    Methinks the people who comment on his mental health are ignorant of the dreadful diagnosis he received. I choose to recall the clips demonstrating his warmth and kindness.

      He knew that he was going to descend into immobility and incoherence, and nothing science could do then or now (or for a long time to come) could stop that. So, he chose to go out while he was still himself, on his terms. So terribly sad, but I get it, I totally do

    Jesus, I was on an Alexei Sayle binge and this shows up. For some seconds I thought it was the singer. As much as I loathe his music I was shocked. Now the moment has passed I wish it had happened.

    I would never have had Alexei as a Williams fan. He didn't commit suicide because of depression. And surely some people are comedians because they're good at it and they have something to say about society, politics etc? It's not all narcissism, including not least for Alexei.

    never found williams funny personally. He was far too frenetic for me, you could see the mental illness right there. Much preferred him as a serious actor, thats where he shone for me. Each to their own tho, its very very sad how he left us.

    "A huge fan of "Mork & Mindy" ?????? Sayle disappoints......no wonder Williams was hugely depressed , knowing that his art was the kind of Jim Carey "laugh or I'll shoot".... The guy couldn't pass an interview without doing his "funny" party piece ...
    The guy radiated depression and unhappyness , which is no surprise ofcourse, behind every clown hides a manic depressive
