Police say comic Robin Williams committed suicide
Authorities on Tuesday described Robin Williams’ final moments, saying the actor and comedian hanged himself with a belt in his San Francisco Bay Area home.
Marin County Sheriff’s Lieutenant Keith Boyd said Williams was last seen alive by his wife on Sunday night when she went to bed. She woke up the next morning and left, thinking he was still asleep.
Shortly after that, Williams’ personal assistant came to the home and became concerned when Williams failed to respond to knocks at a door. The assistant found the 63-year-old actor clothed and dead in a bedroom.
Boyd said all evidence indicates Williams killed himself, but he said a final ruling will be made once toxicology reports and witness interviews are complete.
The condition of the body indicated Williams had been dead for at least several hours, Boyd said.
Williams had been seeking treatment for depression, Boyd said. He would not say whether the actor left a suicide note.
“We still have people we want to speak with, so there is some information we’re going to withhold,” he said. “We’re not discussing the note, or a note, at this point as the investigation is ongoing.”
It was no secret that the actor had periodic bouts of substance abuse and depression — he made reference to it himself in his comedy routines. Just last month, Williams announced he was returning to a 12-step treatment program.
The circumstances of the death do not help explain what motivated him, suicide experts said. They stressed that suicide is rarely triggered by a single factor. Typically there are at least two such influences, often compounded by acute stress, such as from financial hardship or troubled personal relationships.
