Robin Williams, the manic comic who morphed from TV’s Mork from Ork to Oscar-winning glory, is dead of an apparent suicide. He was 63.
Emergency personnel were called to Williams’s home in Tiburon, California, at 11:55 a.m. local time, per the Marin County Sheriff’s Office.
Williams was found unconscious and pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities are investigating the death, and an autopsy is forthcoming, but initial evidence points to “a suicide due to asphyxia,” according to Marin Sheriff’s Lt. Keith Boyd.
