Actor/Comedian Robin Williams Found Dead In Apparent Suicide

Robin Williams dies at 63 of apparent suicide

Oscar-winning actor and comic Robin Williams died Monday at 63 of an apparent suicide, the Marin County Sheriff's Department confirmed.

Around 11:55 a.m. Monday, sheriff's officials said, a 911 call came in about a man unresponsive in his home in Tiburon. He was pronounced dead at the scene.


Dubbed “the funniest man alive” by Entertainment Weekly in 1997, Williams brought audiences hours of laughter, putting his imaginative spin on characters in film and television. He was lauded for his serious roles as well, winning a best supporting actor Oscar for his performance as Sean Maguire, the therapist who counsels Matt Damon’s math genius in “Good Will Hunting”(1997), and receiving nominations for “The Fisher King” (1991), “Dead Poets Society” (1989) and “Good Morning, Vietnam” (1987).

Born in Chicago in 1951, Williams became one of only two students accepted into John Houseman’s prestigious acting program at Julliard, the other being Christopher Reeve, who became a lifelong friend.

Williams gained fame as Mork, the bizarre, suspenders-sporting alien on the sitcom “Mork & Mindy,” a spinoff from “Happy Days.” Williams departed from the script so often that producers intentionally left blank moments on page for Williams to have space to indulge his ad-libbing genius.

I want to see just how much social media embraces the dead as opposed to the living. I wonder how much his likes will grow in the next week?

[SexSymbol]

One of the greatest comedians to ever do stand up, his movies were great, jumanji was my dream movie as a kid.
God damn, this is a tragedy

[DonDadda59]

Last year I worked on a film with him. He was CONSTANTLY cracking jokes and putting on a show for everyone whenever the cameras weren't rolling. Dude was just a ball of high energy. Didn't show any signs of depression or anything. Seemed to be in high spirits. But I think he may have been bipolar so you never know when the crash will come or how bad it will be.

He didn't seem like the type to commit suicide

He's battled depression and alcoholism over the years, he just hide it extremely well on screen.

Bangarang for life!

[TheGreatBlaze]

Wow this is really sad. I grew watching a ton of his movies and he was one of my all-time favorite actors. RIP.

[DonDadda59]

He was bipolar. If anything, he was the textbook type unfortunately. Guess he wasn't on his meds/getting treatment and it just spiraled out of control.

[russwest0]

His facebook page has already gotten 12,000 likes in the past minute or two....

Do people have no shame?

They love to embrace the dead so much but don't seem to give a shit about these celebrities actual well being whenever they are still alive and around....

I think he was bipolar. That is also the type of behavior some people use to mask their depression.

He had a well publicized addiction to cocaine for a while and the news reports were saying he was struggling with substances again.

[Crystallas]

OMG, My all-time favorite actor.

WOW. SADFACE!!!!!!!!! RIP Mork!

I do recognize his face after googling him. Not sure where from tho

[97 bulls]

How did he die? Drugs overdoes? Gunshot?

Wait, when did you come back?

[russwest0]

Yeah, it's just awful that people are liking his page as a way of paying their respects.

No, whats awful is how much of an emphasis our culture places on dead celebrities.

He was one of my favorite actors of all time, but now that he's dead you go and like his page and become a fan of his...?

:facepalm What good does that do? He's dead now...

Take Amy Winehouse for example. She had not even one million facebook likes before her death. And then she dies and suddenly she blows up.... Now has well over 5 million likes on facebook...

Robin Williams was already a huge actor, so I'm not going to sit here and say that he didn't get enough recognition in his day... I'm merely just saying that we as a society need to stop placing such an emphasis on dead people.

[ballup]

[DeuceWallaces]

[shaq2000]

How did he die? Drugs overdoes? Gunshot?

Asphyxiation. Hanging, apparently.

[L.Kizzle]

I heard or read somewhere that a lot of comedians are actually depressed and reclusive. Just happens that making others laugh is their job.
Keenen Ivory Wayans "Comedy is the mask for pain."

[outbreak]

I've never understood what people found funny about him, he seemed to be laughing so much at his own impersonations and craziness but I didn't get what was funny about it.

I've read that he was a really nice guy in real life though, on another site I post on some people there had met him before and talked about how cool he was with fans. Sad when this happens to anyone.

[russwest0]

Wow, here's an article from a while back with him talking about ecstacy use being the cause of his depression...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-190688/Robbie-talks-depression.html

Being someone who has taken quite a bit of ecstacy before I can definitely relate to what he is saying...

