Robin Williams’ Last Days: New Documentary Details His Struggle
Tylor Norwood’s documentary, “Robin’s Wish,” which releases on demand Sept. 1, documents the last days of Robin Williams’ life. Close friends, neighbors and his wife, Susan Schneider Williams, tell a story of a man and his struggles before the death that took the world by surprise.
The documentary is led by Schneider Williams, who wants fans to understand the comedian’s battle with Lewy Body Dementia. Norwood tells a touching story, educating viewers on the degenerative disease that takes over the brain, with interviewees providing further insight into Williams’ last days. Williams’ death was listed as a suicide, but he had been suffering from an incredibly debilitating physical and mental condition that made it impossible for him to go on, although he never knew his diagnosis.
Under the Washington State Death With Dignity Law, even if you choose to end your life, your cause of death is listed as the underlying disease that was killing you.
