US actor Robin Williams has been found dead, aged 63, in an apparent suicide, California police say.
Marin County Police said they had found Williams unresponsive after responding to an emergency call around noon local time.
Williams was famous for films such as Good Morning Vietnam and Dead Poet's Society.
He had been open in the past 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.
"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.

RIP a sad loss. A very talented actor.
It's sad that a person can find themselves trapped in a place where the only escape is death ????

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Terrible loss and very very sad. Always felt he was a guy who would be exactly the same in real life as he came across in his films
Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Tragic loss

Loved him as Mrs Doubtfire
Just goes to show fame and fortune doesn't always equal happiness.
Tragic for those left behind wondering why.
Suicide and attempted suicide is a complicated issue which draws pity and scorn in equal measure.
Hope you have now found peace x

RIP Robin
Great actor, comedian and by all accounts a really good guy.
Loved him since Mork and Mindy
So many talented people plagued by demons.
Sympathies to those close to him-must be devastated.
