Did Robin Williams REALLY commit suicide?

There is no easy answer to that question. Sorry, but the sooner you realize that the better you will be able to handle the NEXT suicide you hear about. This is not the movies where it is all explained in a short note.

Real life is not that simple.

We will never know for sure since he did not leave a note. Depression is believed to have been a factor, but he was also recently diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and that may have also influenced things.

Probably not. Catholics believe suicide when committed in full knowledge and deliberate consent is a complete turning away from God (a mortal sin) and will send a person to hell. There are 3 conditions of a mortal sin: grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent.

While suicide (or any kind of murder) is always a grave matter, people who commit suicide may not always have full knowledge of what they're doing. Drugs can definitely impair one's thinking, as can other things, such as depression, diseases, intense pain, or anguish. Therefore, suicide is not automatically treated as a mortal sin.

We are commanded by Christ not to judge others so we leave final judgment to God who alone knows each person's heart. The Code of Canon Law does not list suicide as a reason to deny a person a Catholic funeral or burial in a Catholic cemetery. http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__... http://www.holycrosscemeteries.com/faq/#... http://home.att.net/~faithleap/suicide.h... For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church on mortal sin, paragraphs 1857-1859, and on suicide, paragraphs 2282-2283.

With love in Christ.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
