Robin Williams was one of his generation’s greatest comedians, a man of quick wit, unforgettable one-liners, and a compassionate heart.

When he died in 2015, the world lost one of its brightest stars. Williams was more than just a stand-up comedian.

He was a legend to millions of people, and the circumstances of his death shocked everyone who had ever considered themselves a fan.

Behind his cheerful exterior, the actor, who was 63 at the time of his death, was battling demons.

Much has been said about the possible reasons for his decision to end her life, but his deteriorating mental health appears to have played a significant role.

Williams’ final days were excruciating and chaotic, according to new sources, and his wife, Susan Schneider, described them as «living a nightmare.»

For millions of people, Robin Williams was a beacon of uncontrollable joy. With his larger-than-life roles, exuberant on-screen performances, and jumpy, joyful demeanor, it’s difficult to imagine the actor ever being sad.

Williams’ life in the spotlight had previously been impacted by drunkenness and adultery.

But it wasn’t until he received a terrible diagnosis that the bleakness of his situation became too much for him.

Williams could have been forgiven for thinking that after marrying third wife Susan Schneider in 2007, whom he met in an Apple store, the most scandalous parts of his life were behind him.

Schneider and the actor married in a ceremony in which they wrote their own vows, and the couple moved in with her two children.

Williams, however, began to experience concerning symptoms such as stomach pains and shaking nerve endings only two years into their marriage.

According to Schneider, Williams’ problems caused paranoia and episodes of insomnia. It got so severe that the actor told his close family members that he thought he was going to die.

Williams was then diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease by specialists in 2014.

Williams and his wife were instructed to sleep in separate bedrooms as his illness worsened, while Williams himself struggled with reality so much that he even asked Schneider if they were still together.

Schneider described her late husband’s symptoms as ‘satellite troubles,’ saying he was continuously plagued with paranoia, anxiety, and moderate despair.

Schneider ultimately decided that Williams should be referred to a neuropsychological facility for additional testing.

The actor agreed, but he was discovered dead in his bedroom a week before his appointment.

After Williams died, doctors discovered that he had been misdiagnosed. He did not have Parkison’s disease, but he most likely had Lewy Body Dementia.

Schneider stated that her late husband’s health had a significant impact on him and that he would openly cry near the end. She compared Lew Body Dementia to chemical warfare in the brain.

She went on to say that she didn’t think Williams was suicidal and that he hadn’t demonstrated any signs of it.
