    I saw this when I woke up. Nothing about cause of death. So very sad. Such a fun person to watch.

    Suicide. Self-inflicted gunshot wound.

    Sometimes the happiest looking people are the saddest inside.

    I heard many suicides are spur of the moment, like a panic attack.

    Sounds like this was planned out. He went and checked into a hotel not far from his house with a small bag. Staff said he seemed fine. Didn't appear to be in distress.

    Ellen's show would lead into our 5pm news down here so it was always on in the newsroom and he seemed like a cool guy (even if Ellen sucked) plus my wife would follow him and the family on tik tok and recreate his dances. Sad times, especially committing suicide and leaving his family, friends and fans with so many more questions than answers.

    Wife and 2 kids. That’s who people should be feeling for. They now have to live with this the rest of THEIR lives.

    People who commit suicide aren’t thinking straight. Which is why they kill themselves.

    I have never felt sorry for somebody who killed them selves...only those left behind. They are the true victims here. This will be my last post on this subject but I will say I have first hand experience with this and nobody here will ever change my mind. The ones who have to wake up EVERY SINGLE MORNING reliving this....THEY are the ones who need thoughts and prayers. This is coward ass shit!

    Agree 100%.

    Though, I'll say at least he was considerate enough not to do it at home. Where his family would have to clean up his mess.

    Of course it’s awful for them. Of course it’s selfish. But someone who is on the verge of suicide is in such deep, awful, pain and confusion they are unable to even think about that. Someone who wants to DIE because they are so unhappy and feel there is no way to feel better outside of killing themselves to end the torment doesn’t have the capacity to think outside themselves.

    There can be compassion for both him and his family.

    But there never is. Thats my point. It's all about poor Robin Williams. Never about his wife and kids. They are still waking up to the horror of what happened....STILL!
    I won't go into details of my situation, but I had another. My family lived next door to the Actor Ray Combs down in LA....he killed himself and the fucking kids found him after school. "POOR RAY COMBS" huh? My aunt and uncle said the family fucking shredded apart because of that. I'm quite sure they are still fucked up 30 years later. I'll let this go, but the impact of this on the family left behind is the fucked up thing nobody mentions. A year from on social media you won't see one fucking mention of his kids....only "POOR TWITCH". Cowards!

    I get where you are coming from. I choose to have compassion for both. All involved are human beings dealing with great suffering and they all deserve compassion.

    Ray Combs hung himself in his hospital room, not at home. I believe a nurse found him.

    That may be true. My aunt said the ambulances all pulled up to the house and brought his body out with the family all right there. Who knows who to believe. We used to swim in their pool on summer break down there in Glendale. Weird family, mormon I believe. That guy was crazy, always yelling at the kids.

    Who in the world has ever not felt bad for the family left behind? Huh?
