ROBIN Williams is dead.
The 63-year-old actor’s body has been found in a possible suicide.
Police have confirmed that they found Williams’ body in his home around midday Monday (California time). He was pronounced dead at 12.02pm. He was last seen alive the evening before and it is believed his wife of three years, Susan Schneider, was in the house at the time.
She has released the following statement.
“This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. 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.”
While his publicist wouldn’t confirm that it was a suicide, they did issue this statement.
“Robin Williams passed away this morning. He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”
Williams, who won an Oscar for his supporting role in Good Will Hunting and had recently signed on to reprise his iconic role as Mrs. Doubtfire in a sequel.
He was last seen opposite Annette Bening in the indie film The Face of Love.
Williams has been married three times and has three children to two different mothers.
His first marriage was to Valerie Velardi, whom he married in 1978. They have one child, Zachary Pym, who was born in 1983. The pair divorced in 1988.
In 1989 he married his son’s nanny Marsha Garces, who was already pregnant with his daughter Zelda Rae. Their son Cody Alan, was born two years later in 1991. They divorced in 2008.
Williams married his current wife, graphic designer Susan Schneider in October 2011.
