Very sad, even if I wasn't much of a fan.

That settled the "discussion" between hubby and me. I said it sounded
like he'd hung himself, he asked how I knew that. Carbon monoxide is
the alternative - but that's not what came to mind first.

Isn't astounding how many truly, naturally funny comedians came out of
that generation?

Jack Benny just nailed it, so wry in his delivery and facial mannerisms.

I mean at some point, didn't one of your parents or an uncle buy a car
from a guy like Phil Silvers?

Likely a used one ;-)

I get my news late, old school, the newspaper. I want it that way. I read about it in the papers and saw the part about the knife found nearby.

Any good detective has to know this was murder. A genius like Robin Williams not able to slice through his own wrists? Come on man, tell that to someone else.

Someone planted that knife near Williams to bolster the suicide theory. It worked. Who did it? We don't know yet but are looking into several disgruntled comics who angry that Williams received so much undue praise while he was alive. Yes, undue. The guy was not funny. He was an actor playing the role of a comic.

Anyway, the guy is dead and I don't care, other than to say I love when famous people die - it's a thrill reading all the schmaltzy farewells from others in the same asskissing field of show business. I love it. It's like the Jerry Lewis telethon, it carries that same vibe of enjoyment. But the Robin frenzy will soon die out and there will be a lull until some younger famous person dies, and when that happens I can only hope I know who that person is so I can enjoy the event and not be denied my voice at the water cooler.

I was a fan of Williams as a comedian and an actor, but I still don't
understand why choose that method of death. Hanging has got to rank
right up there as one of the most gruesome ways to go. What a horrible
image to leave your family. I cannot pretend to understand the level of
his depression. But I do think it would have been kinder [for his
family] for him to find some other way...

Now it's coming out that he was in the beginning stage of Parkinson's.
He exercised to decrease his depression and with Parkinson's, he would
have reached a stage where he couldn't do that. It was a no win
situation.

Someone with his resources could easily have gotten his hands on a bottle
of secobarbital. Take an anti-emetic first, then wash the reds down with
a little water, followed by some ice cold American Pale Ale when you first
start feeling the effects of the barbiturate, and you die in your sleep quite peacefully.

Bryan has no capability of having empathy, don't expect him to. It's a
product of his neurosis.

You could make a fortune with information that by hiring out as a
consultant to the various states that are trying to kill off their
death row inmates.

many more gruesome ways to do it. How about a shotgun to the head and
have brains and skull pieces splattered everywhere? Sadly my own SIL
hung herself only a few months ago. I don't consider suicide a selfish
act like others here have said. When you are that bad off, you just
want to end it all. It's pretty much your own life which you have
control over. Very sad situation in all cases.

I've mentioned before, my SO's father blew his brains out and he had to
go clean up the mess. That is not an image you want someone to have to
remember. Same thing with finding someone hanging.

I'm sorry about your SIL. I still think it's a gruesome image to leave
with your family.

If things are really that bad, drink a bottle of booze and take a bunch
of pills, then lie down and die.

Sometimes that doesn't work and then what?

I think the problem with that scenario is that it is not always a
certain end.

I knew Robin personally. Robin was working on a new act where he would pretend to strangle himself with a belt on stage. Suicide was not the culprit, perfection was Robin's undoing. He was using "the method" to get into character with the belt and went too far. He went so far into character he never came out.

I see nothing sad about it. Suicide is an interesting topic, very intriguing. People talk about suicide a lot, even those who will never do it.

Who among us has not engaged in joyful discussions about how we're going to do it when the time comes?

Most interesting is, talking about it is just that - talk. Doing it is something else. You might spend you whole life thinking you'll go with pills or a gun to the head when the time comes. You might go your whole life convinced that jumping off a tall building is a method you will NEVER use. But when the time arrives you will not be the same person you were when you sat around theorizing about it. The moment will seize you in it's sudden embrace.

When you're nuts, there aint no ifs,
No ands, no buts
You gotta do what you gotta do
Blow out your brains
Or jump into a lion cage
At the local county zoo..............

I call that "Death Poem" #1, more are on the way
