Thread:Comments:Actor and comic Robin Williams found dead at 63/Phi Ochs to Robin Williams

'After years of prolific writing in the 1960s, Ochs's mental stability declined in the 1970s. He eventually succumbed to a number of problems including bipolar disorder and alcoholism, and took his own life [by hanging] in 1976." Robin William's death by suicide is eerily similar to Phil Ochs' suicide. Both troubled by bipolar disorder/clinical depression and alcoholism/drug use. Och's creativity was in music, whereas William's was in acting/comedy.
