Comedian
Robin Williams' official autopsy report has just been released. And
according to it, his death has been officially ruled as suicide,
asphyxia due to hanging.
A Marin County coroner's report released
on Friday stated that after a toxicology test on the star's body, no
alcohol or illicit drugs was found in his system. Prescription
medications were detected but
in concentrations consistent with their use for therapeutic purposes.
The
63 year old Mork and Mindy star was found dead in the bedroom of his
home in Tiburon, north of San Francisco, on August 11. He was last seen
alive by his wife when she went to bed. She woke up the next morning and
left, thinking he was still asleep elsewhere in the house. But not
until William's personal assistant came to the home and became concerned
when the actor failed to respond to knocks at a door.
The
comedian had battled on and off with drugs and alcohol for decades and
had admitted himself to a clinic earlier this year for treatment. In the
months before his death, Williams had been diagnosed with Parkinsons
and was said by his wife to be sober, but struggling with depression.
The day after his death, he was cremated and his ashes scattered over
the San Francisco Bay in a private ceremony.
