Lt. Boyd said Williams was found in his bedroom “clothed, in a seated position, unresponsive with a belt secured around his neck.”

There were also several cuts on his left wrist and a pocket knife with a dried red substance was found in the vicinity, he stated.

The Academy-Award winner was 63.

“The work of the coroner’s office is not complete at this time,” Lt. Boyd stressed. He said a final cause of death would be released in several weeks after toxicology tests are completed.

“The forensic examination conducted by Dr. Joseph Cohen did not [indicate]…that Mr. Williams had been in a struggle prior to him being diseased,” he added.

Being a Liberal didn’t help. Then tend to have a very bleak outlook on life, even without clinical depression.

Even if it does, they are still capable of making rational decisions if needed. They don’t have to kill themselves. They can take another option. They can go to someone and say “I want to kill myself” and get help.
_______________

Psychosis is the definition of not-rational.

Bipolars become at best people with poor judgment and at worst psychotic with auditory and visual hallucinations.

Liberals tend to worship the Victim label and they tend to carry guilt about the world’s situation as if it is their fault (it makes them feel significant). They also are tremendous hypocrites (”Judgmental people are the worst sort of people”). Wealthy liberals will condemn wealthy people. They see so much Hate in the world because they are so guilty of it.

I’ve never met a liberal who counted their blessings.

True about the bipolar disorder. My mother lives across the street from one. Her son had a mental problem and shot himself about two years ago. Her husband is a doctor. For some reason the boy would come and sit with my 90 year old mother and talk for hours.

BiPolar is usually ups and downs, hence the name Bipolar. Voices and hallucinations are usually associated with other mental issues. They tend to go hand in hand though.
Every Bipolar person I know loves the highs and spends the lows trying to get back on the highs. They also LOVE conspiracies. They either have a sure-fire get-rich plan that can’t fail or everyone is holding them back.
We have a few local politicians in town that are Bipolar and they have been a jaw-dropping mess to watch.

Those who hang themselves do it in a simple way. Sometimes just leaning forward with something wrapped around their neck. There isn’t much of a struggle.

Bipolar is treatable.

That’s dangerous thinking. You’re saved or you’re not. The bible is clear on how you’re saved. It doesn’t matter how much your life sucked or did not suck on earth.

Either he knew Jesus as his own personal savior or didn’t. Given the way he checked out... well you can finish that thought.

this is my living. I assure you, landing bipolars from their psychosis is an art and science.

Some people do not go as high and low. But the often do. And often the public does not know when they get very sick.

Oh so you have practiced this have you?... Yeah right. The police can rule it suicide all day long, but I don’t believe it now that the facts are out.

Cancer is a disease. Depression is a mental disorder. Allowing God to come into your life is the answer to all mental disorders.

I’m the same way, I’d trade places with any of my kids too so they could avoid pain and sickness. As we speak my youngest (4) is in the hospital with my wife because something has been going on with her knee for over a week and she’s been in a great deal of pain. I’d way rather that was me.

Yet, you don’t know. I wish I had a dime for every Christian who later claimed to have become “really Saved”.

When they found him, he had rigor mortis.

He had been dead for some time.

"NO, it is more likely he didn’t commit suicide, and if you had watched the police report you may have realized that. The facts do not support it in my opinion."

No, you’re right, I don’t know.. I can only be 90% sure.

You will know them by their fruits.
