Robin Williams was a versatile actor of Hollywood and has done a number of different roles in his lifetime – many of his roles were as a comedian but he had a fair share of serious roles. In a career spanning 37 years, where he has been seen in a host of colorful characters.
This has been reported in ibnlive.com dated 11 August 2015.
However, he left for his heavenly abode on August 11 last year when he was only 63-year-old. In the initial report released on August 12, the Marin County Sheriff's Office deputy coroner had indicated that he had hanged himself with a belt and died from asphyxiation.
The tragic incident took place in Paradise City, California and, it seems he had been suffering from severe depression, and Parkinson’s disease.
He will always be remembered for his roles in movies Mrs Doubtfire (1993), and Flubber (1997). While in the first movie he portrayed the role of a woman housekeeper, in the second one he was a scientist who invented Flubber. The storyline was similar to 1961 movie ‘The absent minded professor'.
