It's official! He did commit suicide.

The Marin County Sheriff's department reported there were cuts along Williams' left wrist, and that a pocket knife was found close to his body. The Sheriff's department confirmed on August 12, 2014 that Williams was found with a belt around his neck and that preliminary results of forensic examination supported his death to be a result of asphyxia by hanging.

I think part of me broke when I had heard the news. I have so many memories of laughing at his films, voice acting work, and his stand up. Just watching a clip this past weekend, when he was entertaining troops and they started playing "Retreat" while lowering the flag during his act.

 

RIP Robin Williams. You will be forever known, to me, as the funniest comedian ever.

This tribute, though

A little "what-if" thoughts on Williams: He was rumored several years back to be cast as the Joker in TDK (I found this out just now!! shame on me...). Now, we know how freakin' LEGENDARY Heath's performance was, but it does make me wonder how Williams would've done it. Compared to Ledger, Williams was a seasoned veteran and a Hollywood legend while the young Ledger was still a little wet behind the ears and was just starting to find his footing on the Hollywood stage. 

 

We know that Nolan intended for The Joker to be as psychotically disturbing as possible, and considering Williams' battle with manic depression and bipolar disorder, I actually wonder.... wouldn't he have been able to relate to the character the most? would he have played the part just as well as Ledger did or even better?

 

It's actually kinda ironic, too. Williams was a Hollywood legend who was passed over for the role, but Ledger himself became a legend on par with Williams (IMO) after his performance on the movie.

Thanks to this thread, I can understand depression and how serious it could become.

New information indicates that Williams was suffering the initial stages of Parkinson's.  No wonder he was depressed.  That on top of his other issues?

I know it sorta doesn't belong here, but if you need cheering up (aside from watching Robin Williams' routines and comedies), here's a little gem from Guardians of the Galaxy that was released in the internet:  SPOILERS, but it's funny.

 

SPOILER Warning applies, of course.
