Robin Williams Death: Daughter Zelda And Siblings To Receive ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ Actor’s Estate Worth $50 Million, Dementia Played ‘Key Role’ In Comedian’s Suicide

Following Robin Williams' death in August, his three children will reportedly receive his estate worth $50 million. The will, which was dated January 31, 2011, primarily focused on the needs of Williams' children - Zachary, 31, Zelda, 25, and Cody, 22.

Daily Mail reports that Robin Williams' will has been recently filed in a court in California. Apart from his three children, an undisclosed portion of his properties will also be allotted to his third wife, Susan Schneider.

His will indicated that everything in their prenuptial agreement must be followed: "I direct the Executor of this Will and the Trustee of the Trust...to fulfill my obligations under that certain prenuptial agreement with Susan dated September 28, 2011"'

The "Good Will Hunting" actor committed suicide by tying a belt around his neck and hanging himself between a closet door and the bedroom's door. Robin Williams' autopsy and toxicology tests suggest that the actor was sober when he passed away.

However, the "Dead Poets Society" star reportedly battled with depression and paranoia which were effects of Lewy Body Dementia. TMZ's sources claim that LBD played a key factor in Williams' suicide.

LBD is a condition commonly interchanged with Parkinson's. People affected by LBD often gets hallucinations. Schneider also said that her husband was displeased with how the medicines made him feel.

Schneider urges others who are experiencing the same thing to come out and seek help:

"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. It is our hope in the wake of Robin's tragic passing, that others will find the strength to seek the care and support they need to treat whatever battles they are facing so they may feel less afraid," shared Schneider following husband's death."
