Robin Williams was cremated the day after his death and his ashes were scattered in the San Francisco Bay, according to reports.
Williams was found dead in his California home on August 11 after a long battle with depression.
Radar Online published what it claims is an image of the comedian’s official death certificate.
A couple of days after his death, his wife Susan Schneider revealed he was diagnosed with early stages of Parkinson's Disease.
The 63-year-old will be honoured at the Emmy's on NBC on Monday August 25.
His long-time friend Billy Crystal will lead the segment in memory of Williams.
Emmy's producer Don Mischer said in a statement to ENews that Crystal was the obvious choice.
“We felt we needed to do something powerful and memorable,” he said in a statement.
“Billy seemed like the perfect choice.
"While we are all still coming to terms with this week's tragic news, we are working to give Robin Williams the proper and meaningful remembrance he so well deserves.”
This will be the first time Crystal has spoken about Williams' death.
He took to Twitter a few days ago and wrote “no words.”
