Late Robin Williams' body was cremated one day after his death and his ashes were scattered in San Francisco Bay.
According to the official death certificate issued by the State of California on August 20, Robin died on August 11, the cremation took place on August 12 and cause of death is “pending investigation.”
The coroner is still waiting for the results of toxicology tests to determine if Williams had any chemicals in his system when he died and the results will be available in a few weeks.
Robin Williams loved video games so much that he even named his daughter Zelda after a princess character in a video game. Now his fans have launched an online petition to have him immortalized by naming a character in the game "Legend of Zelda" after him.
The petition on change.org has already been signed by over 77,000 people. It reads: "He won't get to play it, but he'll live on forever in a universe he always loved." Robin and his daughter recently appeared in a series of adverts promoting Legend Of Zelda.
On Thursday, Robin Williams' widow, #SusanSchneider revealed in a statement that the beloved actor was battling the early stages of Parkinson's disease when he took his life and that he wasn't ready to share the news with the world. She also said that his "sobriety was intact" at the time of his death.
After hearing the news, actor Michael J. Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 1991, but kept it secret from the public until 1998, took to Twitter to express his shock and tweeted:
Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the brain that leads to tremors and difficulty with walking, coordination and movement. Michael J. Fox and Robin Williams are pictured together (above) backstage at the hit play Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo in 2011.
Robin Williams attended an art gallery reception near his Bay Area home on Saturday night. According to TMZ, he surprised a local artist named Mark Jaeger, whose works were featured that night. Jaeger said that Robin seemed in good spirits, laughed frequently and didn’t drink alcohol.
Robin previously bought one of Jaeger’s superhero clay heads and Jaeger said that they talked about a possible script based on the concept of his sculptures.
Robin attended the event with his wife Susan Schneider (the woman with long dark hair in the first pic). The pics were taken on Saturday night and Robin's body was found on Monday morning.
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.
