Found on BBC News on Tuesday, 12 August 2014
Marin County Sheriff's Lt Keith Boyd said Williams, 63, had been treated for depression and killed himself by hanging.
In the past Williams had talked, and even joked, about his struggles with alcohol and drugs. His representative said on Monday he had also been "battling severe depression".
Williams was a great actor and his death is a real loss. Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting, Patch Adams and many other movies are proof of his talent.
