    RIP a real loss of a genuine lovely man.

    He helped pay for Christopher Reeve's medical bills once his insurance ran out.

    Am so sad to hear this, completely shocked!

    R.I.P. Robin.

    You will continue to make us laugh in our lives even though it appears your own was too sad for you to continue.

    Thoughts and best wishes to your friends and family.

    Wow.

    Of all the "stars" of stage and screen, Robin Williams isn't the first name you would think of as a suicide....

    RIP

    I read that as Robbie Williams so just had to do a quick panic google.

    From Inside Movies
    Oscar winner and comedian Robin Williams died this morning at 63. While his publicist wouldn’t confirm that it was a suicide, they did issue this statement. “Robin Williams passed away this morning. He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”
    Williams, who won an Oscar for his supporting role in Good Will Hunting, will reprise his role as Theodore Roosevelt in the third installment of Night at the Museum this December. He had recently signed on to reprise his beloved role as Mrs. Doubtfire in a sequel to be directed by Chris Columbus and was last seen opposite Annette Bening in the indie film The Face of Love.
    Story developing…


    Very sad news
