to his five children.

@Qbone...damn if I wasn't thinking the same thing...obviously the wife slept in a separate room.

As the world struggles to make sense of Robin Williams' death, his wife Susan Schneider revealed in a statement that the beloved actor was suffering from early stages of Parkinson's Disease

AND he was actively sober, she said in the same statement Rocky posted.. Why are people so quick to blame drugs and/or alcohol when a celebrity passes?

He took his own life, which in and of itself is beyond sad, life is precious and should be valued.

Not a single person on this planet ever walked in his shoes or lived his life except him....he fought with his own demons and sadly they won.

I'm not surprised she is attempting this. They were in financial trouble. He just got out of rehab for drugs too and has had a life time of drug issues. I just hope in great respect for Michael J. Fox, the Parkinson's wasn't something she had a doctor write up. That's just wrong! The medical examiner will know and it will ALL be disclosed. I'm sure her lawyer told her about this:

The Truth About Suicide & Life Insurance
Some policies come with a separate exclusion that addresses non-disclosure of mental health and/or drug or alcohol addiction/dependencies. To receive life insurance, many companies require you to take several health tests and submit them, but sometimes, tests are completely optional. Mental illnesses are also taken on a case-by-case basis. If you have a history of serious depression and your life insurance carrier doesn't know, you run the risk of eliminating any benefits if you commit suicide. Leaving out information like this allows insurance companies to deny benefits based on a contestability clause.

If you have a mental illness or addiction, it's not as easy as —checking the non-smoker box.?? Unfortunately, if you disclose your mental illness or addiction, even if you manage it through medications and therapy and/or have been sober for a significant period of time, your eligibility for life insurance may be hurt. At that point, you could try getting life insurance through an employer or trade union, but the benefits are going to be smaller. If you??re diagnosed with a mental illness after you??ve bought your life insurance policy, you will still be covered, and the insurance company is not allowed to raise your rates based on —Guarantee of Insurability.??

http://www.insurancequotes.org/life/the-truth-about-suicide-life-insurance/<BR>

I was sickened by the media last night that I'm not suppose to glorify suicide. The thought police are at it again. UNBELIEVABLE...

When Whitney Houston went the way she did I did not glorify her death/overdose. My heart went out to her family as it does the Williams family.

How dare ANYONE tell me whether media or otherwise, that a life time of drugs or someone who victimizes a family by committing suicide who also happens to be a lifetime drug addict that I'm wrong for feeling the way I do and seeing THE TRUTH of the matter and outcome?

I don't glorify either one, just as I don't join in the glorification of those fucking trees decorated where a drunk/drugged driver hit and died.

Seriously? The thought police can shove their thoughts up their asses or those who are too weak to think for themselves.

The behavior of the media and the sheep who FOLLOW/BELIEVE them are just short of waving a flag, wearing a ribbon that supports death by drugs, alcohol and suicide, and DAMN those who don't join in on the pity. BITE ME.

As soon as I heard about this, it all kinda clicked. Can you imagine struggling with all the bs he already had, fought off the addictions that likely arose from it, was doing well, and life decides to throw another curveball of Parkinsons?

I almost don't blame the guy. Not condoning suicide, but after hearing this, it's hard to be mad or pin blame about any of it, especially knowing what his future held for him with that diagnosis.

I work for one of the largest insurance companies in the U.S.. Insurance companies no longer take your word for what you do or dont have. We pull your pharmacy records going back years. Should you lie or fail to disclose any info you will be denied and possibly prosecuted for insurance fraud.

Oh.

Interesting thing about that-- meds used for treatment of Parkinson's include (sometimes) those also used for depression and pain.

The first (in addicts, recovering or otherwise) can have terrible side effects-- like suicidal ideations, psychosis, etc.

The second-- a recovering addict cannot take pain medicine like a normal person; esp not for extended amounts of time.

Total abstinence is the only way-- and when medically necessary, they have to use extreme caution.

Damned if he did... damned if he didn't.


This puts a whole other spin on things, doesn't it... :/

@Rocky, I Can't even fathom it...like I said, only he walked in his shoes. I have been around family members and close friends with mental illnesses during my life and I still struggle to understand the demons they fight, but I let them know I am there for them.

@Monty, that's part of the crux of it all. Those who are not familiar with recovery don't always understand that line that shouldn't/can't be crossed for those recovering from addictions. Friends in my life think I'm bat shit crazy that I won't take pain killers unless it's beyond bearable and even then I still sometimes won't..but for me it is life or death when it comes to recovery. It can lead to a relapse and going back to everything I fought to get away from.

Again, I think life is precious and everything should be done to live a full and meaningful life...

Seriously. And to the dipshit who's screaming about addiction- my understanding was that he'd been drug free since the early 80s. 30 years and you call him a current addict? The heartless fuckwits who keep hanging on to that tidbit can kindly fuck off. Alcohol was the repeated offense that kept popping up. He checked into rehab for alcohol, not drugs, ti keep himself in check.

But then again, it's been claimed in these lovely comments that he has 5 kids when he has 3. All your lunatic rantings lose any credibility, sorry.

Have some fucking respect instead of turning all of this into some dramallama because you're a heartless cunt. He clearly was suffering, his family is suffering, the whole thing is just sad any way you spin it. The world has lost one of the comedic greats and his family is mourning.

Some of you are no better than some of the tacky ass tabloids. Go get some class or gtfo pls. kthx.

Quotes straight from the horses mouth are below...and dates. His addictions spanned FOR 30 YEARS - half of his adult life. It didn't end 30 years ago. I grew up with this guy & absolutely adored him as an actor & he's my son's idol next to Tom Hanks.. and I happen to be very upset he is DEAD!! I don't know why I said 5 kids, regardless my point was MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIS KIDS AND FAMILY who had to stand by and watch this happen, not to mention the MANNER in which he took his own life. HORRIBLE!!!!! I don't honor shit like that, I don't care WHO it is, least of all if you or anyone approves my thoughts on it. I can't even fathom being in their shoes after this.

1980s

Williams battled alcoholism and cocaine abuse in the early 1980s, at the height of his first taste of celebrity. He was close friends with John Belushi, and in fact he had been partying with the legendary —Saturday Night Live?? comedian at L.A.??s Chateau Marmont hotel not long before Belushi overdosed on a lethal combination of heroin and cocaine in 1982. Belushi??s death was a wakeup call for Williams, who quit cold turkey shortly after the incident and remained sober for two decades.
