Since there isn't a science board, I thought I'd share this here. This is heartbreaking to read.

That's very sad. I always found his absurdity and humor amazing, funny or not. This is another disease I hope somehow medicine can diagnose/treat much better in the future.

Quote:

What Williams never found out was that he had been suffering from the neurological disease Lewy body dementia, a diagnosis that only came to his widow with a post-mortem following his death. Medical professionals said it was one of the worst cases they had ever seen.

Filmmaker Tylor Norwood, who was contacted by Schneider Williams to raise awareness of what really happened to her husband in his final days and years, now hopes to provide clarity and honour the actor's memory in a new documentary film, Robin's Wish.
