This is very sad news to read. I'm truly very upset about this, though can't really say I'm shocked when it comes right down to it.

Just watched One Hour Photo with my mom the other day...

And I remember the Happy Days episode where he made his unforgettable face-sitting debut as Mork from Ork, many moons ago.


MeTV aired that episode tonight. I re-watched the entire episode. GREAT comedy. :-)

I'd like to see that one, again. He was something else. :~)

So so sad :( So many really happy hours spent laughing with my children whilst we watched him in so many things... don't want to believe that someone who generated so many smiles for us all, died feeling he had nothing to smile about at the end :( awful.

RIP Robin... you will be greatly missed :(

I am absolutely devastated at the loss of such a wonderful man, actor, and comedian.
He touched so many lives, as well as mine.

I am very very sad right now.
Rest in peace, my friend Robin.

Guy at the Immigration Bureau, telling Mindy: "He's an alien; he doesn't have any identification; we need to ask him a few questions:

Guy at Imm Bureau: "How did you get here?" Mork - "Flying Egg."

Guy at Imm Bureau: "I always flew by flying bacon, myself". Mork - "Oh - the express, the Sizzler!"

Priceless! Love it!

It was the first thing I heard on the radio this morning. Alcohol and depression, not a good combination:(( I simply loved him in Mrs. Doubtfire... You'll be missed Mr. Williams. RIP

Mork on Happy Days


That was the second time Mork visited the 50's. The MeTV episode last night was the first time he visited the 50's.

Mork visits the 50's for the first time.

It looks like he suffered from Asphyxia and that was one of the main reasons for his suicide, poor man:(

We may use that term differently on this side of the pond. To me it implies breathing in carbon monoxide until gone.

News just coming through on the TV here states is that he used his belt to strangle hang himself.

[edit] apparently he also tried to slash his wrists with a pocketknife.

Yup:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asphyxia

Must've been such a pain for him :( He strangled himself with his belt?? Taking poison or an overdose is easy, but this must take 'courage', don't know how to call it otherwise, dispair? But still, it needs courage to do such thing...
