Terrible news. A man who brought so much laughter to millions over decades yet was battling his own depression for much of that time culminating in this dreadful news. RIP.
Really gutted, grew up with his movies ... for a man to have made so many of us smile, to have so little to smile about himself is very sad. Hope people learn and reach out before they leap into the unthinkable
Amazing how many great comedians are such tortured souls, shades of Tony Hancock. I wonder did his lofty perch in life keep him from having true friends who might have helped him ? RIP.
There is something so sad about someone committing suicide, esp as in this case when they would appear to have what a lot of people would strive for - fame and fortune. It just shows that there is no guaranteed recipe for happiness.
I have a lot more respect and understanding of depression these days than I used to due to someone in my life now.
Would urge anyone to read 'A Life too short' by the Germany goalkeeper who's name escapes me for an understanding of how you can appear to have everything but in reality feel like you have nothing.

Just thinking the same thing Grandpa. Terribly sad news. RIP.
Absolutely gutted to hear this, from crazy sitcoms like Mork & Mindy to amazing straight performances like in Dead Poets Society, he was a genius. Great actor and brilliantly funny. RIP.
I've suffered from mental illness over the years and been too some dark places but suicide never crossed my mined, for someone to do this they must of been suffering so so bad, you are at peace now robin, no more suffering, sleep tight, god bless.

Desperately sad to hear this news this morning. Depression is an utter f*cker of an illness.
