in the 70s/80s he was so coked up it's lucky he made it to the 90s. But I think he had pretty much kicked those demons. Depression is a bitch though.

not entirely

Last September, he opened up to parade about falling off the wagon after 20 years of sobriety while shooting The Big White in 2005.

"One day I walked into a store and saw a little bottle of Jack Daniel's. And then that voice—I call it the ‘lower power'—goes, ‘Hey. Just a taste. Just one,'" Williams recalled. "I drank it, and there was that brief moment of ‘Oh, I'm okay!' But it escalated so quickly.
"Within a week I was buying so many bottles I sounded like a wind chime walking down the street. I knew it was really bad one Thanksgiving when I was so drunk they had to take me upstairs."
So it was off to rehab in 2006 at the behest of his family.
"It was not an intervention so much as an ultimatum," Williams admitted. "Everyone kind of said, ‘You've got to do this.' And I went, ‘Yeah, you're right.'"

and recently checked into a rehab to help keep himself sober

I just realized the last movie I remember seeing him in was a movie about someone dying from asphyxiation (in the movie it wasn't a suicide though).

RIP.

I'm sorry to see his end.
But don't long mourn his passing.
Someone will mourn yours soon enough.

Carpe Motherfucking Diem.
