Today marks the sixth anniversary of the death of Robin Williams. He brought us so much laughter and joy. Still, in these dark times, a beacon of light as we rewatch some of his classic interviews on Youtube, from Carson to Ferguson. Then there was that moment in front of Chuck and Cam.
Behind all the cameras, more details are emerging about what led up to his tragic final days. His family has announced that those moments are the subject of a new documentary called “Robin’s wish,” which will be released on September 1st. An autopsy revealed that he was suffering from Lewy Body Dementia.
His widow, Susan Schneider Williams said in a statement about the documentary, that Robin did not know.
“Armed with the name of a brain disease I’d never heard of, I set out on a mission to understand it, and that led me down my unchosen path of advocacy. With invaluable help from leading medical experts, I saw that what Robin and I had gone through finally made sense — our experience matched up with the science. And what I discovered along the way was bigger than me, and bigger than Robin,” she said.