I took 4 hits of ecstacy one night and felt absolutely DOWN about life for like the whole week following... Every thing, task, goal, whatever, just seemed like such a struggle and so unbearable and not worth the time. I really just wanted to lay in bed all day until I felt better.

Damn. That sucks.

[Denitron]

So sad :(

R.I.P

[JimmyMcAdocious]

There were a lot of crazy sex rumors about him for years. Random, but anyway...

RIP. Only movies I liked him in were Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets and Aladdin.

[9erempiree]

Ecstasy is evil.

I know a guy that probably has done over 50 hits of ecstasy and his personality literally has changed over the years. His demeanor as well.

Till this day we talk about him as pre-ecstasy day or post-ecstasy day when we refer to the good times we had.

[Smook A.]

Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rake2204]

Man, very unfortunate news. I watched him once again in Dead Poets Society just last evening. Even when learning of his battles with drugs, depression, and bipolarity, it's tough for me to link the name Robin Williams with suicide. It just does not feel right.

I always thought Williams was at the top of his craft when he was able to successfully straddle the line between comedy and drama, as he did in Good Morning Vietnam, Good Will Hunting and the aforementioned Dead Poets Society. I also felt a superficial connection due to his coming up through metro Detroit as a wrestler at the same time as my father and his brothers (before Williams eventually moved to California). I kind of felt like he was one of ours.

[King Jane]

the killer was found, he's dead :(

I believe he was highly addicted to coke as well, if I'm not correct.

That shit affects your brain in so many ways. I have felt literally incapable of feeling any happy thoughts on the day(s) after I took some ecstasy.

I'd lay down and try to feel anything and if I did it was just me deceiving myself. It's hard to explain, really. Emptiness is probably the best way to describe it. When you're on it it basically manufactures the feeling of love. And when you're off it you feel depleted of that feeling :(

Very sad news, he brought so much joy and laughter to me as a child and as an adult. This goes to show money and fame doesn't necessarily buy you happiness, so many actors and other celebrities get into drugs and fall to depression. :(

R.I.P. Mr. Williams...

In my experience this actually is sometimes a sign of depression. Sometimes people will do this bc theyre literally going crazy, or they have like an innate desperation for approval that can never be satisfied, usually with one being the cause of the other.

Very tragic, but given his overall history I'm not even the least bit surprised about this news.

Most people who are actually suicidal don't show outward signs and try to cover it up, it's usually the people who want help and are unsure who show some signs.

your point? People like to show respect and think about a persons career after they've passed away.

[ZeN]

He was bipolar. If anything, he was the textbook type unfortunately. Guess he wasn't on his meds/getting treatment and it just spiraled out of control.
Bipos go through cycles where they alternate between hypo-mania and dysphoric mania. If he was really high not too long ago and seemed comedic erratic, then we just saw the major crash (downward swing) that was his dysphoric swing. Thats what makes it difficult to know that someone will likely kill themselves... they literally feel the opposite before the mood change. If the person suffers from extreme highs then the depressive low will be extreme as well.

So why can't these people show more respect for him while he's alive?

Just face it, people are more likely to support a celebrity once that celebrity is dead.

Pretty shocking.. wow

I know your just trolling for attention (plus you are a ****ing moron) as usual but I'll play along anyway. People do it because the person is being talked about a lot and because they are remembering their careers and realising how much they appreciated what he did. It's not a case of someone going "oh i never liked him but now he's dead I really like him" which is what you seem to be implying.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Rest in Peace. Sadly not as shocking as it should be, he's always seemed to have a deep sadness to him.

Didn't his brother die young?

I know I've had his wine, Toad Hollow, and read it was dedicated to his brother.

I ain't shitting on the people who are paying their respects brother, I'm shitting on the idea that when someone is alive and depressed, like Robin Williams was and as was reported, no one cares. But the instant that celebrity dies, they blow up in regards to social media and things like that...

I'm just saying if the man is talking publicly about depression as he has been for years, then why is that not a valid reason to support him and like his page and do all of that?

We dehumanize celebrities in this society but the instant one dies from something like this we rush to social media voicing our support... it makes no sense...

Not Robin Williams man. One of the most underrated actors of all time. He didn't do enough in recent years. I think I always knew he'd go like this because so many comedians battle deep depression. I've battled it before and I feel horrible that he had to suffer that mental pain.

You have to be so down to do this. I wish he would have got help. Bright side of it all is he doesn't have to suffer anymore.

Anytime a big name actor passes for whatever reason it's a big media story, why all the hating on the guy's name after he's passed? You're posting like Robin Williams did this on purpose to get attention or something. Stop shitting on the man's name so you can prove a silly point. Posters have no class. Absolutely none.

