WTF

Another part of our childhood gone, one of the best ones. Mork from Ork has left our sphere.

Believed to be suicide as well, really sad.

I'm out of words...

yeah it's the suicide part that really bothers me

while not totally shocking i just never knew he felt this dark

sad stuff and a bit hard to grasp

The number of comedians who suffer with depression really is astonishing.

it's the "tragic clown" scenario

my 14 year old daughter summed it up pretty well in a text on the day he died, "Daddy, why are all the cool people dying?"

having a mork & mindy marathon here later

RIP

Another entertainer I grew up watching recently gone, still young too. Not since Michael Jackson's death did I almost froze after hearing. Real icons of our generation, even after all their success it was still hard for them to know if they really did succeed or not, r.i.p.

Not sure what to think of this, he was a great actor and all... but as Mr. Mackey below points out:

surely doesn't seem to be drug related unless you want to argue that a lifetime of drugs takes it's toll on you mentally

or perhaps the drug he was on for his early parkinsons symptoms


by all accounts - dude struggled with anxiety and depression his whole life
i wish he could have been helped
