Both of them seem so nice people. Everybody say it's a pleasure to work with Zack and Deborah. I hope they figure out how to live with that terrible loss that is to see one of your kids die. And they need our love and understanding for this incredible sad moment they have to endure.

So damn sad, I woulda loved for him to see his project to completion, but I'm really happy he's doing what he needs to do for himself and his family, that's so much more important

Just heard the news, this is sad and goes beyond film. The DC family is strong, I hope everyone can find some peace in this. "I am Groot" --::We are grieving::--

"Autumn loved to write and help others– the most notable combination of these being the Write-A-Thon To End Homelessness For Mothers and Their Children charity. She created the charity in 2014, after her father had released the commercial blockbuster Man of Steel (2013), as she wanted to provide shelter for children that were less fortunate than her."

It's great to see our DC family is giving lots of love to Zack and his own family. Just further proof that he is a kind and incredible human being. Once again, rest in peace to his daughter, Autumn.

Wow, he kept working even after his daughter's death...Guy works so much that he tried to work even more, so he could deal with that tragic loss. Guy is a true professional, a legend, great person.

I respect him even more, now. I don't know if the guy will ever be the same again. I mean, nobody can be the same after losing a daughter. I hope he focus on his family, knowing he isn't alone because he has family, friends, fans and a ton of people that love him.

Thank you Zack, for your movies and your passion, its ok to stop everything, the mind needs to cope, the heart needs to heal with some family love, you certainly have the love of all your fans, which is much stronger than the ignorant hate you've been getting for so long.
Now you have an angel watching over you from above. Rest in peace Autumn.

In spite of his terrible loss and all the unfair criticism that has fallen all this time, Zack Snyder showed strength, professionalism and dedication to his work, my respect for him and my condolences also for his whole family.
It would be nice if they dedicated 'Justice League' to the memory of their daughter, would be a good gesture. Strength, Lord Snyder!

His daughter´s name was the working title for MoS and her name is also tattooed on his arm. He won´t be able to shake this one off that easily and her suicide isn´t his first family related set back in recent memory. His wife went though serious medical problems a few years ago and even the man himself has dyslexia.

Let´s hope that this tragedy, or Affleck´s alcoholism battle will help to remember that actual people work on these films, before spewing trash on news sites and comment sections.
It´s quite sad though that the yellow journalists and trolls pushed him to speak up.
