The cause of death is believed to be suicide via asphyxiation, according to the coroner’s office in Tiburon, Calif. He was found in his home.

His publicist said the actor had been battling depression of late.

“This is a tragic and sudden loss,” his publicist Mara Buxbaum said in a statement. “The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”

Williams is best known for both comedic and dramatic roles in movies including “Good Will Hunting,” for which he won a Best Supporting Actor in 1997. In addition, he won several Emmys, Golden Globes.

They're saying suicide - what on earth happened, why would he do it? So sad.

Oh my goodness. How incredibly sad. Depression knows no boundaries and does not discriminate gender, age or socioeconomic position. RIP. May he be free of all his pain.

I am saddened to learn this. May his beleaguered soul rest in peace. So sensitive to everything out there...

Deb, I loved that movie. I'm sure we still have the old video around here somewhere.

That's horrible. Many comedians have problems with depression and Robin was no exception. He's had issues with alcohol as well. I am stunned...
