ROBIN WILLIAMS DEAD FROM SUICIDE AT 63!!

This just came in as an alert on my cell phone! Actor comedian Robin Williams has been found dead at his home. The details will be coming in asap...possibly a suicide...

Police were the first to confirm the death of Williams, who was discovered “unconscious and not breathing inside his residence” in Tiburon, California. A police report was the source of the announcement.

According to a press release issued by the Marin County Coronor’s office, the Sheriff’s office suspects the death to be “suicide due to asphyxia.” The 9-1-1 phone call came in just before noon today.

“The Sheriff’s Office Coroner Divison suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia,” the police report says. An investigation into his death is now underway. In July the actor had checked himself into rehab.

Williams is best known for roles in Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, Aladdin, and Jumanji.

"It is our hope the focus will be not on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions."

More recently, the actor starred on CBS’ The Crazy Ones.

Our thoughts and prayers go to his family, his children, and the legions of friends Robin had...  If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Mork & Mindy Reunion: Pam Dawber to Guest Star on The Crazy Ones

Posted on Jan 23, 2014 12:45pm

From TVGuide.com: Mork calling Orson, come in Orson! This news is out of this world! CBS's The Crazy Ones is reuniting Robin Williams with his Mork & Mindy wife Pam Dawber for an episode to air this spring.

Dawber will play Lily, an author of travel memoirs who catches the eye of Williams' ad agency exec, Simon. The two meet at a signing for her latest book, Ninety Countries, 90 Dances! Instantly smitten, Simon falls for this adventurous free spirit who seems up for anything. Perhaps a jaunt to Ork in a giant egg...?

The Crazy Ones is a comedy series created by David E. Kelley that stars Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar. The single-camera project premiered on CBS on September 26, 2013, as part of the 2013–14 American television season as a Thursday night 9 pm (ET/PT) entry. Bill D'Elia, Dean Lorey and Jason Winer serve as executive producers for 20th Century Fox Television.

HEY ST JUDE CAMPAIGN

 Famous faces including Jennifer Aniston, Ellen DeGeneres, Jordin Sparks, Betty White and Jon Hamm are featured in the clip crooning to the Beatles’ hit “Hey Jude.”

Since its founding in 1962, the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has helped save countless lives affected by catastrophic juvenile diseases — and they’re marking their 50th anniversary by deepening their commitment to the cause with a new donation campaign, dubbed ‘Hey St. Jude.’

Promoted with a heartwarming video set to the strains of the Beatles classic ‘Hey Jude,’ the campaign — which has its own Twitter hashtag, #heystjude — seeks to drum up donations for the hospital by offering a #heystjude t-shirt to anyone who contributes $35 or more.

You can see the shirt on Betty White in the still from the video at the top of this post — as well as on a dizzying array of celebrities who turned out to sing ‘Hey Jude’ in the clip, including Keith Urban, Darius Rucker, Robin Williams, and Jennifer Aniston. No matter how many times you’ve listened to the song, you’ve never heard it like this.

Dedicated to the belief that “no child should die in the dawn of life,” the hospital has consistently provided treatment to patients regardless of “race, religion or a family’s ability to pay,” as well as dedicating a substantial portion of its funds to medical research. Visit the Hey St. Jude website for more information.
