John Candy was a genius. Uncle Buck was incredible, as was many of the movies he was in, thanks to his comedic talent. Many comedians are sad, self deprecating tortured people, and that is part of the reason they resonate Comedic so effectively.

Even though they lived their lives, comedically, I still miss Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Joan Rivers, and Robin Williams. The two gone too soon are Robin Harris and Bernie Mac.

Suicide isn't something people like to talk about...I myself attempted suicide twice... I'm 56 now but in the early 90's I started getting distant and extremely withdrawn from my family and my managers position at a auto parts store..I sat on my bed while my wife was at her mom's and I took a whole bottle of anti depressants and 2 shots of heroin... the next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital..I was there against my will for 3 days because of that act and my wife actually held me there... people that hasn't been thru or around people with that disease can't understand how the mind works...I started seeing a therapist about my problems and seen her for about a year... needless to say the mind is so complex and 5 years after seeing her I stuck a .38 snub nose to my left temple and pulled the trigger....I immediately blacked out and hit the ground... my sister heard the gunshot from her house and as it's told she found me in my garage laying slumped over a tire well she called a ambulance and I was in a coma for 30 days and out of all the doctors and specialist they were amazed that I survived the bullet shot..I was held again against my will and was forced to see a couple different mental doctors... after adjusting meds for me after I healed to 70% the meds seemed to help so much.. since then I haven't had that impulse to do it again...I also thank God for his in1tervention because truth be told HE'S the one who has saved me both times...I have the bullet in my right shoulder as a reminder... in my opinion people with suicide overwhelmingly dismiss making a phone call and most won't confide in family....I do pray for those that are in hiding and refuse to seek help...I know it's a cliche saying God is there for you and all you have to do is ask but it's the truth... people freak out when I tell my story and all I went through and when I talk in front of people I hope what I say can help people in that frame of mind... Good intervened in my life and showed me that people do care as he does but we have to be willing to open our hearts out to him.. after that last attempt back then I've never had a notion whatsoever to harm myself and I never willl be...I may be by myself today but I'm never alone because God is always with me....

Although many sources state that Freddie Prinze committed suicide, his family brought suit and had the cause of death changed to "Accidental" because of his quirk of playing around with pistols and "Russian Roulette." I'm fussy on the details, and Wikipedia is its usual unhelpful self, so I ask, "Does anyone know exactly how Freddie was killed while playing with a handgun which, I assume, was not supposed to be loaded?" I vaguely recall there was talk of this at the time of the lawsuit, likening it to Brandon Lee's death. Thanks---and stay safe, everyone.
