Robin Williams dead at the age of 63, possible suicide

A fan of Williams back to Mork & Mindy, I think my favorite movie was Dead Poets Society with Good Will Hunting a close second.

UPDATED 8/12/2014: Police confirm Robin Williams’ death appears to be a suicide. It appears he used a belt to hang himself, superficial cuts were also found on his wrist, suggesting he attempted to slash his wrists first. 

Comedian and actor Robin Williams is reportedly dead and according to published reports, possibly a suicide.

I have heard that comedy is often rooted in pain. It is sad to think that a man who gave us so many laughs could not find enough laughter for himself. As a fan, my sympathies to his family, co-workers and friends over the years.

Loved his comedy but my favorite movie was Dead Poets Society with Good Will Hunting a close second. What movie or show did you enjoy the most over the years of Robin Williams career?
