Robin Williams dead at 63
Actor and comedian Robin Williams has been found dead in his California home in a suspected suicide, according to a sheriff’s press release. The 63-year-old actor was found unconscious around 12 p.m. inside his unincorporated residence in Tiburon, according to a report by the Marin County Sheriff’s Office. “Robin Williams passed away this morning. He has been battling severe depression of late," his publicist said in a statement. "This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”
An investigation into his cause of death is underway while the coroner suspects that it was a suicide caused by asphyxiation. A forensic examination is scheduled for Tuesday.

A little less laughter in the world with his passing. He sure put a smile on a lot of us while he was here.
Rest easy Mork.

Robin Williams at Camp Arifjon.

He was the first Hollywood type to come overseas in the GWOT. He paid his own way into AFG before the USO was there.
Huge supporter of the troops.

Pretty sore loss. He would literally make my sides hurt from laughter, and his support of the troops was sincere, not just a Hollywood talking head jumping on board because it's a fad now.

What a lose! Sure seems like mental illness and sheer genius follow each other. RIP and prayers to his family.

I hate it. Can't judge him for it, no idea where his head was at, but I hate he did it. Huge loss.
