lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am
utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin's family, we are asking for
privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is
our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless
moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.”

How can one so blessed with things have such a huge void in his soul? I guess only Jesus Christ can truly fill the void in all our souls.
We will miss you Rob,you brought so much joy and laughter to our families in Mrs Doubtfire,Flubber,Centurion man,The Genie in Alladin,etc.Alas,your private life was not exactly great.R.I.P .may you find peace in the bosom of The Lord.

Farewell Mr Robin Williams
i just Watched your 5 most memorable Roles of Robert Williams but the most memorable for me is Peter Pan and Jumanji
That is just TOO sad, Robin Williams is one of the greatest comedians that ever lived! He made a lot of people laugh, how can he then be suffering from severe depression? Didn't his humor reach him too?
This is so sad. How can Robin, who made us laugh with abandon die of depression. Rest in peace dear one.
I don't know why Americans are not happy even with all they have, Nigerians are happy people even if their meals are 101 or 001. I don't understand what would make this man that we so much love to take his life.
Too much tax and bills is driving the whites to their early grave

Worrying is the misuse of your imagination. Put it to better use.Begin now to love and offer a helping hand to your parents, brothers and sisters, cousins, nephews and nieces. Inlaws and friends. God has helped you already. HE gives you life. Good luck beloved. Shalom.
Jesus is the solid rock. All other ground is sinking sand.

Robin Williams, am a strong fan. May his soul rest in peace
May his soul rest in peace. Sometimes you just but wonder what they lack that makes them go into depression to the point of committing suicide if that is truly the cause of his death. Where was the wife through the period of depression? Oyibos and their ways!!!

This is so sad! I love Robin Williams. I wish he had found the happiness one only gets from knowing God and worshiping him. What a loss!
Oh, death why, let continue to pray for Gods kingdom (Linda sugar boy)(75806b71)
How easy it is for us to judge persons that commit suicide, taking that option is never EASY... Until we are all gone, we pray for grace.
Ehya... What a loss. Hollywood'll miss him. RIP

Ode. There's nothing special about that. CNN is broadcasted Live worldwide. You should be sympathising with the bereaved.
RIP Robin. It's so sad the world couldn't make you happy, yet you made many happy. Depression is a bitch that makes everything hopeless.
Will remember him best as Genie from Alladin, my fave Disney film.

"Seize the day, boys".

Comfort to his loved ones.

Its sad when people take their own life like they created it themselves. So sad Robin, you made pple laff yet u were so sad.
RIP Robin
RIP Robin Williams, nice man.
This goes to show that money and fame do not give true happiness. Lots of people are 'made' but deep down in their hearts they're not happy. God is the only true source of happiness. When U trust and leave all ur cares for Him to handle, He never disappoints. God has just given me a two-fold miracle which has brought immense joy to my soul. HE IS A GOOD GOD!!!
This painful...suicide or not!!! He was a great guy!!!
Not him..oh no
RIP..Robin williams..
Well…I guess he got tired of life. R.I.P..Money can't buy happiness.
Iam also terribly Depress and having Suicidal thoughts every single minute.
Exactly my dear....cos how do you explain all these...they famous & rich yet still depressed...only Jesus Christ can truly satisfy our soul....seek Him today
"A whole human life is just a heartbeat here in heaven."
Shocking! But always be remembered by his quotes.
Pls dear don't think of that, talk to God in prayers... you are better than millions of people out there.. but they are living happy...there's nothing too difficult for God to do.. we all have our trying times.....
RIP ROBIN

@anon 7:51 best comment, keep it up
why do i have the feeling that his wife killed him for probably insurance money & made it seem like a suicide. I guess that's why her statement read;"it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.” She's trying to divert attention.
