(CNN) -- Comedic actor Robin Williams died at his Northern California home Monday, law enforcement officials said. Williams was 63.

Coroner investigators suspect "the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia," according to a statement from the Marin County, California, Sheriff's office.

"Robin Williams passed away this morning," his media representative Mara Buxbaum told CNN.

"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."

I'm sure this will ruffle some feathers but it's just how I feel. I loved Robin Williams. He was funny as shit and what he did with the troops/USO might be some of the best comedy ever. But I just can't bring myself to say Rest In Peace. He took the easy way out by suicide. I can promise you none of the family members and friend will sleep in peace tonight. They will suffer cause he's gone and they will suffer cause he chose the easy way out. JMO!! Makes me so mad that people do this to themselves but more to what they have done to their families.

Goes to show you how bad depression can be. IMO


People who battle severe depression can often look at taking their own life as a means to an end. Depression is nothing to mess with, its a very real medical condition.

Very sad news to hear.

I agree about depression Jc but I just can't feel any sorrow inside. Fellow employee did this to himself a month ago and I haven't shed one tear or felt pain. All I feel is anger!!! Guess we all deal with death different but his family are all suffering right now cause of his decision. I just can't feel bad for him. Feel bad for his family though!!

I always say the same thing, "How can someone do that to their family?"

I could never do it. I just can't imagine killing myself. I don't understand what would make things that bad to do it. I know it is a very powerful disease though and I can't imagine what it feels like to have it. Not knowing what it feels like makes it really hard for me to judge people who do it. I'm thinking clearly and they are not. If life was that bad to begin with, I would only feel like I was piling on to say it was the easy way out. I'm sure there was probably nothing easy about anything for them.

The people who kill themselves after committing a violent crime like school shootings and such, those are the ones I call COWARDS!!!

I can't say that about Robin. RIP Brother. NANO, NANO!!!!!!!

I'll be the first to say I'm probably the outcast when it comes to suicide. It's a shock to people so the first response most people feel is sympathy. My first feeling is anger. I respected him as an actor who made me laugh all the time. And I respected him as a person while he was alive. But now I don't respect him. Just my opinion. People can tell him to RIP for the next 10 pages of this thread and I'll respect their feelings and be fine with it. I just get angry when someone that makes a difference in this world leaves us this way!!

You are not the outcast Vols, I think many people feel the way that you do. Believe it or not, some people commit suicide because they feel that their family will be better off without them, making it an unselfish motive in their mind. I feel sorry for people in this frame of mind but right now Robin Williams doesn't need our sympathy, his family members do. I am far from a religious zealot but I do believe in God and right now I am hopeful that he will have mercy on his soul.

I thank God that he gave me enough strength to deal with difficult issues without having to rely on other substances. Unfortunately not everyone has the strength to deal with difficult issues or their will just wears down. We will never know what he was thinking when he slipped that rope around his neck but one thing is certain....he felt that there was no other way out and the world would be better off without him.

My only issue with suicide is that someone has to find you and often it is a loved one, leaving them scarred for life. About 7 years ago a man from my town decided he was going to kill himself. He chose a time when no one was at home. He called 911 and told them to come to his house and he will be in the front yard. He did the deed and a few minutes later the ambulance came, saving his family from the trauma of his death and finding his broken body at the same time. He had terminal cancer and did not want to put his family through the trauma and the imminent death.

It really makes him a coward but no one will say that and its also very selfish...We were not created to be depressed and all of this depression stuff imo is all man made and greatly supported by the #4 killer in America....************ Drugs

Just imagine what people go through to think suicide is their best option. It's a scary thought. Depression snowballs, and taking meds to mask the problem doesn't really fix it IMO. Sucks. I use to see Robin Williams growing up all the time he lives near me, and he was always awesome.

Watched Robin Williams last night on an episode of "Inside the Actors' Studio" from 2001. I sat and laughed through the entire episode. He was a one-of-a-kind talent.

I had an uncle whom I really loved who committed suicide many years ago...swallowed a 12-guage shotgun...My brother and I got so angry that we busted up a bunch of furniture in a motel room and had to pay for it.

He and I made a pact that we would never do that to each other.

Man that sucks big time !!
I had a boy I coached who was a stud baseball player whose mom committed suicide when he was a senior in high school. It really fucked him up for a while. It was tough playing ball his senior year, especially when they do parents night for the seniors. That was very hard on him.
He is married now and has a baby. He swears he will NEVER leave his baby like his mom did to him.

Suicide hurts so many people and it sucks.
I could never do that to my family.
