He was 63 years old.
According to a press release issued by the Marin County, CA Sheriff's Office that his body was found on Aug. 11 at approximately 11:55 a.m.
The Sheriff's Office Coroner Division suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia, but a comprehensive investigation must be completed before a final determination is made.
Robin had been battling severe depression and in July had check himself into rehab to maintain sobriety. He had been sober, but he wanted to maintain that sobriety, CNN reports.
In a statement to CNN, Williams' wife said: " This morning I lost my husband and my best friend while the world lost one if its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings."
While his publicist wouldn't confirm that it was a suicide, they did issue this statement. “Robin Williams passed away this morning. He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.” Nooooo!!!
I love his movies! Jumanji, Mrs Doubtfire, Birdcage.... I'll miss him. RIP. :(