His Facebook & Twitter pages no longer exist anymore. I just checked :/

Sad day. They often say that some of the best comedy comes from tortured souls. Seems to potentially be true in this case.

[~primetime~]

Not gonna lie I didn't think RW was funny AT ALL. One Hour Photo was about the only thing he ever did that I liked and that wasn't a comedy.

Still sad though:( RIP

[ballinhun8]

For me. I know I am getting older because the people I loved to see on TV are older than I thought and some are dying.



Robin Williams was one of those guys.


Aladdin, jumanji, Mrs. Doubtfire, Jack, Patch Adams, I remember seeing this guy so much. I grew up with him as a huge celebrity. This is sad and reality steps in big time on this one.




R.I.P. to one of my legends.

I feel bad for his family too... his daughter Zelda, especially.

Agreed. He was one of those super rare actors who could make ANYONE laugh at any given time, any moment, anywhere. His approach and outlook on life was a lot like how I live - which is not taking things seriously and doing nothing but having fun and making others laugh and feel good around you. You become addicted to it and the people that magnetize to you... but it can eventually catch up to you start to stress you out etc the mind begins to play tricks on you and it gets the best of you ... takes you out. Or sadly, in this case, he took his.

Yep, Zelda is pretty good looking too. The two of them did a few commercials for Nintendo few years ago. Big Evangelion fan too, he even made a nod to it in One Hour Photo.

I get really irritated by the people who say Robin Williams was being selfish or other cliches like "suicide is a choice". Yes, technically suicide is a choice. However, when depression is involved calling it a "choice" is an oversimplification. It's a shallow comment and one that can only be said by someone that has very little insight into how depression works.

If we're going to be technical then the people that jumped from the Word Trade Centers were committing suicide and being selfish. That situation is in no way different from someone that is deeply depressed. Those flames are equivalent to the mental anguish a person can feel when they are in a deep depressive episode. Depressed people that kill themselves don't want to die, they want to end the suffering. Saying they are weak is like saying those jumpers were weak because they couldn't take the heat from those scorching flames. It's easy to say that when it isn't you that is the one suffering.

well said. mental illness is still such a taboo subject in this country and yes, depression falls into that category. anyone saying he's selfish or a 'pvssy' have no clue. it's attitudes like this why people don't seek help at a younger age. it's such a neanderthal way of looking at things.

i've known people that led totally normal lives and always seemed happy in public but found out they were depressed later. it wasn't emo, shallow stuff either, although sometimes it's hard to understand how one can be so hopeless. our brains operate in different ways and doesn't always make it easy to understand.

robin did seek help but i also think his past addictions prolonged his status for a bit. add to the fact he was bipolar and well....anybody that has followed his standup as seen some inconsistency. there's nights, he's absolutely on fire, going 100 mph seamlessly and there's other nights where he's more subdued, irritated and almost lost.

jumanji will always remain a fun movie for me. good will hunting is a classic but i really think my fav movie of his was fisher king. toys was so underrated as well. then you have dead poets society and good morning, vietnam.

he had this uncanny ability to make you laugh one second, think the next and damn near cry a second later. he had this ability to say so much with a simple gesture or tone of his voice. there was just such a genuine presence to him on screen. he didn't seem to be a social recluse. he just never learned to love himself like the world did :cry:

Mindy Kaling says she was named Mindy because her parents loved Mork and Mindy. Judd Apatow say he got an internship at Comic Relief just to be near him.

The guy was just an immense talent.

I didn't always agree with his taste in movies which tended towards mawkish and sentimental and a little of him went a long way, but there may have been nobody with a quicker mind in comedy ever. My fond memories of him are when he burst on the scene, Mork and Mindy and his early standup. My girlfriend in college's favorite movie was Popeye and she used to watch it all the time.

And everyone says he was just a lovely guy.

:wtf: That's an awful analogy...

[ZeN]

:wtf: That's an awful analogy...
It's an illogical way to feel.. but that's how bipolars feel. Like if they are escaping a severe type of suffering. As if killing themselves will stop the torture, even if suicide is a negative they see it as their only choice.

Its unreasonable and illogical for them to equate their feelings to that type of suffering but it's how they feel. The chemical imbalances create a mental distortion that creates a negatively heightened reality. It's about the mental obsession as opposed to facts and reality.

So while it's absolutely an exaggeration, the comparison is real because bipolar deal in exaggerations.

