tragic death of Robin Williams. (20)
The man who Robin Williams portrayed Adrian Cronauer seeks to dispel myths about Vietnam vets
Adrian Cronauer likes to get straight right away is that he is not Robin Williams, who portrayed Cronauer in an Oscar-nominated performance as the Vietnam War disc jockey in the film "Good Morning, Vietnam." Cronauer, a former U.S. Air Force sergeant, was the real-life voice on Armed Forces Radio in Saigon who inspired soldiers and co-wrote the original story for the movie. "There`s the mythical image of the Vietnam veteran as a slovenly, ne`er-do-well, alcoholic, drug-abuser ... when really Vietnam veterans are the backbone of our society."
Robin Williams was the guy who ran out into the middle of the road every morning

JudyST: I would say that he was facing a third divorce, and the first two were so costly I don't think he could face another.
He never served in Vietnam, where did you dream that up?

Not sure what what all this has to do with depression that results in suicide.
Though Williams had one of Hollywood’s most enduring careers, divorce — from first wife Valerie Velardi in 1988, and from second wife, Marsha Garces in 2008 — had gutted his bank account.
“Divorce is expensive,” he recently said. “I used to joke they were going to call it ‘all the money’, but they changed it to ‘alimony’. It’s ripping your heart out through your wallet.”
With financial pressures weighing, the insider said that the cancellation of The Crazy Ones in May sent him spiraling.

simple; divorce can make you depressed.Susan Schneider, Robin Williams’ wife, woke up the morning of August 11, got dressed, did her hair and make-up, and headed out on errands around 10:30 AM, all while her husband, legendary actor Robin Williams, was hanging from his belt after committing suicide sometime after 10:30 PM the night before. Williams’ body was discovered shortly after by his assistant who apparently was concerned when he did not answer the door when she came. While Schneider apparently claimed to have believed her husband was sleeping when she left on errands, his assistant must have felt it was strange for him to still be asleep or she would not have become so concerned about him not answering the door. Given his current state of depression, she didn’t take a chance on leaving without knowing he was okay.
Not only does the scenario make very clear that Robin and Susan were having marital issues, but it also paints her as a very cold woman. Not only did she not feel a need to say or kiss her husband goodbye, she didn’t have the forethought to even check on him before leaving, knowing of his fragile mental state. I mean, the two lived in the same house. Most people would not only check on their spouse before leaving someone with severe depression alone, they would check on a friend, a roommate, etc.
So had the couple talked divorce recently? Perhaps the marital strife only added to the actor’s anxiety as he seemed to be concerned about finances as of late. His show The Crazy Ones was recently cancelled, and Williams sold his sprawling Napa estate recently as well. Given that he has made it well-known that he’s lost a fortune in past divorces, was he possibly driven over the edge at the thought of another divorce, and another hefty paycheck he’d have to come up with, being forced to take roles he did not want, and go on the road doing stand-up again.
Robin must not have liked the direction his life was going in, whatever that was. But something caused him enough pain to end his life, rather than seek his wife’s help as she apparently lay nearby in another bedroom while he apparently struggled to slit his wrists, later ending his life by hanging himself. Did he feel he couldn’t ask for her help? Based on reports of when his body was found and the level of rigor mortis that had set in, he likely had been dead for several hours before he was found. So, in that approximate 12-13 hour time frame between Susan going to bed and his body being found, it would seem like his death occurred sometime late Sunday night. Given Susan saw him at 10:30, reportedly, before heading off to bed, what could his mental state have been like if she did not pick up on any indications that within an hour or so he was at the point of suicide?

Well, Judy, I don't know what "insightful" commentator wrote that drivel and I can't be bothered googling it.
This line is a doozy:
"Robin must not have liked the direction his life was going in, whatever that was. But something caused him enough pain to end his life"
Makes it sound cheap and trivial. Hmm I should've turned left back there, not right - oh well that's it, I'm gonna knock myself off.
And the way the writer portrays his wife as cold and uncaring, just because she didn't check on him.
The whole piece is written on assumptions and guesswork, cobbled together with "NFI". (look that up.)
Your original premise was that, "divorce can make you depressed."
Of course, I don't think anyone would disagree with you there. I guess in your original post you made it sound like the thought of parting with yet more money was just too much for him to bear. And that was just an insensitive assumption.

Thanks for being bothered to address this Obs
It would indeed be a method of population control if everyone who was depressed about divorce decided to depart this mortal coil at their own hand.

he 63-year-old was found dead in his California home on Monday, US time. The county sheriff’s office said in a statement that it "suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia".
Robin served in Saigon same time as myself but perhaps his jokes and humor didn't cover up all of whatever was going on in his head
none the less must say i enjoyed his first mover very much, had lot of VN war reality berried in it
