According to police in Marin County, Calif., Williams was found "unconscious and not breathing" just before noon Monday inside his home in Tiburon, Calif., following a 911 phone call. He was pronounced dead at 12:02 p.m. after emergency personnel arrived. They added that the actor was last seen alive at 10 p.m. Sunday.

An investigation into the cause of the death is underway, but "the Sheriff’s Office Coroner Division suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia." A forensic examination is scheduled for Tuesday, along with a press conference that will be held at 11 a.m. in San Rafael, Calif.

Williams' publicist Mara Buxbaum told The Hollywood Reporter that Williams "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."

It is a real shame. I loved his acting and his stand-up. Sad to see another great going like this. Depression is a terrible thing.
 
R.I.P. Mr Williams.

Your superb acting skill will be a loss to the industry.

Your death will be a great loss to all.
 
Very sad for the world to lose someone like him. Apparently a lot of comedians suffer from depression, which seems so odd since what we get to see of them is them making jokes and being fun.
