"It has been two years since Robin Williams died, and his widow, Susan Schneider Williams, continues to work to spread awareness of the brain disease that led to his suicide, Lewy Body Disease.
In a heartbreaking essay titled "The Terrorist Inside My Husband's Brain," Susan writes about her late husband's final few months and how the disease that he didn't know he had consumed his life.

Robin Wiliams' widow is a Jew. No wonder why he killed himself. H.P. Lovecraft's wife was a Jew and he was an anti-Semite.
There is a causal connection there.
