Family Guy Shows Robin Williams & Suicide Attempt Minutes Before Robin's Death Was Announced

Imagine guys! Just minutes before Robin Williams' death was announced, the BBC broadcast an episode of Family Guy cartoon, about Robin Williams and a failed suicide attempt ....World's greatest coincidence?

An extraordinary coincidence saw the ‘Viewer Mail #2’ episode shown on BBC Three between 11.25pm and 11.45pm on Monday, while Robin's death was announced by Reuters news agency at exactly 11.56pm.

The episode called 'Fatman and Robin' sees Peter Griffin, the father in the US comedy, gain the power to turn everyone in his fictional city of Quahog into Williams by touching them.

Peter, whose favourite comedian is Williams, accuses God of hating the actor and wishes that everyone was him. Peter is then struck by lightning and receives the King Midas-like powers.

But he is eventually overwhelmed by clones of Williams overtaking the town and tries to kill himself. Peter then decides to cut off his hands so that he can get rid of his special powers.

A BBC spokesman said yesterday that the broadcast of the episode was an ‘uncanny coincidence’, but confirmed that a scheduled repeat of it for Friday will now not be shown.

He said:

 ‘The episode ended just as the news broke about his death. This was a repeat that we have shown a couple of times before, so who could have planned that?

‘It was scheduled more than two weeks ago so it is just an uncanny coincidence. Some of our people who work here noticed that the death of Robin Williams was announced just as this episode ended.’

‘It was due to be repeated on Friday but we will not be showing it now.’

 Seth MacFarlane, 40, who voices Peter on family guy said on Twitter : 

‘The world just got a lot less funny. Robin Williams is a tragic loss.’ 

His post was retweeted more than 10,000 times.

Williams' first son Zak Williams, 31, said,

 'I lost my father and a best friend and the world got a little grayer.'

'I would ask those that loved him to remember him by being as gentle, kind, and generous as he would be,' 

His younger son Cody Williams, 23, simply said, 

'There are no words strong enough to describe the love and respect I have for my father. The world will never be the same without him. I will miss him and take him everywhere I go for the rest of my life, and will look forward, forever, to the moment when I get to see him again.'

His daughter, Zelda Williams, 25, said, 

 'Dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls I've ever known, and while there are few things I know for certain right now, one of them is that not just my world, but the entire world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence. We'll just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again. 

Rest on Robin
