Dick Cavett was interviewed on NPR about this:
CAVETT: Yeah, that's a good observation because the world is full of cases of, he was laughing in the restaurant with friends the night before. Another thing I'm sure that people all over the place are saying - how could he do this to his children and his wife? Easy - they don't mean anything to you. You can't feel anything. It sounds awful to say, but it's one of the worst things about it.
SIEGEL: Obviously we were all surprised by this news. After it sunk in -after you'd - you know, you'd absorbed the fact of his death, did it - did the pieces come together for you? Did it make sense in terms of depression and suicide and Robin Williams?
CAVETT: I would always have thought that Robin was a prime candidate for it, and I don't know exactly why I say that because he was never seemingly depressed when I was around him. We would laugh on that show. You couldn't throw anything at him that he couldn't throw back funny. And you almost make the mistake of thinking, how can you be a great musician or a great comedian or a great actor and want to die? He did.
SIEGEL: Dick Cavett, thanks for talking with us about the very sad news of the death by apparent suicide of Robin Williams.
CAVETT: Hard to believe - thank you.
