Robin Williams was found dead in his home yesterday, and the coroner’s preliminary cause of death is listed as suicide by asphyxiation.
What a waste, and what a loss, but like many of the best and brightest comedians of the last half century – Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Jonathan Winters – Williams suffered from inner demons that led to self-destructive behavior and an early death.
It’s been said that Comedy isn’t pretty, and sometimes it seems that a true gift of humor can be terminal.
