Famous comic Robin Williams dies of suicide at age 63, (non-political discussion).

Mork and Mindy, Hook, Mrs. Doubt Fire, Good Morning Vietnam, Hunter, 4 time Oscar nominee, 1 time winner, and so many other unforgettable comedic episodes. A stand-up comic of unforgettable worthiness. What a wonderful, colorful, and brilliant actor/comedian to have had in the USA for so many decades. Sorely missed by his fans, and of course, his family. If you agree in the least bit, make a sad or cogent commentary. If not, you missed a great human being imho. Maybe it's not soooo happy to be wealthy and famous?

Let me just clarify that it is strongly expected to be suicide at this point.  Here's one of his old bits on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show teamed up with Jonathon Winters, who played Williams' son back on the Mork & Mindy show, a visit where he was actually more reserved than usual.

Been watching the first season of Mork & Mindy tonight.... its nice to see Williams doing what he was so good at

Fabulous comic, actor and human being. May his family be able to find solace in what a wonderful man he was and all the lives he touched.

Loved his comedy genius, his politics were a different story.

I don't know his politics, and for all intents and purposes, at this point, don't really care either. He made all of AMERICA Laugh, even when it was hard to do. And HE was a TRUE COMEDIAN in the truest sense of the word. There is NO ONE saying he was anything but a genius at his craft, and his appreciation of his fellow man, and that's rare indeed! If you DIE with NO ENEMIES, that indeed is rare! To think that anyone has the ability to do this to themselves, esp. with all the years of success, to me at least, is unbelievable. It was finally revealed that he hung himself on his own belt, and that for me isn't consistent with his persona.

Robin Williams was so far left that if he were a car he would have been in a perpetual left turn.

Williams was wise enough to leave his politics outside of most of his performances and comedy routines, but yes, he was very left.
