Robin Williams Passes Away

I purely wish to keep this thread on respecting his wife & family wishes as stated below<br /><br /><br />“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. 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.”<br /><br /><br /><br />"There's minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions," says his daughter Zelda<br /><br />In a series of moving tributes, members of Robin Williams' family are remembering the late star as a husband, dad, best friend and "gentle soul," who as his daughter Zelda said, "was always warm, even in his darkest moments."<br /><br />Williams died Monday, and his older son, Zack Williams, said, "Yesterday, I lost my father and a best friend and the world got a little grayer. I will carry his heart with me every day. I would ask those that loved him to remember him by being as gentle, kind and generous as he would be. Seek to bring joy to the world as he sought."  <br /><br />Zelda Williams, his daughter, commented, "My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that's gone, and I feel stripped bare." Williams had expressed his love for Zelda in a tweet on the occasion of her 25th birthday on July 31, and she added,  "My last day with him was his birthday, and I will be forever grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter. He was always warm, even in his darkest moments. While I'll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, there's minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions. It doesn't help the pain, but at least it's a burden countless others now know we carry, and so many have offered to help lighten the load. Thank you for that."<br /><br />She continued, "To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favorite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you've had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh too. Dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls I’ve ever known, and while there are few things I know for certain right now, one of them is that not just my world, but the entire world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence. We'll just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again."<br />Cody Williams, his younger son, testified, "There are no words strong enough to describe the love and respect I have for my father. The world will never be the same without him. I will miss him and take him with me everywhere I go for the rest of my life, and will look forward, forever, to the moment when I get to see him again."<br /><br />Marsha Garces Williams, Williams' second wife and mother to Zelda and Cody, added, "My heart is split wide open and scattered over the planet with all of you. Please remember the gentle, loving, generous — and yes, brilliant and funny — man that was Robin Williams. My arms are wrapped around our children as we attempt to grapple with celebrating the man we love, while dealing with this immeasurable loss." <br />In a previously release statement, Susan Schneider, Williams' current wife, offered her thoughts: "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. 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."

    What an interesting COINCIDENCE.  ;D<br /><br />
    In an eerie coincidence, BBC Three aired a Robin Williams-centric episode of ‘Family Guy’ featuring a suicide attempt, moments before news of the comic’s tragic death broke.<br /><br />

    Just been watching Robin and Koko again and sobbing like a baby.<br />The world is  poorer for his great loss.<br /> Heartbroken. <br />God bless  you Sir. I loved your films and the laughter, but I will always hold you fondly in my heart and mind, a dog rescue advocate who had  compassion toward other species we share this planet with. <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9I_QvEXDv0

    <br /><br />Seriously?  You really think he died?  Have we learned nothing here?

    Yes I do Gwynned. I don't think every death is a hoax and I don't think all of Hollywood is in on it. <br />And yes, I  believe that people do indeed die. But in the case of the 'death ' of Michael Jackson,  I don't .  Well not yet. He along with all the rest of us, will one day though. <br />

    <br /><br />WHY do you think he died? You see, I generally think most news is complete fiction unless I investigate and it passes the smell test.  This one did not, after a day or two of research.  For example, the BBC was airing a Family Guy episode which featured Robin Williams and had something to do with suicide just as the news came out that he had died.  Several people have already done videos noting the odd coincidences in some of his movies and so, if I were a betting woman, I would put my money on NOT DEAD.

    <br /><br />i personally have accepted that he had died, but recently am stumbling upon things that just don't make sense surrounding his death. i don't want spend another 4 years believing that Robin is alive and see nothing. unlike MJ, Rboni has no new content which can be published over time only the recent movies he has finished and will be released this and next year.<br /><br />for some examples<br /><br />1 ) A man who is suffering from "deep depression" the wife did not A ) SLEEP with her husband and B did not CHECK on him before leaving. if i was in depression, i hate being left alone, as that alone triggers your emotion to think of absurd things.<br /><br />2) announcement of the death a press conference was for 1 set up way to quickly, and appears like a set up kind of thing, like the MJ death.<br /><br />3) the day before his death, a mass "hoax" was spread that he had died, and the day after he "died"<br /><br />4) All family outcry and emotion has only appeared on the internet, social media etc. zelda all you hear on the news, and nothing much of the wife.<br /><br />but on a opposition argument<br /><br />1 ) mixture of medication and drugs can cause side effects and chemical changes in the brain to cause one to do unnatural things that he or she would not normally do.<br /><br />overall, questioning the "facts" of the death, makes you ask, is what the media telling us the truth?
