Variety and a few other sources are saying it was suicide, that he had been battling depression lately.

Lately? He had been battling it for decades.

Rest In Peace, Robin {#emotions_dlg.crying}

RIP dear Robin.

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."

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.

I'm heartbroken {#emotions_dlg.crying}

I want to add... Robin Williams was always there when there was a need to raise money for others. He was kind and generous.

The kind words everyone has to say about him--this says a lot. Poor man; may he rest in peace.

I read that in the past too Noel, we lost a great one today. I cant even think of words right now, I am just shocked. I never realized he was fighting those demons, I feel so bad for him. And his family...
