Suicide!!?!?!?! No freakin way!!! How terrible!! Yes, I really liked this actor too, even despite his politics. What a shocking way for a comedian to go.

Comedians are often tortured souls.

They can be very high one moment, and crash the next.

Don’t like to see anyone go this way.

I have some funny memories watching his comedy routines. His battles with alcohol, drugs and depression were well-known. RIP.

Heavy drug use, bankruptcy, failed marriages and a failing career

Comedians have demons. He checked himself into rehab not long ago. So sad. Thanks for all the laughs, Robin.

I expect to read this about Tiger Woods one of these times. What with steroids and Rory as the new golf king.

Politics aside, great comedic talent. Sad. Tears of a clown.

Shocking. Not a perfect person, by any means, but a gifted person, who made a lot of people laugh. God rest his soul.

My impression has always been that he was a manic/depressive personality.

Suicide by asphyxiation....wondering if this was a Carradine kind of scenario.

All great comedians are tortured souls, although this truly surprised me. RIP.
