ROBIN WILLIAMS MORRE AOS 63 E DEIXA FAMILIARES, AMIGOS E FÃS TOTALMENTE DEVASTADOS.

Robin Williams dead; family, friends and fans are 'totally devastated' Robin Williams, considerado pelos críticos norte-americanos como o primeiro artista a fazer a América rir e eventualmente tocou cada elemento do espírito humano, morre aos 63 anos (em 12 de agosto). O blog da banda Rock Brasília publica com pesar a perda sofrida pelo cenário da arte mundial e deixa registrado abaixo alguns posts (nas formas que foram originalmente postados na língua inglesa) que mostram a relevância e sentimentos suscitados pela perda desse insuperável ator. President Barack Obama's statement sent from the White House summed it up: "Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien -- but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most -- from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets." (CNN) -- Robin Williams -- who first made America laugh and eventually touched "every element of the human spirit" in a remarkable range of performances -- died at his Northern California home Monday. Comedian Steve Martin tweeted, "I could not be more stunned by the loss of Robin Williams, mensch, great talent, acting partner, genuine soul." Former CNN host Larry King said he would remember Williams as "a genuine caring guy. Not just a funny man, but a guy who cared about people." Marin County deputies responded to an emergency call from Williams' home in unincorporated Tiburon, California, at 11:55 a.m., reporting "a male adult had been located unconscious and not breathing," the release from the sheriff said. Williams was pronounced dead at 12:02 p.m., it said. Williams was last seen alive at his home, where he lives with his wife, at about 10 p.m. Sunday, the sheriff's statement said. "An investigation into the cause, manner and circumstances of the death is currently underway by the Investigations and Coroner Divisions of the Sheriff's Office," the sheriff's statement said. "Coroner Division suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia, but a comprehensive investigation must be completed before a final determination is made." An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday, the sheriff said.
