So if he was such a genius and the best, what went wrong do you think? I remember him always a Mork from Ork... Mrs. Doubtfire was pretty good, too.
Adios Mork!

David,
Who said anything went wrong?
Maybe he just decided to be in charge of his check-out.
He was one of the brightest comedians to make us laugh over a long period of time.
Suicide is not always a negative or unhealthy choice to make....let's respect his decision to end his life as he did without making it a mistake or
failure.
Robin....thanks for all the belly laughs....your gift has lightened the weight of the world many time for many souls. 
Don't believe everything you think....

He had struggled with severe depression recently, according to his family's press release, and with addiction in the past.
Anytime your brain tells your heart there is no hope left, and your heart believes the lie, it is devastating to the soul.
I wish for his family to find comfort and solace.

Like PTSD, a severe depression is an affliction very difficult to deal with, even for an accomplished shrink, and it often results in a way hard to
comprehend.
RIP Robin.

Although I never had the chance to meet Robin Williams, I once dated a woman with whom he had been involved with years before. Through her I got to
know a lot about the true man behind the on-screen character and what a special man he was - kind, caring, intelligent, unique and fascinating. And
like so many talented people in his art, he struggled with addictions.
His movie "What Dreams May Come", became very dear to me in the months following the loss of my 14 year old daughter Olivia. I probably watched it
over 100 times and the message in that movie helped me to accept and deal with the loss of a child and learn to put her memory in a more healthy place
in my daily life and struggle to move forward.
Rest in peace Robin Williams - you touched so many in your time here and now your memory lives on...

These are my memories as well and good ones at that! I never really cared for his style of comedy as time passed though.
RIP Mr. Williams!

Robin Williams
MotoGed and BajaGringo have thoughtfully hit the issue of ones control of one's exit.
I don't think that choosing your exit is a sign of any illness or weakness - just an expression of your choice.
As I have gotten older, would I want some terminal illness, with the expense and anguish to my family, or would I step off the swimstep of a boat off
Baja.
I know my choice.

It has been said that we die twice: the first time when our body dies.....and the second time is when our name is last spoken.
Robin will live on in spirit and word for some time yet.

Robin talked about using drugs heavily during the time of Mork. His mind was so extraordinary in front of the camera, I wonder what the extent of his
lifelong drug use was and how it might have taken his mind to dark places. I always watched him with amazement.

Good Will Hunting, The World According to Garp. I have avoided "What Dreams May Come" because I can't imagine that nightmare. I'm downloading it now
and will watch it out of respect for Bajagringo.
It's your loss if your memory of Robin Williams is "Mork".
I recall that Robin Williams was a high school wrestler. That's when you're in control. Or not.

Baja connection - Do any of you remember the Christopher Reeves (Superman) documentary on Grey Whales? Reeves and Williams were long time friends and
Williams was by Reeves side throughout his ordeal.
