Robin Williams passed away from apparent suicide on Monday, August 11.
Williams was known for many of his film and television roles.
His role as the alien Mork in the television series Mork & Mindy in the late ‘70s and early ’80s is widely recognized as establishing him as a great actor.
His extensive experience begat great riches--he was worth $50 million at the time of his death, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Williams left behind his wife Susan Schneider, and children Zelda Rae Williams, Cody Allen Williams, and Zachary Pym Williams.
Schneider issued a statement following Williams’ death.
“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 Schneider, 48, in a statement.
“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.”
Williams publicist Mara Buxbaum said in a statement that Williams was battling “severe depression.”
“This is a tragic and sudden loss,” she said. “The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”
