Preliminary results of a forensic examination
have showed that American actor and comedian
Robin Williams likely ended his life by hanging
himself.
An autopsy was conducted on Tuesday.
Williams was discovered unconscious and not
breathing in his home in northern California,
after police received an emergency call shortly
before noon.
Officials from Marin County Sheriff's Office
said his personal assistant had found Williams
in his bedroom, seated with a belt around
his neck.
Toxicology results will take three to six
weeks, according to sheriff's officials.
