A family friend, who reportedly spoke with Williams recently, told the website the 63-year-old "Good Morning Vietnam" actor was upset he had to work so much insure his family's financial security, especially after two pricey divorces.
"All he could talk about (was) serious money troubles," the friend reportedly said. "There were clearly other issues going on and Robin sounded distant during the telephone conversation."
Marin County authorities will hold an 11 a.m. news conference. CBS News reports it heard a Marin County fire scanner audio in which an operator describes what happened in Williams' Tiburon home as an "apparent suicide attempt by hanging."
TMZ reports Williams didn't leave a suicide note.
Williams was also reportedly upset over doing a "Mrs. Doubtfire" sequel, which was supposed to begin filming later this year, the friend told RadarOnline.
"There was also frustration that Robin expressed at having to take television and movie roles he didn't want to take, but had to for the paycheck," the source said. "Doing sequels was never Robin's thing, and he wasn't that excited at having to reprise the role of Mrs. Doubtfire."

Don't understand. Dude was by everything I hear a good dude. He went and entertained the troops over seas and wanted no publicity for it and was one of the few celebrities that got involved in the charities he was involved with. Nobody was safe when it came to his comedy, but that's a general rule of comedy (especially stand up). What's the problem here?

1st thing I thought about when I heard how he died was this movie that I wasn't able to sit through:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World's_Greatest_Dad
It's about a dad who finds his son dead due to autoerotic asphyxiation.
Apparently he killed himself the way D'angelo from the wire was killed. A belt around the neck, and then attached himself to a doorknob.
But McNulty said that was bullshyt.
Crazy to hear about the money issues he was having. You'd think after Aladdin he'd be set for life
Dude was TOO funny!
I gotta check out more of his dramatic movies though.
Any recommendations?
