Robin Williams Dead of Apparent Suicide at 63

In July, Williams entered rehab for the second time, but not because of a relapse.

“After working back-to-back projects, Robin is simply taking the opportunity to fine-tune and focus on his continued commitment, of which he remains extremely proud,” the actor’s publicist said at the time.

Williams reportedly spent a few weeks at Hazelden Addiction Treatment Center in Minnesota.

The actor spoke publicly about his battle with substance abuse. In 2006, he sought treatment for alcoholism after 20 years of sobriety. A rep for the actor said in a statement that Robin “found himself drinking again and has decided to take proactive measures to deal with this for his own well-being and the well-being of his family.”
