Comedy genius, wonderful actor and a charitable soul who always gave to others before he gave to himself.. dead at 63, apparent suicide at his home in California.
I am truly devastated and on the verge of tears typing this. What a loss...

Loss for words, thought it was a hoax the first time I heard about it.
Great actor and a better person, RIP.

Someone posted a picture of his dead body on Twitter.
I am appalled and disgusted beyond words. That is disrespectful and wrong on so many levels, especially to his family and those close to him.

What the heck? Is that true? That's sick. Some people just have no respect. The papers here have been downgrading him apparently talking about his final hours and depression and stuff, so I heard.

It's just heartbreaking to see people doing this to Robin. Instead of focusing on his last hours, people need to look back on his life and realize what the man did for the world. He made it laugh, his serious acting could make it cry or feel and he was a very charitable man who gave back to children's programs and also worked with americans who are serving and protecting the country.
As a man who had his demons with drugs and alcohol, I do know how Robin felt through all that. It isn't easy kicking those things and you never do quite forget it. I know that he relapsed into those demons and wound up falling into the dark. That is the most difficult fight in the world, being depressed.. I still fight it sometimes.
It is time the world lets this man rest in peace and just remembers him for all the good times instead of the bad times.

The media will do anything just to get a story. Like the whole phone hacking scandal here for example.

Heard he was in early stages of Parkinson's disease. The poor man, that is NEVER easy for anybody to deal with.

I don't watch the news for this reason. No need for the drama and lies.

Robin Williams spent so much time making people happy, making them laugh and giving children and others the shirt off his back that he didn't have time or room to make himself happy.
It's really sad when it happens. You have to have time to make yourself happy too.

Very touching. Watch Dave get upset towards the end of the video.

38 years those guys were buds. Wow, you can see it in David's eyes that he is hurting.

A lot of people felt it, Robin Williams connected with everybody even if he never met them. He connected through hearts from what he did in his life.

So apparently, Robin's ashes were scattered over San Francisco Bay near to where he lived and his funeral was held the day after he died.

That's a relief, at least. Know that whole thing with Casey Casem is still going on.. two sides of a family fighting over a dead man's body and what is done to it, that's just sad.

It's silly indeed and depressing. The dead are more ashamed in this situation than the living should be.
