Robbin Williams case was a little different. He was losing brain functions similar to dementia and apparently he didn't want to live in a diminished state. Bordain kinda surprised me. You think he would be the last person to kill himself since he travels the world, meets interesting people, and experiences new things.
To fill in the picture a little, his relationship was falling apart and in a very public way.
I forget which of Bordain's books I read, but it didn't surprise me very much having read one. He seemed like a person trying to run away from it at all times.
Very sad, loved the show(s) and book. I should go read more.
