Robin Williams - Suicide ?

On August 11, 2014, at approximately 11:55 a.m, Marin County Communications received a 9-1-1 telephone call reporting a male adult had been located unconscious and not breathing inside his residence in unincorporated Tiburon, CA. The Sheriff’s Office, as well as the Tiburon Fire Department and Southern Marin Fire Protection District were dispatched to the incident with emergency personnel arriving on scene at 12:00 pm. The male subject, pronounced deceased at 12:02 pm has been identified as Robin McLaurin Williams, a 63-year-old resident of unincorporated Tiburon, CA.
An investigation into the cause, manner, and circumstances of the death is currently underway by the Investigations and Coroner Division s of the Sheriff’s Office. Preliminary information developed during the investigation indicates Mr. Williams was last seen alive at his residence, where he resides with his wife, at approximately 10:00 pm on August 10, 2014. Mr. Williams was located this morning shortly before the 9-1-1 call was placed to Marin County Communications. At this time, 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. A forensic examination is currently scheduled for August 12, 2014 with subsequent toxicology testing to be conducted.
Williams' publicist Mara Buxbaum told The Hollywood Reporter: “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.”
His wife, Susan Schneider, said: "This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. 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.”
Williams, a four-time Oscar nominee, won a supporting actor Oscar for Good Will Hunting. He most recently starred in CBS' comedy The Crazy Ones, which lasted only one season.
He recently checked into rehab in an effort to maintain his sobriety.

Mork.

I saw his concert in New York many years ago.

A really clever comedian who never had to resort to shouting, swearing or sexual innuendo.

R.I.P.

Really?

He was very funny though. RIP

Twitter goes hysterical as mediocre celebs fight to say  the right thing while Williams death so quickly becomes yesterdays chip paper.7 days from now he wont get a mention but Dead Poets will be on ITV3

Very sad loss.

He surely was a multi-millionaire!

miserable cnt

yes, we know. Stop panicking crags.

Dobbo is right, though.

about the chip paper, maybe.

Crackin' dialogue - Beckett-like

Ok, darlings --

Can we have Dobbo saying "For a revered comedian he had one hell of a record." Then Kenny says, "As a genuine actor."

Yeah? Then Eternaloptimist says "Not many can straddle both genres as well as he did."

Then I'll say, "Straddle?" And Dobbo can go, "What?" and Kenny says, "He said straddle."

Did he say paddle? Not many can paddle both genres although they may have prospered in canoes.

Can you re-write that? Dobbo's the best frowner on here.
