So you've probably heard that Robin Williams has died. I don't really know how to word it, because I'm horrible at serious things like this, so, Toronto Star, take it away.

"Williams, who won an Oscar for his performance in 1997’s Good Will Hunting, was found unconscious and not breathing in his Tiburon, Calif. home around 11:55 a.m., the Marin County Sheriff’s Office confirmed in a news release.

“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,” the news release reported. Williams was last seen around 10 p.m. on Aug. 10 in the home he shares with his wife, the Marin County Sheriff's Office said.

"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,” said Williams' wife, Susan Schneider. “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,”

What do you think, Wikians? Let me know.
