An investigation into the cause of death is still underway, though the cause of death is believed to be suicide via asphyxiation. The news was confirmed by the actors Publicist Mara Buxbaum. Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Buxbaum said “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.”

Williams was a comedic actor that I personally grew up with and will miss greatly. Some of my favorite works for him included Mrs. Doubtfire and Mork and Mindy.

Williams Wife added “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.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Williams family.
