The widow of Robin Williams wrote an essay on the last months of her husband's life

2 years ago the world was shocked by the terrible news - the legendary actor and comedian Robin Williams died, having committed suicide. His wife Susan Schneider, after the death of her husband, repeatedly gave interviews, telling that the last time Williams's life was terrible, but now decided to write an essay on this topic.

Robin was going crazy

After the death of the famous actor, it became known that Williams suffered from Parkinson's disease and did not want any of the admirers or colleagues to know about it. He carefully concealed his condition and how hard it was for him to know only his wife and close associates. In an essay, Susan wrote these words:

"Robin was going crazy! He understood this, but did not want to accept it. Robin could not reconcile himself to the fact that he was falling apart. Neither intellect nor love could do anything about it. No one could understand what was happening to him, but Robin always dreamed that there would be doctors who could reboot his brain. He went to different doctors, traveled from one hospital to another, but there was no result. You have no idea how many tests he had to pass. He was even scanned by the brain to determine if there was a tumor there. Everything was in order, except for one - a very high level of cortisol. Then, at the end of May, he was told that Parkinson's disease began to develop. We finally got the answer to the question: "What is it?", But in my heart I began to understand that Williams would not help. "

Robin's suicide is not a weakness

August 11, 2014, Williams was found dead in the bedroom of his own house in the city of Tiburon, California. His body was found by personal assistant and friend of actor Rebecca Erwin Spencer, when she opened the door of his bedroom. After the examination, the police came to the conclusion that the actor's death came as a result of suffocation by a trouser belt, which was fixed on Williams's neck and in the doorway. On this occasion, Schneider wrote the following words:

"I would very much like Robin to know that I do not consider his suicide to be a weakness. He struggled for a long time with the disease and fought very persistently. In addition to Parkinson's disease, Robin was severely depressed and paranoid, and the last months were a nightmare. He could hardly walk and talk, and sometimes he did not even understand where he was. "

In conclusion, Susan wrote these words:

"I hope that this essay and all my stories about the life of the legendary actor and a wonderful person will help someone. I really want to believe that Robin Williams did not die in vain. "
