I'm shocked and don't know what to say.

I wonder if addiction was involved.

Sadly, it's true...The Press releases say he was deeply depressed lately...

I guess that means that we should really look around and not take anyone for granted. I have been battling a horrendous depression for the last couple of months. I think now would be a good time to say it can get worse and either watch myself really close or get help. I just can't believe he's gone =(

the coroner "suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia." This is rather disturbing, he had fought with addictions and depression...

God Bless you Robin. Hope you found peace.

It blows my mind. It serves as a reminder to all of us. Don't mess around with it. If you need help or suspect someone who does... seek help.

People who have not struggled with addiction and depression can't understand how this can happen.

I have fought severe depression for a really long time now and adding on the addiction only made it worse. That being said, I can speak from personal experience that things like this should not be ignored.

It's so sad. He was immensely talented!

The news I saw was he was suffering from severe depression but I didn't hear much else.

RIP Robin

May God give you a high place in Heaven for all the joy you brought into the hearts of millions of adoring fans!

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
