He was a well-known, self-declared drug addict.
He checked himself into a renewal center just a few weeks ago.

Whitney was high and accidentally drown. This dude committed suicide because he was depressed and most likely broke. Regardless of whether or not he was on drugs, he'd still be depressed and broke. It's not like he accidentally died due to drugs, he killed himself.

So it seems like you're trying to draw a comparison that doesn't fit, at all.

That's like saying that drugs didn't lead to Kurt Cobain's suicide.
He'd still be alive if he wasn't on drugs.

I agree we don't have toxicology reports but I wouldn't be shocked at all if he was high on drugs or Drunk before he hung himself. I been hearing about Robin's drug issue for many, many years even when I was younger.

We have no way of knowing that. Cobain had clinical depression and instability that predates any record of his drug use.

Factually we know the average person doesn't drown in a bath tub, though. A shot gun to the face will kill you just fine, regardless of how sober you are. One made a conscious effort to end their life (like Williams) one died because they were zoned out on drugs in a bathtub.

If you want to start a thread on why white drugged out celebs get a billion 2nd chances that aren't given to minorities, go for it. You could've just said RIP and kept it moving in here, though.

Sad shyt, no doubt.
But I can't help but feel cynical at the adulation and eulogizing in the media today, especially for someone with decades-long problems of drug use. People are only talking about his talent and making excuses for his drug addiction... Same shyt with Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Now, compare that to the overwhelmingly negative coverage of Whitney Houston's death... :stopitslime:

I won't say race isn't a factor but Whitney had turned into kind of joke though in her behavior and shyt hurting her image severely . Robin Williams was pretty low key with his fukkery in that he wasn't doing reality shows acting like a crazy person or even Amy winehouse who was more upfront with her fukkery

Both were a tragic loss of talent but to act like people weren't clowning Amy Winehouse is just :heh:

Some of the commenters are straight freaks. She claims to have known RW personally.
Thoughts on Robin Williams + Suicide:


ETA: oh! She is "a former escort."
Chick talks as if she is filmed the vid after snorting cocaine. SLOW DOWN! 0_e

But they ignoring Whitney's actions which made her a punchline she had several public displays of foolishness that embarassed herself . But really she was mourned when she died I don't remember people just laughing and joking about her death right when it happened

The "Death in 3" phenom is more close to each other so Phillip and Alien designer don't count they had their own cycle of 3 I'm sure. There will be 2 more coming soon. Actually one of Robin's co-stars just recently died. Charles Keatings from England. He was in this film with Robin, he died on August 9th:
