Devastated. I am deeply shocked and saddened. But you wanna know something that cements my hatred for the human race right now? The hashtag #RobinWilliams is "trending". People have sprung up "SHARE DIS IF U HAET DEPRESSION" macros with Robin Williams' face plastered on them.
It seems that the death of a depressed comedian is a goldmine for attention-seekers. It makes me want to strangle each and every one of you.

:( I was shocked when I found out

Same. More than I thought I would be. I think I am just sad for someone who hurt so badly that they had to hit self destruct.

Everyone is assuming it's a suicide because of his depression, right? Even though the coroner's report hasn't come back yet. And the news outlets are highlighting his previous drug and alcohol use, which I think is fucking reprehensible - the guy isn't even in the ground yet and already these news assholes are trying to lay blame.
Suicide hasn't been confirmed yet, as far as I know. I'll keep an open mind, and if he did take his own life, that was his choice to make. I feel ultra sad that he's gone, but if he did decide that it was time to end his life, that was his decision, and I won't feel negatively towards him or his memory if that was the case.
We have a really fucking strange view on life and death, the human race.

They reported asphyxiation here, so yeah, depression and asphyxiation leads us to think suicide. Or auto erotic asphyxiation.
I agree, though. It was his choice, and I have the same level of respect for him that I had before. Just sad to see him go so soon.

Well, you can asphyxiate by accident regardless of your mental condition. It happens.

Oh yeah, of course.

All of which is moot; coroner says he hanged himself with his belt.

Oh, and further to that - the news industry can absolutely kiss my ass.
