I am saddened by the passing of Mr. Williams and my sympathy is extended to his family. His death is due to his sever depression/mental health issues and that is tragic.

But, his financial situation, cannot be attributed solely to his divorces. Specifically:

$35,000,000 Estate

He should have had better advisors, as well as being wiser on how he spent his millions.

From Forbes:

While he was reportedly worth around $130 million two years ago, that figure seems well off since Williams later said that he was close to bankruptcy. Recent estimates have pegged his net worth at $50 million, which may also be high based on his reported financial struggles.

Yes! That alone could have helped him immensely imho.

Not really. What is tragic is that his "sever[e] depression/mental health issues " were due to cocaine, alcohol and godless liberalism. There are cures for all those things. That he didn't allow curative thoughts, self-discipline and healing actions to pierce his indulgent lifestyle and selfish death inflicted on his family? Not tragic: evil.
