Robin Williams found dead at 63

Awful. RIP.

They honered him today in Germanys top news show.
The annoucer stood on her desk like in the fab movie.

As much as we should prevent people suffering through what he suffered we should do what his wife asked of us to remember his life and career

Poor guy and he still kept a smile on it must have been hard for him to have all this pain but keep to himself and put it to the back.

Robin Williams was also paying massive amounts of alimony from two failed marriages, while only performing bit roles in movies (voicing a talking dog and voicing Teddy Roosevelt).

Yes that happens with a lot of divorced men

Still, while he continued to work regularly, Williams no longer pulled in the big paydays he had in his earlier career and, with tens of millions of dollars in divorce settlements from his first two marriages to contend with, he found himself facing growing money problems.

In hopes of shoring up his finances and recapturing some of the old "Mork & Mindy" magic, he returned to television last fall with a highly touted starring role in the comedy "The Crazy Ones." CBS had high hopes for the show, on which Williams played an over-the-top Chicago ad man opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar. The gig also provided a steady paycheck — a reported $165,000 per episode — which he candidly admitted he needed.

"I have two [other] choices: Go on the road doing stand-up, or do small, independent movies working almost for scale," Williams told Parade magazine in 2013. "There are bills to pay."

To raise cash, Williams also decided to part with a 640-acre ranch in Napa he had owned for more than a decade, a spread he called Villa Sorriso, or "Villa of Smiles," which was listed this spring for $29.9 million. "I just can't afford it anymore," Williams told Parade, adding, "Divorce is expensive.... It's ripping your heart out through your wallet."

Damn thats sad you would think he would get high profile high paying roles being the massive star he was

Very shocking and sad. We all loved him.
