Robin Williams death has rocked the world, yesterday the Marin County Sheriff's Department held a press conference which confirmed his passing was suicide.

Williams, 69, died Monday morning (Aug. 11) from asphyxia due to hanging.

Mr. Williams also had cuts on his inner left wrist but these transverse cuts were not the cause of death.  Reports are that a chemical substance was also found in his system but a description of the drug has not been released.

Williams, who struggled with depression and sobriety, In 2010 did an interview where he talked about suicide and not having the "balls" to do it.

Our thoughts are with the family at this very difficult time.
