Oscar-winning actor/comedian, Robin Williams has committed suicide by hanging himself. He was found unconscious and not breathing at his home in Tiburon, in Northern California on August 11 and the coroner suspects that Robin committed suicide by asphyxiation.
Robin struggled with cocaine and alcohol abuse in the early '80s but was sober for 20 years, with the exception of a brief stint in rehab in 2006. He went back to rehab last month to focus on his sobriety but recently became severely depressed. He was last seen alive at his house at 10 PM Sunday night
Robin's last tweet was on July 31, to wish his daughter Zelda Rae happy 25th birthday. He posted an Instagram pic of himself holding her as a child. Zelda did not respond.
Yesterday, Robin's wife, Susan Schneider, said "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."
Last night, Zelda tweeted a quote from French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery:
May his soul rest in peace, amen.
