今日，警方公布了影星羅賓·威廉姆斯的死因，警方指出，羅賓·威廉姆斯是在臥房內用皮帶上吊自殺。他死的那天晚上是和妻子分房睡的。

被發現時，羅賓·威廉姆斯是坐著的。當他被發現時，已經沒有意識，也沒有呼吸。

威廉姆斯上吊前曾用小刀試著割腕自殺，在左手腕有割傷痕跡。

他長久以來深受抑郁癥所苦，上月才進勒戒中心接受治療，無奈仍不敵心魔，在63歲撒手人寰，讓廣大影迷唏噓不已。

除了飽受抑郁癥折磨，威廉姆斯數十年來一直沉迷于毒品和酒精，兩次離婚讓他深陷財務困擾，甚至準備賣掉房產來抵債。

Robin Williams hanged himself with a belt Sunday night while his wife slept in a nearby bedroom, it has been revealed.

The 63-year-old Williams was last seen alive about 10.30pm on Sunday by his third wife Susan Schneider when she went to bed. Williams locked himself in a different bedroom, Marin County Sheriff's Lieutenant Keith Boyd said this afternoon.

By the time an assistant found the Oscar-winning actor's body at 11.55am on Monday, rigor mortis had set in. It normally takes 12 to 18 hours for a body to stiffen after death.

After going to bed Sunday night, Susan got up and left the house to run errands about 10.30am - believing her husband of three years was still asleep.

An assistant, worried when Williams couldn't be roused at 11.45am, broke into the bedroom. Williams was found clothed, in a seated position with a belt around his neck.

He had several superficial cuts on the inside of his left wrist. A pocket knife with what appeared to be dried blood was discovered nearby.

Emergency personnel arrived at noon. At 12:02 he was pronounced dead. Toxicology reports are pending and will take two to six weeks.

Police would not comment on whether Williams left a suicide note, though TMZ reports that his family don't believe he left behind anything explaining his actions.

Police also wouldn't discuss the circumstances under which Williams and his wife went to bed in separate rooms.

The Mrs Doubtfire and Good Will Hunting star's suicide comes after decades of battling depression and alcohol and drug addiction. He was also facing significant financial pressures and admitted he was selling a $35million estate in Napa because he could no longer afford it..

Williams was 'very drawn and thin' and appeared just a 'shell' of his bright public persona this weekend - a few days before he committed suicide, according to his neighbor who was one of the last people to see him alive.

The longtime resident of the secluded community where Williams lived has exclusively told MailOnline that Williams appeared subdued and preoccupied - especially compared to the up-beat family man who moved into the Tiburon, California, mansion years ago.

Williams' neighbor told MailOnline through tears: 'The last time I saw Robin was over the weekend, we would catch up on the street, just casual.

'He was very drawn and thin, he did not look like the Robin who first moved into this community many years ago.

'He was a shell of himself, exhausted and not in the best spirits, but still the nice guy I had always known. There seemed to be something on his mind...

‘The last time I saw him he seemed to be in a bad place emotionally.'

Williams struggled with depression and an addiction to cocaine and alcohol for decades. Last month the married father of three was back in rehab 'fine-tuning' his sobriety in a year where he had been working on six movies and a TV series.

His publicist also revealed the star had been 'battling severe depression of late.'

Williams also admitted that he was troubled by his finances. He was reportedly forced to pay $30million during his 2008 divorce from his second wife Marsha Garces, the film producer who is mother to his last two children, and first wife Valerie Velardi.

Last year, he admitted that he was selling his $35million Napa estate because he could no longer afford it. He listed it in April for $29.9million - a $5million markdown from what he paid for it.

He also admitted that he was working many of his recent gigs - including a new TV show for CBS - to make money. He was also working on six movies this year - leaving four of them unfinished.

A source told RadarOnline that Williams confided that he had 'serious money troubles.'

He told Parade magazine last September: 'The idea of having a steady job is appealing... There are bills to pay.

'My life has downsized, in a good way. I’m selling the ranch up in Napa. I just can’t afford it anymore.'

No matter Williams' current financial state, he made sure to look after his three children, Zachary Pym, 31, Zelda Rae, 25 and Alan, 22.

TMZ reports that he set up trusts for his children in 2009 that were paid in stages. One their 21st birthday, the children each got one third of the trust. Half of the remaining amount was to be doled on out their 25th birthday and the rest on their 30th.

It is not known how much money is in the trusts, but TMZ reports that they will continue to pay out even after the star's death.

Williams had not been seen in public since his birthday three weeks ago.

Despite his trip to rehab in Minnesota earlier this year, friends tell TMZ that the star's final attempt at saving himself from his demons might have come too late.

'Just before he checked in it was obvious ... he had not gotten treatment for so long he was too far down the road,' a source told the gossip site.
