Autopsy results is out. Robin Williams hanged himself with a belt

The autopsy report of legendary actor Robin Williams is out - he committed suicide by hanging himself with a belt in his home. But before using the belt, Robin had tried to kill himself by slitting his wrist with a pocket knife. When that suicide attempt failed, he used a belt.
According to the Marin County Deputy Coroner, Robins Williams was at home alone Monday when he tried slashing his left wrist, but it only left "acute superficial cuts. He then took a belt, tied it around his neck and secured it between the closet door and door frame. Williams was in a seated position, slightly suspended with his right shoulder against the door. " TMZ reports. He didn't leave a suicide note...
The Coroner said Robin's personal assistant discovered his body hours later. The legendary actor had been battling depression for a while and even went to a Minnesota rehab facility just last month.

No matter how famous or rich you are, if you don't allow Jesus Christ take center stage in your life, you will die shamefully and rot in hell. Don't make fame and money your bed rock, but allow God, through Jesus Christ to be your Bed rock. there is life after death. There is no sickness or issues God cannot handle, just take it to Him in prayers and allow the Holy Spirit perfect it.

Isolation leads to depression...
A problem shared is half solved; bottle it and you'll find yourself in a different world.
Hmm.. May his soul RIP.

It's never easy for anyone battling with depression, I never met you, but you always were one of my favorite comic. Memories still lingers. I grew up watching you humor us non-stop...... "Angriest man in Brooklyn 2014" must watch!

..........Rest in Peace Sir Robin Williams, You did to us what no one could reciprocate.

I also get depressed a lot of times and then I begin to think and worry a lot. ThankGod for God he see's me through such times. What I do at such situations is that I either pray & rebuke it or talk to a loved one and before u know it,am out of it.

R.I.P so sad..

Chikaka said...

God, don't you know the difference between hung and hanged? The confidence in your ignorance is astounding.

Hanged is for humans and hung is for clothes, paintings, mirrors and inanimate things.

It looks like it's you who was sleeping instead of going to school. I just can't deal!

I hope you have learnt something today.

Anon 8:28. Depression is a mental illness. It is not so simple to explain. Depression is more than just failure, poverty. It is more than knowing or not knowing God. It is uncontrollable when ignored. People who know God have been depressed and suicidal. Some feel it would be better if they were not here anymore so they kill themselves. It is sad.

I am just trying to imagine him going to the motions before he drew his last breath, cutting his wrist, securing his belt. What was going through his mind, what was he thinking! I can't even begin to imagine!

Yea depression is real. I took a full sachet of panadol- 20 tablets and 30 tablets of aspirin as well as consumed water mixed with chlorine and another chemical in a bid to end it all only a couple of months ago. God saved me. Apart from slight stomach inconvenience, I was perfectly fine "to my dismay".
I was going through a lot at the time. Was out of job, lost my car, my relationship was crumbling as well and had so much pressure from family. It was overwhelming. After my suicidal attempt failed, I wrote to one of my pastors in church anonymously- a female. She said a lot but among all she said was something I took seriously "Find God, and you'll find yourself" That was exactly what I did, and today my life totally belongs to God. I have never been happier. Everything isn't even perfect funny enough. Don't have another car yet, I now have a job that well, isn't really a job but something to hold on to anyway, my relationship is working out fine now thou, we are getting married. Things could be better, but I am happy and hopeful.

Incase you are wondering, I took my time to write this for people who are presently going through what I went through. As long as there is life, there is hope. Depression is all in the mind regardless of one's age. At the age of 24, I thought I was supposed to be so on top of my game just cuz I had alwez had it good and was alwez ahead of my peers. I graduated at age 20, got working and earning money real quick so I cracked when push came to shove. I am still 24 thou. lol. But I have learnt to appreciate my life for what it is worth. There are people out there who would give anything to be like me.

So if you feel depressed for whatever reason, well all I can say is "Find God and you will find yourself"

Felt this way yesterday just before I heard about him. I was looking and actually checked to see if the clothes love is strong enough to bear my weight if I do decide to go ahead but trust me having God makes all the difference.

If you are looking for what to correct, leave 'hanged' alone, it is fine. However, you can go for autopsy results IS out. It is so easy to spot mistakes when they are written by someone else. Linda, mind me not, you hear.

Anonymous said...

When you are depressed you just feel alone. You feel like no one will notice your absence anyway. It makes you forget people love you. You feel no one understands. It goes beyond, money, fame, Hollywood. It is about the mind taking over the body. I've been there but family and God helped me. Unfortunately most of them don't know God personally. They have mostly sycophants not friends. The easy way for most of them is drugs and eventually they succumb to the lie of depression that no one cares if you are here or not and kill themselves. RIP Robin.

I'm sorry.. It took an autopsy to deduce that he hanged himself with a belt? Did he hide the belt after he had died? If na Naija now, nobody go hear word.

At my age, I already know how it feels. I have already done some weird stuffs. It's never easy. The future scares me.

Brown suga said...

What a life? Pls don't give up in life & don't give up on God, no matter what d challenge looks like. Lfe without Christ is a life full of crises but life with Him is peace guaranteed. Lesson from dis case; sometimes dat person we admire, envy or look up to may not really be whom we think they really are. Look up to Christ alone for with him there is peace, he alone can shoulder our burden & give us rest.

Brown suga said...

Academicians correcting Linda & co, hanged ( is verb) though archaic past of hang, while d right word should be hung (verb) which is d past of hang. So we can correct politely rada dan d insults, nobody is a mastery of knowledge.

Unknown said...

Anonymous 8:53, you are the illiterate here. That you've seen folks in the movies or heard some ignorant persons speak trash doesn't make it right. Must you be part of the bandwagon?
The past tense and past participle of the word "Hang" is "Hung".

Anonymous said...

Hanged and hung can be used interchangeably as the past tense and past participle of hang. But when it come to referring to an execution (eg hanging), the most appropriate form is hanged.

That's the misconception that drives me crazy. This is not an "Oyinbo" people problem!! There are many Nigerians living with undiagnosed mental illness! Most of the "mad" people that roaming the streets are schizophrenic, so no it's not an "Oyinbo" people problem, it's a problem that affect everyone. Mental illness can only be "controlled" by medication, that means you can never really cure it. Money will not make you depression go away. The truth is people with little to no money always fantasize about how much better their lives would be if they had money, but in truth your problems are magnified when you have a lot of money! Yes you'll be able to afford better things, yes you'll be able to pay your bills, but you'll never be sure if the people around you are there because they care about you or because they want something from you. And that's a horrible place to be in because you can't trust anyone. Everything in your life seems bigger when you are depressed, you feel like someone just died all the time!!!!

Moral of the story: mental illness can affect anyone, and money can't change how you are chemically wired! No one knows you more than yourself, if you feel "sad" all the time (more than two weeks), get professional help.

Depression is more than a 'mental illness'. it's a Demonic Spirit. Please folks we are in the last days brace yourselves for satan is doing everything possible to take all of us lest we hear the gospel and be saved. Remain fervent in prayer and keep yourself Holy and Righteous for Jesus. There is a spiritual battle(whether or not your aware)for souls right. Don't be a victim of satan's trap and receive Jesus into your life . And if you have already received HIM but have fallen back, repent and return to HIM for it's not to late.
I'm not here to get you to join a religion, Christainity is more thann just a religion. Jesus Christ didnt come just to start up a religion, He came to give you HIS own quality of life..a life that surpases sin, defeat, depression,lack,sickness and failure.

Take a minute and think about this and remember tomorrow is promised to NO ONE.
God bless you.
