They're not saying yet what the cause of his death was.
 

My husband's watching the news on TV in the next room, just heard it...so sad, he was a funny guy, his stand-up was excellent.
 
I am upset that one of our funniest comedians has died. His wife stated that he was in a state of great depression. So sad that he couldn't realize how much he
had contributed to his many admirers. He was also a great actor. I will miss him on the late night shows.

Here he is in the movie What Dreams May Come, I remember that film, very thoughtful thinking about it today.

 
So sad. I suspect he was a victim of bi-polar disease.

We loved the manic aspect of his personality but probably have never seen the other side of the coin.

Farewell Robin, and may you rest now in perfect peace, dear man.
 
It seems like many comedians are sad on the inside, and pass on before their time. :(
 
A guy I've known or several years on another forum, lived in SF during the 80's & 90's. He's told the story a couple of times, about how he had a one night a week, part time moonlight job as a doorman at a well known (now closed) SF comedy club, where Williams & other big name comedians used to perform regularly. Said he got to know him a little. Said that he went (with some other people) to Williams' house once to trampoline in the backyard & late one night, Williams & a bunch of others came by he & his roommate's apartment to party. Said that he called his brother long distance in New Jersey & got Williams to holler GOOD MORNING!!! into the phone, then yelled at him for sleeping so late (it was 5 am in NJ).

I was never a big fan of his, but it is sad none the less.
 
My family and I considered this man, this great comedian, a family 'friend.' When my children and I moved to North Idaho, we SO missed Denver for awhile and could hardly wait for the new episodes of Mork and Mindy because it would show scenes of Denver and Boulder.
We had this funny orange tabby cat that we just adored. We named him Robin after Robin Williams... the cat was such a natural comedian...and clumsy...we couldn't believe how often he would hit his head in trying to jump up on things! :) We will all miss you, Robin Williams, thank you for bringing us so much joy and laughter. I SO hope his death will inspire the medical field to take more seriously the illness of depression. NO ONE knows what hell that is unless you have truly been there. I am so glad I have never read a lot of criticism about his death...because I think I would have lost it with them. Bless the people who have compassion rather than be quick to judgment.
