ON August 11, 2014 beloved actor Robin Williams committed suicide at the age of 63. He hung himself by a belt.

While depression was said to be a major cause for his death. The real factor contributing to the funny man’s suicide is now reported to be caused by a horrible disease called Lewy Body Dementia according to TMZ.

Williams was struggling with the disease, which is marked by abnormal protein deposits in the brain that disrupt normal function.

Lewy Body Dementia is a common condition associated with Parkinson’s … and people afflicted by both often get severe side effects from Parkinson’s meds.

Hallucinations are common, where patients see phantom objects, people or animals and The patients often try to converse with the illusions.

Right before his death Robin complained to his wife that his new meds made him feel funny and weird.

Lewy Body Dementia was the “key factor” they believe drove him to kill himself. Robin’s doctors agree that the disease was the critical factor leading to his suicide.

Still sad, but a relief to know he didn’t just up and commit suicide just because he was sad
