One of the funniest men alive is sadly no longer with us.
Legendary funnyman Robin Williams was found dead in his home in Tiburon, Calif. on Monday. The cause of death is believed to be suicide via asphyxiation, reported the Tiburon coroner’s office.
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.”
Williams was battling depression and drug abuse. He was 63.
