Very Very Sad,  I love his wit and humor, he brought so much happiness to so many people.  He will be dearly missed.
 
"Tears of a clown"

Your gone, but never forgotten. Thanks for all the memories.

May God bless your soul.

weird how depression and humor share the same space on a venn diagram
 
Damn shame! I've always been a big Robin Williams fan. I've even liked some of his movies that most people regarded as bombs..... What Dreams May Come, The Fisher King and Bicentennial Man to name a few.

One other comedian whom I enjoyed that also committed suicide was Richard Jeni. He wasn't a huge name but his comedy specials were very funny!
 
Could you please show me one (any one) that your referring to?


Some famous comedians have killed themselves due to depression.
a lot, perhaps most, comedians are dark and depressed. its part of the territory i guess. i heard something a while back that explains the situation perfectly. The reason depressed people make good comedians is because they know what its like to feel sadness, and they dont wish that upon anybody so they do what they can to make others laugh and feel happy

Depression is not just "feeling sadness". 

Depression is a serious illness caused by chemical imbalance in your brain. You don't get better without treatment.

DaMummy didn't imply otherwise.   He wasn't trying to define depression he was explaining why depressed people make good comedians.

Dammit, another great actor I won't see in old man's roles. ><!
This is really a big shame.

This business is eating up so many talents and again and again shows us, that money doesn't make you happy.

He was so excellent in "The Fisher King".
 
and how cool is it to name your daugther after princess Zelda?
Zelda Williams said:
„I’m a videogame junkie. What’d you expect from a kid named after one?“
He wasn't ashamed of this even when gaming was still seen as very uncool 25 years ago

and was well ahead of the curve in that respect.

The general practice of naming kids after video game characters is a relatively recent trend.


She participated in ads for OoT on 3DS btw:
