The news of Robin’s suicide caused shockwaves the world over, when it was reported that he had been found dead in his California home back in August, at the age of 63.
His death led to a number of public tributes, both from the world of showbiz and from his fans, who paid their respects by laying floral tributes at his home, as well as at the home of his character Mork from the sitcom ‘Mork & Mindy’.
Robin’s three children also paid tribute to their father with an emotional statement, with his daughter, Zelda, describing him as “one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls I've ever known”, adding: “I will carry his heart with me every day.”
Though he was best known for his stand-up comedy and comic film performances, Robin also took on more serious parts throughout his decades-spanning career, and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1997, thanks to his performance in ‘Good Will Hunting’.
