Robin Williams died at age 63

Robin McLaurin Williams was found dead in Tiburon, Northern California where he allegedly committed suicide.

He is an American actor, stand-up comedian, and a voice actor, born on July 21, 1951.

A report from TMZ said that the Marin County Sheriff's Office police found the actor's body inside his house premises without any signs of life at all.

The investigator primarily suspects that he had suicide and died due to asphyxia (a condition in which the supply of oxygen poorly depleted.)

According to IMDb news, statement from a representative was issued:

“Robin Williams passed away this morning. He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”

Robin was still alive around 10 p.m. on Sunday night, August 10, 2014.

The comedian went back to rehab last month for being alcoholic. He dealt with alcohol and cocaine abuse during the early '80s but he managed to combat it and remained sober for over 20 years.

Robin Williams was well known to his great talent on big film screens that were shown all over the world.

He voiced over "Aladdin" in 1992, "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" in 1996, "Happy Feet" in 2006, and "Happy Feet 2" in 2011. He was also the lead cast of "Dead Poets Society" in 1989, "Hook" in 1991, "Mrs. Doubtfire" in 1993, "Jumanji" in 1995, "Good Will Hunting" in 1997, "Patch Adams" in 1998, and "Bicentenneal Man" in 1999.

Those were only the few movies starred by the late actor.
