It seems that the stars have absolutely everything for happiness: fame, wealth, fans. However, creative people who are constantly under scrutiny from viewers and the press are too often depressed. They are dissatisfied with themselves, lose their meaning in life, feel lonely in the crowd. And they make a fatal decision: to commit suicide.

Robin Williams

He was 63 years old when Robin Williams was found unconscious in his own house, a belt was tightened around his neck with a door.

Ekaterina Savinova

The disease was the main reason for the suicide of the Soviet actress Yekaterina Savinova, who brilliantly played the role of Frosya Burlakova in the film Come Tomorrow. Before filming, the actress drank milk contaminated with brucellosis, and as a result of an untimely diagnosis, the disease gave a complication to the brain. For several years she unsuccessfully fought the disease, spending 2-4 months in clinics annually. Realizing that she was becoming a burden for her loved ones, Ekaterina Savinova went to her sister in Novosibirsk, where she took her own life by throwing herself under the train.

Kurt Cobain

The suicide of the vocalist and bass player of the Nirvana group shocked all fans of his work. Shortly before the tragedy, the musician underwent drug addiction treatment.
