Forensic evidence indicates Robin Williams’s death on Monday was asphyxia by hanging, California investigators said yesterday. Among the many people grieving the loss of the beloved comedic genius is The Crazy Ones creator David E. Kelley. “The talent was legendary,” said Kelley. “But equally inspiring, perhaps more so, was his kindness and humanity. A gentle soul, who touched us all.”

ABC News apologized Tuesday morning for showing live shots of Williams’ home on its website after the comic legend’s death. “When we realized there was no news value to the live stream, we took it down immediately,” said ABC News after drawing criticism on social media. The live stream was yanked after less than an hour. Also apologizing, for a poorly chosen remark: Fox News’ Shepard Smith, for using the word “coward” in describing Williams’ actions.
