Oscar winner and comedian Robin Williams died this morning at 63. While his publicist wouldn’t confirm that it was a suicide, they did issue this statement. “Robin Williams passed away this morning. He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”
Williams, who won an Oscar for his supporting role in Good Will Hunting, will reprise his role as Theodore Roosevelt in the third installment of Night at the Museum this December. He had recently signed on to reprise his beloved role as Mrs. Doubtfire in a sequel to be directed by Chris Columbus and was last seen opposite Annette Bening in the indie film The Face of Love.
According to a press release issued by the Marin County Coronor’s office, the Sheriff’s office suspects the death to be “suicide due to asphyxia.” The 9-1-1 phone call came in just before noon today.

Well, fuck that.

I second the "Fuck that". One of my all time favorites.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Heard about this yesterday when out with friends. Instead of doing what we had planned, we went and watched a bunch of his movies on Netflix. He will be missed.

I think I'll be watching some of his stuff and laughing through the tears.

This hit me like a runaway bus. I'm miserable.

That's a real bummer. I've seen one of his early one man stand-up shows (on tape) and it was the funniest couple of hours I think I've ever spent. He will be sadly missed.

Re: Robin Williams dead at 63
I heard about this just after it went on the news. With my mental health as it is, I often find that laughter helps much better than anything else. Robin Williams would always have me in stitches. I love so many of his films, and his stand up.
