It was a real shocker when Phil Hartman killed himself

He must've been really depressed

Kurt Cobain hit me really hard. I was also caught off guard by Chris Cornell’s suicide. I was saddened but not on the level of Cobain.

Bourdain, easily. He reached the pinnacle of success at a later stage in life and was in a position to really appreciate it.

I don't know all the details but my initial thought was that he accidentally killed himself trying to asphyxiate himself and the suicide bit was a cover.

None of those committed suicide. And Phil Hartman was murdered.

My SO woke me up to tell me about Anthony Bourdain and it shook me, won’t lie. Only celeb death that has done that to me.

Do all the posters saying Robin Williams realize he was diagnosed with Parkinson's not long before his suicide and also had undiagnosed dementia?

Yeah and it also was the first celebrity death that I felt some “aww frick man” type of emotion. Generally I don’t give a damn but not with his.



For real. I legit miss Robin Williams. He was a huge for us early 80s kids.

Yeah agree. He seemed to me to have the perfect frick It attitude of a survivor. Moreso being in such an incredible position of getting paid bank to travel the world.

Richard Cory:

Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.

And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.

So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.
