This is so sad.
The loss of a loved one can be very painful and difficult to accept, but death by suicide is so difficult to bear.
Robin Williams dead at 63 in suspected suicide
Oscar-winning actor and comedian Robin Williams was found dead in his northern California home in a suspected suicide Monday. He was 63.
The Marin County Sheriff's Department said in a statement that Williams was found unconscious and not breathing in his home around noon. The statement said the investigation into Williams' death is ongoing, but the coroner "suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia."
A representative for Williams said in a statement the actor had been battling "severe depression of late."
"This is a tragic and sudden loss," Mara Buxbaum said. "The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”
Williams' wife Susan Schneider said in a statement she is devastated and asked for privacy.
“This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings," she said. "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.”
Prayers for the family, friends, and colleagues of Robin Williams.
