Actor and comedian Robin Williams died Monday at the age of 63. He first became nationally known from TV’s Mork & Mindy, which ran from 1978 to 1982. He won an Oscar for his role in the film Good Will Hunting. The cause of death is believed to be suicide via asphyxiation. He was found on his home. The New York Times quoted Susan Schneider, Williams’ wife, “This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one if its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin’s family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope that the focus will not be on Robin’s death but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.”
