    Sad news and prayers go out to his family and friends. Always liked watching him on the big screen.

    That stinks. He was really funny. Anyone remember Mork & Mindy? Prayers for him and his family!

    That sucks. Looks like it was suicide?

    The article I saw on Facebook said possible suicide. I actually thought it was one of those jokes going around, but evidently he was battling depression. That's too bad.

    Such a shame. He was one of my favorite comedians. Hard to believe honestly.

    He had a history of depression and substance abuse. I grew up watching M&M and my favorite two movies of his was Bi-centennial Man and Good Will Hunting. Never a big fan of his personality as a person but liked some of his work.

    He was a funny guy. One of his inspirations was Jonathan Winters which I always enjoyed. We never know what demons that someone is battling. Very sad.

    This might sound callous but I am starting to get seriously immune to stuff like this...

    While he was certainly most widely known for his comedy....I actually enjoyed his dramatic movie roles more...he was a great actor

    Jumanji and Good Will Hunting. Great movies. Sad that he felt like suicide was his only option.

    Not to me it doesn't.

    While I'm not personally saddened by this... I am kinda bummed out we won't see any more of his works.

    Mrs. Doubtfure and Good Will Hunting are still two of my favorite movies of all time.

    And if you haven't seen it, YouTube his stand up skit about golf. Comedic Gold.

    It's too bad that anyone feels the need to resort to suicide. I enjoyed his work, but I don't value his life any more than anyone else's. It always blows my mind when someone has so much, yet they still cannot cope with life and resort to drugs or suicide. I feel more sorry for those that he left behind than the man himself.
