Robin Williams

Robin was a comedy genius, but the movie Dead Poets Society was what really inspired me and changed my life path.
And suicide is a sad way to go. Maybe the saddest.
RIP

It always turns out to be the funniest ones whom are the most sad on the inside.

Just to follow up. Robin Williams was diagnosed with Parkinson's and now believed to have suffered Lewy Body Dementia (LBD).

"Some people with LBD are extremely sensitive or may react negatively to certain medications used to treat Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s in addition to certain over-the-counter medications."
Parkinson's dementia and LBD together go under the term LBD.

It can cause visual hallucinations.

Robin Williams had complained to his spouse about the medication he was taking.

If you have never seen someone suffering dementia, they are intermittently losing touch with things they love and care about; at that stage you are dying, which can be both beautiful and unsettling.

If I had to guess this is Monotheist wrangling with the idea of suicide, which is a mortal sin subjecting the disembodied eternal soul to nigh-unending suffering in the underworld at the hands of Satan et al.

Personally, I think it was well thought out personal message to Bobcat Goldthwait for making him star in that stupid movie.

That's very sad he was diagnosed with Parkinson's. So tragic.

That's very sad he was diagnosed with Parkinson's. So tragic.

He was called a coward shortly after his suicide by Fox Entertainment News' Shep Smith, and before it was made public that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. I find that to be even more saddening, among other things.

how can anyone commit suicide when they have so much money. If i was that rich i'd call ten beautiful escorts and order 30 grams of coke everytime i felt depressed. So many ways to get through it when u got that kind of money.

wow. bullshit. you really believe rich people are automatically happy? that would be a pretty shallow and worthless existence if you ask me. and just because youre a celebrity doesnt mean you dont have financial issues.
