Robin Williams was in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease when he took his own life this week, according to his widow.
“Robin’s sobriety was intact and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxiety as well as early stages of Parkinson’s disease, which he was not yet ready to share publicly,” Williams’s wife, Susan Schneider, said in an e-mailed statement.
