Well, looks like now we really know why he died, though I think it would be better if the coroner released an official report about it. Still incredibly sad, and it's only come to light today.

Wow-had an uncle who had Lewy body. It’s horrid.

[subterfuge]

I thought he killed himself?

[Nifster]

that’s her take on it....he got a diagnosis ( or not) and decided to play God. Sorry for the family but suicide is suicide.

[smokingfrog]

Interesting. Apparently, he was mis-diagnosed, as have been some other famous people.

[Cowboy Bob]

Didn’t he have Herpes too? That can cause problems...

Sad all around, despite his politics, I always liked Robin.

[catbertz]

Oh man, this is sad. I’m glad it wasn’t as simple as someone with so many blessings just giving up. I pray that our Lord is understanding and merciful. There are few celebs that I enjoyed as much as Robin Williams.

How terrible. I did a lot of research on Lewy Body for a friend. I am so sorry for Robin and his family.

All that cocaine he took did not help him.

She would know, I guess.

If he wasn't bipolar, though, he certainly could imitate it well enough.

Lewy body dementia was featured in Kelsey Grammar's brilliant but cancelled series Boss.

Great show about politics.
