    That's weird about the Robin Williams-referencing Family Guy that was on tonight. And I was just watching Night At The Museum (with him as the Teddy Roosevelt statue that comes to life) on Sky too.

    I think his family would appreciate it if people would stop gossiping on what happened at such an early stage. This is a tragedy and no assumptions should be made on the premises of his death.

    Indeed, his mother is very active on after hours.

    I remember he checked in to rehab a few months ago. He gave some weird explanation saying that he hadn't fallen off the wagon, that it was just a precautionary measure. I remember thinking that was kind of strange. Maybe it's not, maybe people do that sometimes. So sad, though.

    I'm stunned by the sad news. Robin Williams was one of the greats. I always enjoy his films. R.I.P to a legend.

    Christ, I had heard he was having some dark periods, but the man was a legend, off to have a few drams of single malt in memory.

    There's no way anyone can make a joke of this. Robin Williams is just one of them all time legends that everyone loves and probably grew up with throughout their childhood. So sad, may he R.I.P :(

    Just heard the news on the Huffington Post. Genuinely shocked to the core. I grew up watching re-runs of "Mork & Mindy" along with seeing him perform in movies such as Jumanji, Hook and Mrs. Doubtfire. I seriously feel like crying now. :(
    He was one of the greats.

    On reading the thread title I thought it must be another Robin Williams. That's very sad news. Proper funny, talented guy.
