Just stunned.  Mike Greenberg said it best... never met the man (Williams) in my life,  but it feels like I've just lost a close friend.

If you ever caught his episode of Inside the Actor's Studio his sketch with just an audience member's shawl is absolute pure comedic genius.

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.

My heart aches for those that are in so much anguish that they believe that is the only way out. The survivors have so many emotions they have to deal with now. Prayers for them.

This breaks my heart. He was a great guy and one of the best comedic talents around.

I cannot imagine what he must have been going through.

So sad. I am in tears. Great guy. I grew up with him starting with Happy Days on.... I hope this helps people who are struggling mentally, please get help. We all get off our game from time to time. Mental illness is not the same as crazy. How ironic that someone who has made so many people laugh is making so many people cry. He was the best comedian out there. No one could improvise like this man. I feel like a part of all America has died. Why is it that people with his kind of talent for making people laugh are the most tormented? Sometimes it just goes with the territory.

Unbelievable, but i heard years ago that he struggled quite a bit with drug addiction. 

It just goes to show, the flashy Hollywood lifestyle is not all it's cracked up to be.  He was definitely an A-lister. 

He will be missed.
