Despite the untimely passing of comedian Robin Williams more than seven years ago, his spirit and legacy live on in our hearts.

Williams’s death shocked the entire globe, and many people thought that his choice to take his own life was motivated by drug usage and depression

But as it turns out, Robin Williams’ terrible death was actually caused by something quite else.

Susan Schneider Williams, Robin’s widow, made the decision to come clean about what truly killed her husband.

When legendary comedian Robin Williams passed away in 2014, the world lost one of the greatest comedy minds. Robin was known for being an all-around hilarious guy, a family man, and a genuinely kind person.

Through his iconic parts in movies like Mrs. Doubtfire, Aladdin, and Good Morning Vietnam, he won the admiration of fans all around the world.

People who knew him in person observed that he was equally humorous off-camera and that he could make the most of his talent to cheer up those who needed it the most.The adored actor had three marriages and three children.

In June 1976, Williams first met Valeria Velardi. Williams was just a regular San Francisco bartender at the time and wasn’t particularly well-known.

“He was bartending. He had a French accent, offered me a drink, chatted me up and was absolutely delightful,” Valeria said in 2018.

“He asked me for a ride home. He was speaking French and I was teasing him and we had a kiss. And I just knew I was going to see him again”.
