President Barack Obama has led tributes to US actor and comedian Robin
Williams, who has been found dead, aged 63, in an apparent suicide.
Marin County Police in California said Williams was pronounced dead at his
home after officials responded to an emergency call around noon local time.
Williams was famous for films such as Good Morning Vietnam and won an Oscar
for his role in Good Will Hunting.
His publicist said he had been "battling severe depression".
President Obama was one of many offering condolences to the actor's family
saying: "Williams arrived in our lives as an alien - but he ended up touching
every element of the human spirit.
"He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely
and generously to those who needed it most - from our troops stationed abroad to
the marginalised on our own streets."
In the past Williams had talked, and even joked, about his struggles with
alcohol and drugs.
He had recently returned to a rehabilitation centre to "fine-tune" his
sobriety, the Los Angeles Times reported in July.
The local Sheriff's office said Williams was found unconscious and not
breathing at his home near Tiburon, north of San Francisco.
"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," police said in a statement.
In a statement, Williams' wife, Susan Schneider, said she was "utterly
heartbroken".
"This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost
one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly
heartbroken," she said.
"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 the focus will not be on
Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to
millions."
