Two years after the August 11, 2014 death of her husband, beloved comedy legend Robin Williams, Susan Schneider Williams has penned an essay in the prestigious medical journal Neurology, describing the painful final year of his life. Titled “The Terrorist Inside My Husband’s Brain,” the essay describes in detail the steady accumulation of symptoms—anxiety, memory loss, delusions, paralysis, and more—that accompanied Williams’ onset of Lewy body disease. (Originally diagnosed as Parkinson’s in 2013.)
Williams describes, in depth, the toll the disease took on her husband, and the ways it made it impossible for him to control his anxiety and irrational fears. “Once the coroner’s report was reviewed, a doctor was able to point out to me that there was a high concentration of Lewy bodies within the amygdala. This likely caused the acute paranoia and out-of-character emotional responses he was having. How I wish he ...

Robin Williams' three children have settled their legal dispute with the late actor's widow over Williams' estimated $100 million estate. The agreement, which still requires a judge's approval, ends a bitter eight-month feud between the two parties that found them arguing over real estate property as well as personal items like photographs, over 50 bicycles, fossils, toys and his awards, including Williams' Good Will Hunting Best Supporting Actor Academy Award, six Golden Globes, two Emmys and five Grammys. As part of the agreement, his children will retain the awards, the Los Angeles Times reports.
