Robin Williams dead. Apparent suicide. He was 63.

[Twilight Hue]

He was one of my favorites. I guess his internal conflicts outweighed his personal success and joy he brought to so many people with his talents. I dont know why this happened but may he rest in peace now. Gonna miss him.

If verified, a most tragic outcome. Not unexpected, but tragic nonetheless. The added sadness to this story is found within the overall track record of known (and self-confessed) substance abusers. Typically, by his attained age (of 63), the demons of addiction are either purged, or have exacted their toll much earlier.

Robin Williams highlights the never-ending struggle with true addiction, despite relative age or personal fortunes.

The man was a comic genius. No other comedic peer is likely to rise again within his own accounting of years.

Too many...too soon.

True. Goes to show you even massive success, wealth, and fame can't pacify a persons inner demons. Death will come to us all but it's still hard to to come to grips as to why in light of Robin Williams success, that it became more preferable to check out.
