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.

The late actor's wife also released a statement expressing how "utterly heartbroken" his death has left her.

"This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings," she stated. "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 nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor three times, and took home an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in 1997’s Good Will Hunting.

Last month he was reported as entering into a Minnesota rehab facility to “focus on his continue commitment” to sobriety, his rep told the Daily News.

Williams had been open about his struggles with addiction after maintaining sobriety for 20 years.

He had a relapse during his 2005 filming of “The Big White” and entered a rehab a year later but was said to have maintained sobriety ever since.

Just saw w\that, SAD INDEED. A Great Actor.  Gone too soon.. RIP brother.

Looks like he had gone broke

R.I.P

The best movie I like was MRS Doubtfire 

My favorite Robin Williams movie would be Patch Adams

good morning VIETNAM 

Another good movie was Moscow on the Hudson where he played a Soviet saxophone player who defected to the United States.  I think it is a good movie. It showed a person who lived in a society that provided him with basic food, basic housing and a job  then he finds himself in a capitalist society where he has to compete for survival. 

"nanu - nanu"....Mork.

RIP.

first time I ever saw him was in Mork & Mindy.

he was hilarious.

Thank you for making us laugh and cry......I am sure this legacy will continue on to the next generation.

Great individual....RIP

We never know the darkness, sadness, or turmoil others have inside.

Robin Williams brought so much laughter into so many lives.

Here's a beautiful blog tribute.
