This might've been suicide, but it's beyond such a downer.

Actor Robin Williams has died at 63.
The cause of death is thought to be suicide by asphyxiation.
Here's the release from the Marin County Sheriff's Office:
On August 11, 2014, at approximately 11:55 am, Marin County Communications received a 9-1-1 telephone call reporting a male adult had been located unconscious and not breathing inside his residence in unincorporated Tiburon, CA. The Sheriff’s Office, as well as the Tiburon Fire Department and Southern Marin Fire Protection District were dispatched to the incident with emergency personnel arriving on scene at 12:00 pm. The male subject, pronounced deceased at 12:02 pm has been identified as Robin McLaurin Williams, a 63 year old resident of unincorporated Tiburon, CA.
An investigation into the cause, manner, and circumstances of the death is currently underway by the Investigations and Coroner Divisions of the Sheriff’s Office. Preliminary information developed during the investigation indicates Mr. Williams was last seen alive at his residence, where he resides with his wife, at approximately 10:00 pm on August 10, 2014. Mr. Williams was located this morning shortly before the 9-1-1 call was placed to Marin County Communications. At this time, the Sheriff’s Office Coroner Division suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia, but a comprehensive investigation must be completed before a final determination is made. A forensic examination is currently scheduled for August 12, 2014 with subsequent toxicology testing to be conducted.
Williams is known for his roles in "Good Will Hunting," "Mrs. Doubtfire," and "Hook."
Goodnight, sweet prince. :'(

It's bad enough that she lost her father, but people had to harass her (http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2014/08/13/robin-williamss-daughter-zelda-driven-off-twitter-by-vicious-trolls/) simply because of all this, and who her father was... I feel quite bad for Zelda and the rest of her family too.
Just goes to show what can happen under the cover of anonymity called the internet; many can use it for a force of good, but... *shakes head* While I'm not much of a movie fan, I too was sad to hear he died, knowing his legacy - and am even sadder to hear of this happening to someone who I'm sure's already grieving.
