Robin Williams Hung Himself With a Belt . . . After Cutting His Wrist With a Pocket Knife 

Police revealed yesterday that ROBIN WILLIAMS hung himself with a belt that he'd tied around his neck and wedged between a closed closet door and the door frame.  He also had cuts on his left wrist that indicated he may have tried to slash his wrist first.  There was a pocket knife nearby that had what appeared to be dried blood on it.

They said he was found by his personal assistant, quote, "clothed in a seated position, unresponsive, and with a belt secured around his neck with the other end of the belt wedged between the closed closet door and door frame."

 

 

But Robin also had "superficial cuts" on the inside of his left wrist, and there was a pocket knife nearby that appeared to have dried blood on it.  This suggests Robin tried to cut his wrist before hanging himself.

 

 

There was nothing to indicate a "struggle or any altercation" prior to his death.

 

 

Robin's wife Susan had left the house Monday morning to run some errands, and didn't return until his body had already been found.  She was the last person to see him alive, at about 10:30 the night before.

One is at the bench in Boston where he shared a scene with MATT DAMON in "Good Will Hunting".  People have been leaving flowers and other items there, and writing on the pavement around the bench with chalk.
