The comedian and actor has died tonight, suspected suicide due to Asphyxia. He has been suffering from depression for a while as well as issues with alcohol and other substances and it seems he might have taken his own life.
No further details are out and his family has asked for privacy.
RIP to a great entertainer
yeah this is really sad.
I'm watching World's Greatest Dad right now and it is both exactly what I want to watch right now and the worst thing I could possibly be watching. It's practically referencing the events of today, but it's one of the only movies of his I haven't seen on Netflix.
He was damn great. May he RIP.
Real sad. He made a lot of good movies and television but I think my favorite was always the movie Jack he did in 1996. I was a kid at the time and when my dad would take me to the rental store I'd often rent Jack and it'd make me laugh and cry.
Robin has been a favourite of mine since Mork and Mindy back in the 70's. I'm still reeling right now I don't really want to believe it.
Sad day. I grew up with Robin and loved the guy! He was a good comedian and a good person.
Damn shame. I'm sad.
Just heard about this a few minutes ago, what a shame. I'm not much into the whole Hollywood scene, but he's one of those faces I'll miss seeing in new films. The fact that he died by his own hand makes it sting that much worse. RIP.
Man, this was very unexpected 
RIP Robin.
I grew up with him too. Feels like a close relative just died.
Despite my vacation, I still heard of this on my twitter feet 3 hrs after the news broke. I never dawned on me that he would do such a thing. Still trying to come to terms wiht it, even with the additional infor and the vile attacks against his daughter Zelda on SN.
