It is a terrible tragedy when emotional dysfunction is a contributor to someone's death
Natalie
NorsePixie7160, many people suffer from bipolar. Not just comedians. Mental illness doe not discriminate.

Gary, His emotional distance, did. Not help their situation. This does not mean he deserved to be murdered. Ij mean they both contributed to a very dysfunctional marriage. My heart goes out to their children.
Zanpar
NorsePixie7160, so true plus most bipolars have addiction issues its refered to dual diagnosis
Gary
He was a funny guy shame he married a nutcase.
pockett

My God I thought he killed himself! I didn't realize I was so misinformed! Loved his comedy.
s4ya1
He was also known to voice Troy McClure from The Simpsons
deosIAM
Loved him in Talk Radio.
Liz
Player #11503902, I am sure there was dysfunction. However, stating there was fault by the murder victim is just wrong. No one deserves to have their life taken.

Foxy_Roxy_1956, According to the National Institutes of Health, highly intelligent people DO NOT have more mental illness. In fact, it protects against anxiety & PTSD.
Lionessa
The worst thing is that the children were in the house, both when she shot Phil, and when she came back later and shot herself. Selfish and cruel.
Linda
Player #3325307, yes, and the aftermath in fallout is left to the families to deal with. 😢

Victoria, He actually did a skit where he said he was afraid his wife would catch him cheating and kill him.
Ric
A horrible horrible loss.I still get upset when I see his work. What a talented human taken to soon. Phil Hartman,Chris Farely,John Belushi,Gilda Radnor. That's a party I would not miss.
Victoria
Documentaries stated she was full of cocaine, bad drugs. So sad, he wanted a divorce and she didn’t, he supported her habits,
Klaus
Of course the thing took the cowards way out! She should have been stuck in a jail cell then executed! Poor man and poor kids! (he also did several voices of The Simpsons when they were good)
Grandma Jodi
great in Jingle All the Way, 1. One of my favorite Christmas movies.

Natalie, ah, but it does discriminate. The highly intelligent are more likely to suffer from mental illness than others.
hungry wolf
because so often we hide behind comedy. never wanting anyone to see the real you. it's a job, going to work everyday, zipping up a suit. you must never let anyone know you're dieing inside.

Aren't many spouses, partners, & countless labels of the like, at least upon occasion deemed as "crazy" at some point in the midst of many a relationship? Personally, I answer yes to this question.