[Lebron23]

He seemed like a very nice guy. Watching Hook again. And Both Peter Pan and Smee passed away this year. :cry: :cry: :cry:

While I don't necessarily disagree, Cmon man, you can't compare the two. They were physically trapped. It was between a slow, burning death or a horrible jump to your death. They were going to die, either way. Depression is mental, but it won't phsycially kill you. Ending the suffering, is wanting to die. Because if living means to suffer, then you are choosing to die, by ending the suffering.

[iamgine]

Never liked him, never thought he was funny. More annoying.

But he's a part of history. Will be waiting for the day the likes of Roseanne and Rosie O'Donnell joins him.

RIP Robin Williams.

I wonder why he chose to hang himself, that is literally one of the worst ways to off yourself. Imagine the very dark place he was in his mind to go out like that. Sleeping pills are the best way out the door IMO.

Cracked just put out a really interesting article on this.

Why Funny People Kill Themselves (http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/robin-williams-why-funny-people-kill-themselves/)


You ever have that funny friend, the class-clown type, who one day just stopped being funny around you? Did it make you think they were depressed? Because it's far more likely that, in reality, that was the first time they were comfortable enough around you to drop the act.

The ones who kill themselves, well, they're funny right up to the end.

By now you know that Robin Williams has committed suicide, but I'm not here to talk about him. He's gone, and you're still here, and suicidal thoughts are so common among our readers and writers that our message board has a hidden section where moderators can coordinate responses to suicide threats. And in case you're wondering, no, that's not a joke -- I remember the first time John tracked down a guy's location and got an ambulance dispatched to his house. Then we all sat there, at 4 in the morning, waiting to hear if they got there in time (they did).

Because Cracked is driven by an army of aspiring comedy writer freelancers, the message boards are full of a certain personality type. And while I don't know what percentage of funny people suffer from depression, from a rough survey of the ones I know and work with, I'd say it's approximately "all of them." So when I hear some naive soul say, "Wow, how could a wacky guy like [insert famous dead comedian here] just [insert method of early self-destruction here]? He was always joking around and having a great time!" my only response is a blank stare.

That's honestly the equivalent of "How can that cow be dead? She had to be healthy, because these hamburgers we made from her are delicious!"

[~primetime~]

from Kev's link, this is "WHY FUNNY PEOPLE KILL THEMSELVES":


Here's how it works for most of us, as far as I can tell. I'll even put it in list form, because who gives a **** at this point:

1. At an early age, you start hating yourself. Often it's because you were abused, or just grew up in a broken home, or were rejected socially, or maybe you were just weird or fat or ... whatever. You're not like the other kids, the other kids don't seem to like you, and you can usually detect that by age 5 or so.

2. At some point, usually at a very young age, you did something that got a laugh from the room. You made a joke or fell down or farted, and you realized for the first time that you could get a positive reaction that way. Not genuine love or affection, mind you, just a reaction -- one that is a step up from hatred and a thousand steps up from invisibility. One you could control.

3. You soon learned that being funny builds a perfect, impenetrable wall around you -- a buffer that keeps anyone from getting too close and realizing how much you suck. The more you hate yourself, the stronger you need to make the barrier and the further you have to push people away. In other words, the better you have to be at comedy.

4. In your formative years, you wind up creating a second, false you -- a clown that can go out and represent you, outside the barrier. The clown is always joking, always "on," always drawing all of the attention in order to prevent anyone from poking away at the barrier and finding the real person behind it. The clown is the life of the party, the classroom joker, the guy up on stage -- as different from the "real" you as possible. Again, the goal is to create distance.

You do it because if people hate the clown, who cares? That's not the real you. So you're protected.

But the side effect is that if people love the clown ... well, you know the truth. You know how different it'd be if they met the real you.


That's really interesting, it is like comedians suffer from multiple personality disorder or something...they have a false "funny" version of themselves that they think everyone loves, and then they have the "real" them that they hide from everyone, that they hate.

It was my first stand-up appearance on Letterman and I had to follow the funniest man in the world. #RIPRobinWilliams
1:07 AM - 12 Aug 2014

I was a punk kid from rural Ontario and I was in my dressing room, terrified.

I was on the phone to a friend back home when the funniest man in the world ambled by.

There was no one else on the floor. In shock, I told my friend who just walked by. Only the funniest man in the world.

I guess he heard me say his name, cause in an instant he was at my side.
He was a jewish tailor, taking my measurements. He went down on his knees, asked which way I dressed.

I told my friend on the phone that the funniest man in the world was on his knees before me, measuring my inseam.

My friend didn't believe me so I said, "Could you talk to my friend, sir.

The funniest man in the world took the phone and for ten minutes took my friend's chinese food order.

