    Comedian Robin Williams died this morning. His death is believed to be a suicide by the Sheriff's office.

    Really sad news. Depression is very misunderstood, I know someone who battles it and please God she never reaches the point Williams did. You think, no way would they ever take their own life but you just never know. A year ago Williams was saying how blessed he was, great wife and children and a year later, he kills himself. You think how bad it must of been for him to do that to his family, it was his daughters 25th birthday just last month. Messed up.

    RIP Robin Williams.

    Larry King said it best last eve.. if you have friends or relatives you suspect having depression, people you have not seen for a period of time or hearing rumors of unusal behavior. Pick up the phone or drive to their dwelling to say hello let them know you care. "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem".

    The coroner says that he cut his wrist and hung himself with a belt. Tragic.

    They will hold another presser in weeks to come for toxicology test results to show whether Williams was under the influence of drugs or alcohol when he died.

    Before anyone gets upset at that childish statement just know Robin would probably be saying the same thing.

    Damn shame, and a deep loss to the entire world!
    Of all the people you would LEAST expect to off themselves...
    RIP to one of my two favorite comedians of all time!
    Hope you and Carlin are laughing together somewhere...
    Although with Carlin`s anti-religious viewpoint, it may not necessarily be in heaven... or Hell!
    Heck, the two of you may not even get along together, given your personalities, but I will miss the laughter you both brought to the world!:(
    R.I.P.
