This is so shocking.
Comedian Robin Williams died Monday morning in his residence in Tiburon, California, in an apparent suicide.
The Marin County Sheriff’s 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, according to a press release.
Williams, 63, was found in the home he shared with his wife shortly before noon (3 p.m. ET), the Sheriff’s Office said. He had last been seen alive on Sunday at 10 p.m., according to a Sheriff’s Office press release.
“This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings,” his wife, Susan Schneider, said in a statement. “I am utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin’s family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin’s death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.”
Robin’s publicist said he had been battling “severe depression of late.”
SMH. You just never know what people are going through. Fame and fortune are never substitutes for happiness.
