Robin Williams
Hollywood actor Robin Williams was found dead from
an apparent suicide. He was 63. Police indicate he died from suicide
and asphyxia, which could indicate he hanged himself or choked on
substances he tried to ingest in high quantity. The actor was best
known for films such as "Jumanji" "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "Man Of The
Year."

For years Williams has done interviews espousing
atheism and anti-Christian views. Though I am a Christian and didn't
agree with his views, I understand it was his right to express
himself. In the 1990s Williams was sued for infecting a mistress
with herpes, during the breakdown of his marriage. Though Williams
was comedian, he always seemed to express moments of sadness and
pessimism that revealed his unhappiness.
Man Of The Year
It's always a sad tragedy when someone commits
suicide. Depression is a terrible thing. During moments of despair
and doubt, people suffering from depression sometimes lose the will
to live, which is regrettable. However, depression can be overcome.
In life, it is better to be optimistic and not think the worst. Hope
for the best and do not dwell on the worse. Go out and enjoy your
life, as it is a precious gift. Value your life and appreciate it.
Live it to the fullest.

Robin Williams, the Academy Award winner and comic supernova whose
explosions of pop culture riffs and impressions dazzled audiences
for decades and made him a gleamy-eyed laureate for the Information
Age, died Monday in an apparent suicide. He was 63.
Williams was pronounced dead at his home in
California on Monday, according to the sheriff's office in Marin
County, north of San Francisco. The sheriff's office said a
preliminary investigation shows the cause of death to be a suicide
due to asphyxia.
"This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend,
while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful
human beings. I am utterly heartbroken," said Williams' wife, Susan
Schneider. "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."
Williams had been battling severe depression
recently, said Mara Buxbaum, his press representative...
"You have an internal critic, an internal drive that
says, 'OK, you can do more.' Maybe that's what keeps you going,"
Williams said. "Maybe that's a demon. ... Some people say, 'It's a
muse.' No, it's not a muse! It's a demon! DO IT YOU BASTARD!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! THE LITTLE DEMON!!"
