Robin Williams' widow has recently opened up about her husband's suicide for the first time.

Susan Williams said the 63-year-old actor-comedian had not only been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease a few months before his death, but signs of Lewy body dementia were also found, reports News.com.au.

She added that Robin's diseases might have contributed to the anxiety and depression that played a major role in his August 2014 suicide.

Susan further said that if the 'Boulevard' star would have been lucky, he would have lived for three more years, but they would have been hard years.

Though there were many reasons why he ended his life, she added that it came down to one that Robin said "no" and she doesn't blame him a bit for his suicide.
