This is when I ask why does this happen? Someone you think is on top of the world.
According to one of his press representatives, Williams had been dealing with severe depression lately.

I can't say I was a big fan, especially in recent years, but I liked him well enough. I did see him perform live a few times, mostly in the Comic Relief fundraisers that were broadcast on HBO, and always thought his stand-up routines were entertaining. Shocking news, considering his age.

I had the immense privilege of seeing Robin Williams live a couple of years back at the Entertianment Centre in Sydney. He was, as I knew he would be, brilliant. He was a true genius and prodigiously gifted. I'm really sad to hear about this.

I was hoping that it would be another one of those internet hoaxes. Mr. Williams was an excellent comedian and he always had a smile on his face. Just goes to show you that despite all the smiles and laughs you never know what burdens people may be carrying.

This just *****. RIP Mr. Williams.

Sad news. I preferred his dramatic roles to the funny stuff. My respect for Williams grew when I read he was a dog rescuer/pug owner.
