Suicide according to CBS.

Confirmed, huh? He was severely depressed according to his publicist.


He'd battled depression for decades, this was no new he:: for him.

He'd also been diagnosed as bipolar.

He was always a favorite of my husband and myself. We really loved watching him in movies and in standup. He was so full of energy and could always make me laugh. He will be missed. Thank you for the wonderful entertainment and laughs you gave our family over the years.

So sad that such genius and artistic talent all too often goes hand in hand with mental illness. I'm sure there must be studies on that connection. It's all beyond my understanding, but I think it is so sad. His death is a huge loss.

Many people diagnosed with bipolar fight suicidal feelings. One of my friends knew him, too, and adored him. She's devastated.

He was so close to Billy Crystal, he must be devastated, also close with Whoopi, they often did a lot of charitable events together.

I want everyone to know this about him.

Robin Williams was a local boy, local family.

He was a man about town, we'd see him everywhere, and he always had a smile and a joke for anyone who said hello.

He was out riding his bike several times when I was doing the same. We'd smile and nod. We lived not far from each other.

He used to have a wonderful house in the Sea Cliff area of town, adjacent to the SF Richmond district. He was known for throwing fabulous Halloween parties for kids, any kids who showed up at his doorstep. Fully decorated, out onto the lawn, and lots of goodies. We took our daughter there for trick or treat.

He was always available to raise funds for charity. He was a kind and generous man.

I'm heartbroken {#emotions_dlg.crying}

Thank you for sharing that.

Thanks Noel. He was such a versatile actor. Smart and weirdly witty. He made me laugh and laugh. He was truly one of a kind. I still can't believe it. I don't want to believe it.
