To pay tribute to Robin Williams, Disney is going to screen its 1992 animated motion picture Aladdin on Disney Channel, Disney X-D, and Disney Junior this weekend.
We join with voices around the world in expressing sadness, disbelief, and grief with the news of the passing of beloved actor and comedian Robin Williams.
The New York Times reports that Williams was found dead in his home in Tiburon, California, on August 11, 2014. The Marin County sheriff’s office said in a statement that it “suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia” and that an investigation was underway. The Times reported that Mr. Williams’s publicist, Mara Buxbaum, said in a statement that Mr. Williams “has been battling severe depression.” He was 63 years old.
