Looks like it was suicide.
Very sad news. He will be sorely missed. Pretty shocked when I saw the news. I must say I did NOT see this coming.
RIP lil buddy…

I’m genuinely shocked and bummed.
If they want to go with a Viking funeral they can just toss a match at one of his arms and he’ll just burst into flame instantly.
Seriously, though . . . yeah, it’s sad stuff. I guess he had been suffering from some pretty severe depression. Very bleak. I feel bad for everyone. And with depression running in my own family, this stuff hits a little close.
I’m surprised that I’m surprised.
Long running battle with his demons, Alcohol, drugs and depression.
I wish I could’ve talked to him. I’d have told him “it’s not your fault.” 
He had previously stated that in “real life” the character he most identifies with was the lonely Sy, from One Hour Photo.
In light of what has now transpired - that kinda…makes an awful lot of sense.

I didn’t know this was all a long-running saga. I mean, I’m well aware of his coke usage in the 70’s or early 80’s but . . . . well, everyone did coke then. I thought that was all a thing of the past.
I didn’t know he had any problems recently.

I’ll bet even Sally Field did coke back then. Same goes for John Denver, Michael Landon and the cast of Eight Is Enough.

He did that role too fucking well.
RIP.
Sad. Even the love of all those millions of people wasn’t enough to save him. It’s a big slap in the face to anyone who thinks a couple of prozacs and a bit of therapy is all it takes to ‘get over it’.

Wow. I’d not read that.
But yeah, that was eerily too natural for him, I guess.
Very, very distressing news. Only recently watched World’s Greatest Dad - the film he did with his good buddy Bobcat Goldthwait. Highly recommended if you’ve yet to see it.
He was obviously suffering a great deal. Goes to show that money can’t buy happiness.
Having been through a nightmarish divorce myself, as Gunnar wrote before, this hits a little too close to home.
Sadly missed. I’m really gutted.
I worked with him once, and met him on two other occasions. He was extremely warm, generous and (of course) funny. The kind of person when they ask how you are, they actually care about your answer. (Rare in this town)
RIP Garp.
One Hour Photo or
The Fisher King
both are mindfucking takes
of delusion
so beautiful
Rest
…
The man did some incredible work(he also did a lot of Hollywood tripe)…but the good stuff he did was incredible and he was just a whirlwind of talent…I remember seeing him on Happy Days when I was really young…watched Mork and Mindy religiously…a lot of his movies and performances definitely had a profound effect on me…rip
The World According to Garp, great movie.
Also, Fisher King. My god what a film. Extremely touching.
Let’s not forget his cameo in Shakes the Clown as a mime…
Death to Smoochy was a fucking riot! Totally forgot about it…let’s not forget the great Vincent Schiavelli was in it too!
Hung himself, and they also found superficial cuts on his wrists. That really bums me out. He must have been at such a point of despair to resort to such measures. I feel horrible for him and his family.
Yeah, I was was totally shocked. I’ll miss him for sure.

Yeah,man…depression is brutal…it doesn’t care about money or fame…sad,indeed…

That’s some messed up shit. Must have been going through a personal hell.
Fuck divorce and fuck depression. This kind of shit is happening to way too many people. Is this the price we pay for our “Go Go Go” lifestyles and our attachment to “things”??
I think we’ve lost our way. I wonder what the suicide figures will 1914 would be? Compare them to 2014. I think you’d see something there.
Well, maybe 1914 is a bad example seeing as they had a world war and all. But you get my drift.
