The great actor, comedian and all-round good guy, has died - he was 63.
Apparantly he was suffering from deep depression, strange that many comedians suffer from this.
President Barack Obama led the nation in tribute, relaasing a statement which said: "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 marginalised on our own streets."
Pam Dawber, Williams' co-star in Mork and Mindy, the television show that catapulted him to fame, said: "I am completely and totally devastated."
John Travolta, his co-star in the film Old Dogs, said: "I've never known a sweeter, brighter, more considerate person than Robin. Robin's commitment as an artist to lifting our mood and making us happy is compared to none. He loved us all and we loved him back."
RIP Robin - and Thank You.
