  • Hallucinations from Parkinson's Meds Likely Contributed to Robin Williams Suicide

    Three months after Robin Williams committed suicide, we are learning much more about what likely caused him to take such drastic measures. His autopsy results were released to the public last week, and they revealed that the actor had no alcohol or illegal drugs in his system at the time of his death.

His wife Susan Schneider later attributed his depression to a recent diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease.

Patients may see phantom people, animals or objects, and they often try to converse with the hallucinations.
