Robin Williams, Actor and Comedian, Dies at 63

[Fenix]

Robin Williams, who died Monday at age 63, was celebrated in Hollywood for his zany comic persona and more subtle dramatic performances.
Mr. Williams was found dead at his home in Tiburon, Calif., just north of San Francisco, according to the Marin County Sheriff's Office on Monday.
The apparent cause of death was suicide by asphyxiation, although an investigation is continuing.

Emergency personnel found Mr. Williams inside the home he shared with his wife, Susan Schneider, after a 911 call reported a man unconscious and not breathing. The sheriff's office said Mr. Williams was last seen alive at 10 p.m. on Sunday.

Mr. Williams's high energy at times masked a personal struggle with alcohol and drug addiction, and a representative for the actor said Monday that "he has been battling severe depression of late."

Most remember him from Dead Poet Society and Good will Hunting...
Also he was a very good stand-up comedian...

Sad. Very sad.
I remember him most from the HBO commercials which was shown during the ad breaks.

sad. RIP sire. He was much more than a comic actor.

I'm normally indifferent to celebrity deaths, but this hurts, I became a fan the minute i saw an episode of "Mork & Mindy" on star plus (right before "happy days"). That Louie episode is going to be damn near unwatchable now.

He was an entertainer! Sad to hear about him pass away. May he RIP.

Terrible news!
Mork and Mindy just befor Happy Days introduced him to many of us, and later his body of work was just too good to have stayed away from anybody. An iconic entertainer.

Rest in Peace RW. Your contributions cannot be forgotten.

Saddest death I've encountered after Jobs passed away. It's like a part of you died.

Really sad to hear this. Unlike many of his fans, I think his best work was probably Insomnia.

Just deepens my belief that money ain't everything, satisfaction is the key to real success.
