Renowned actor Robin Williams, known for his versatile roles in films like “The Birdcage,” “Jumanji,” and “Mrs. Doubtfire,” tragically took his own life by hanging himself with a belt in his bedroom.
The news of his death shocked fans worldwide as details of the incident emerged.
Marin County sheriff's Lt. Keith Boyd revealed that Williams was found by his personal assistant in a seated position shortly before noon on Monday.
The 63-year-old actor had reportedly attempted to slash his wrist before resorting to hanging himself.
Authorities disclosed that Williams had a pocket knife near him and had sustained cuts to his wrist, which were likely self-inflicted.
His wife had left their home assuming he was still asleep, only for the personal assistant to make the grim discovery when Williams failed to respond to knocks on his bedroom door.
While the official cause of death is pending autopsy results, investigators strongly suspect suicide by asphyxiation.
He had recently sought help through a rehabilitation program.
Boyd refrained from confirming if Williams left a suicide note and mentioned that toxicology screening results would take weeks to be available.
The beloved actor's sudden passing has left a void in the entertainment industry, with tributes pouring in from colleagues and fans alike.
In a poignant gesture, the iconic Waldo Tunnel in the Bay Area will soon bear Robin Williams' name, commemorating his lasting impact on the world of entertainment.
As the public mourns the loss of a comedic genius, his legacy lives on through his timeless performances and the joy he brought to countless audiences.
