that's the weirdest thing. . . today i saw some one who reminded me of him, and i got to wondering if they had ever found anything out about him. . .so sad. . .

Have been waiting for the news since he disappeared ...

So sad. He was quite a talent. Besides his films, saw him performing monologues live, too, and it was wonderful ...

Truly such a loss. He was a brilliant, tormented man.

I grieve for his wife and children.....

This news has me so depressed. He had made such great strides at overcoming his depression. I think there was real hope that he would survive--until the accident in Ireland. I'm so sad for his wife and children.

i had this weird thought when I heard the news.

I just had this feeling that when he hit the water, he changed his mind.

I have no idea why I felt that but I did.

As always, I'm so sad by someone's suicide especially when children are involved. this is a terrible for the kids.

[Marlena]

I'd been waiting to hear, and was hoping it wouldn't come to this....

[Quirky]

I saw him do his Swimming to Cambodia monologue in college and have always had a soft spot for him. The NYT did a big piece two months ago when he disappeared....I knew there wasn't much hope but I was still saddened when I heard the news yesterday.

His poor kids. I hope they can break out of the cycle of depression and suicide.

I've been following this story as well. It is very sad...I saw one of his latest monologues called "Morning, Noon & Night" and it was about life with kids. It was so funny and tender and beautiful in the end. I had thought that he really found peace with family life. To think that those same kids are left without their father...so sad.
