It's not often I am that bothered by celebs dying, but I am truly saddened by the passing of this great, great entertainer. I for one grew up watching many a film in which he starred, he gave so much to so many, and will be sorely missed.
My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

That's awful, that a man that made so many happy couldn't do the same for himself, a brilliant actor and a great man. God bless his soul. RIP

It's put a downer on my day
Apparently he had ongoing drugs problems and a great amount of anxiety / depression. Guess you don't really 'know' these personalities.

Hmm, thought this was a hoax as there was a Family guy episode starring him last night! Just an odd coincidence I guess.

RIP. Legend is overused but it applies to him imo. Depression is a horrible illness it never really leaves you. Not seen Good Morning Vietnam in years need to watch that again!

RIP.
I was also watching this last night and it made me question how much of a coincidence was that!
His films are brilliant, many of them watched a thousand times as a kid!

Very sad hearing this, so many great films and an excellent stand up comedian. Just heard that he hanged himself, what a waste of a truly awesome talent. RIP

Couldn't have put it better.
Anyone wanting a bit more insight into who he was, take a look at his stand-up comedy, really fantastic stuff and often made references to his personal problems. The Coco the gorilla story had friends and i laughing so hard we had to rewind it 5 or 6 times before we actually managed to hear the end of the joke.