I laughed and laughed and it was like I was in a dream because no one else was there. No one.

The place was out of Moo Shoo Pork, and there was nothing he could do about it.

He angrily hung up on my friend and I was about to thank him when he said I hadn't even tried the jacket on.

Then the funniest man on earth dressed me, a complete stranger, and i remember he ended with a windsor knot.

He spoke mostly yiddish, but when he finished he was happy with his job and turned me to a mirror to present myself to me.

No one witnessed any of this. No one.

The funniest man alive was in my dressing room a good half-hour and was far funnier than the set I had to do soon.

When he left my dressing room, I felt alone. As alone as I ever remember feeling.

Until today. #RIPRobinWilliams

A little less than a week ago, I was on a plane staring aimlessly at an endless slew of movies - a formidable offering of blockbusters, classics, cult favorites, and most importantly, legendary violence.

However, I ended up selecting an obscure new film called The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, about a rage-infested man with ninety minutes left to live. As expected, it was a ninety minutes I’ll never get back.

But hey, It had Robin Williams in it.

…

I sat through this cruel joke of a film because I owe you, Mr. Williams. I owe you for waking me up to a sunny Vietnam and for my deep-seated desire for a fat, English nanny. I owe you, Mr. Williams, for making me want to fly and for never growing old.

But most of all, good sir, I owe you for Mr. Keating.

As a man that’s always felt strangely at home with fictional characters as opposed to boring, listless adults, you gave me the teacher I never had, yet the one that was always there.

I thank you, Mr. Williams, for making him real.

I thank you for leading me towards the path of the extraordinary, a glorious routine of arising everyday with the sound of a barbaric YAWP that audaciously personifies the rousing fire in my belly.

Providentially, three days ago was the day I had my own students watch Dead Poets for the first time. I’ve always held the stern belief that every human must go through three crucial, life-affirming moments - their first step, their first kiss, and their first class with Mr. Keating.

After the film, I jokingly told my class that my first viewing of Dead Poets provided me with two immediate goals, the first was to teach and the second was to get fired as a teacher.

I thank you, Mr. Williams, for giving me that purpose.

I thank you for giving me a subtle glimpse into the drone-producing freak show that is our educational system, one that seeks to perpetuate a population of more boring, listless adults. An institution that I will go to war with until it replaces measurement with improvement, until it replaces “How intelligent are you” with “How ARE YOU intelligent”, and most of all, until it is built on the ridiculously simple notion that “what a man can be, he must be”.

…

Rest in peace, O Captain.

I think that is a huge bs. To be that funny, one has to be intelligent and creative. When an intelligent and creative person start being serious, they are still interesting and doesn't suck.

Regardless of whether most comedians have depression or hate themselves, the thought of them inventing their "second self" is idiotic. It's totally unrelated. People enjoy making others laugh not because so that they can hide themselves, but the reward that goes with it so they like to do it. The same reward that you get when you help someone fix their computer and they say thank you. The same reward that you get after making that windmill dunk and the crowd cheer. You are good at something and people appreciate it.

Comedians aren't like common people though, making people laugh is their entire life. Also evidence points to it being true, in that article they asked a comedy club owner how many of the comedians suffered from depression and he said "all of them"

Robin Williams and the link between comedy and depression


"It doesn't take a genius to work out that comedians are a little bit nuts." Those were the words of comedian Susan Murray earlier this year, responding to an academic study that suggested comedians had unusual psychological traits linked with psychosis.

It takes a certain type of person to stand up and make a fool of themselves in public. But there is a difference between being a bit zany and suffering mental health problems.

However, the image of comedians as tortured souls who tell jokes in an attempt to dispel their inner demons has become common over the years.

Kenneth Williams once said: "I certainly wouldn't call myself a happy human being. All the comedians I've known have been deeply depressive people, manic depressive... They kept it at bay with this facade."

Last year I worked on a film with him. He was CONSTANTLY cracking jokes and putting on a show for everyone whenever the cameras weren't rolling. Dude was just a ball of high energy. Didn't show any signs of depression or anything. Seemed to be in high spirits. But I think he may have been bipolar so you never know when the crash will come or how bad it will be.

Yeah that is the sad part. He spent literally his entire life entertaining people by making them laugh, smile, feel good. And behind closed doors, when the curtains closed there was another side of him that was sad, unhappy.

He was a unique comedian man. The way he shifted between characters was crazy. I always asked when is he ever serious? Rarely saw him not make fun, light of an interview. He nailed it in good will hunting one of my favorite movies along with Good Morning Vietnam.

Pretty cool you got to cross paths with him.
