Robin William's Death: Suicide

                                                In the memories of Late Robin William

                        Robin Williams committed suicide by hanging himself with a belt, Marin County police said at a Tuesday press conference.The preliminary cause of death is suicide due to asphyxia.
                                        Williams was found hanging in a bedroom, slightly suspended in a seated position, with superficial cut marks on the inside of his left wrist and rigor mortis had set in. Williams was found by his assistant, Boyd added. He was pronounced dead at 12:02 p.m. on Monday.
                                        Williams was last seen alive by his wife at approximately 10:30p.m. on Sunday, Boyd added, before she went to bed.Around 10:30 a.m. the next morning, Williams' wife left the house, believing Williams to still be asleep, but his assistant grew concerned around 11:45 a.m. when Williams did not respond to repeated knocks on his bedroom door, Boyd relayed. Once the assistant got into the room, the assistant found Williams clothed, hanging against a closed closet door, with a belt secured around his neck, with the other end of the belt wedged between the door and the door frame, Boyd explained.
                                       Boyd did note, in recounting the 911 call received after Williams was found, that the caller sounded distraught.Boyd also said that there's still an ongoing, active investigation into the cause and manner Williams' death and that toxicology tests will be conducted, which could take approximately two to six weeks. A press conference will be scheduled when the investigation is completed, Boyd said.
                                       Williams was a four-time Oscar nominee who won the best supporting actor trophy for his role in Good Will Hunting. He most recently starred in CBS' one-season comedy The Crazy Ones, alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar.
