Most moms will agree pregnancy and labor can be a scary time and all you want is to deliver a healthy baby, kicking and screaming.

But one mom was faced with the unthinkable when her baby boy was born with medical issues that left him on a ventilator.

Lisa Hough shared an image of her sweet baby grandson born to her daughter Chelsea and also shared the unthinkable tough decision that her daughter had been faced with.

The mom of three and nana of two said her grandson Karson had been born with many medical complications.

“The only way to describe what has happened is that this beautiful baby boy has suffered two very rare traumatic conditions that are completely unrelated to one another,” Nana Lisa shared on her Facebook page.

Karson got his picc line removed today and had his first real bath tonight. Then afterwards, we had a little photo…

She added her newborn baby grandson had suffered a “hemorrhage in the left temporal lobe” and had also been diagnosed with a rare, genetic, metabolic disorder called Non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).

“His case is presented as severe and would cause him to be severely neurologically impaired – functioning at a 2-3 month old level at best for his lifetime,” Lisa wrote.

Karson is officially 1 month old and we celebrated with balloons and snuggles! Karson has been reduced from 1 liter of…

His mom, given all the information from the medical staff around her, made the incredibly tough decision to take him off life support.

Lisa wrote of the heartbreaking moment they had to say goodbye to their sweet little one.

“While we weren’t ready to say goodbye to Karson, we had come to terms with the inevitable. We were given 10 minutes after withdrawing intensive care and the ventilator and told he would not breath on his own and to expect his heart to stop within those 10 minutes.”

Karson is officially off oxygen and is maintaining his saturation. He is now able to regulate and maintain his own body…

But, according to Lisa, it seemed “God had other plans” and said she and her daughter witnessed a miracle.

“He immediately started breathing on his own once the ventilator was removed, heart rate and oxygen stabilized, and here we are 5 hours later with this miracle baby that we were told would never breath, swallow, have gag reflexes, or even survive. He is breathing unassisted.

“He is swallowing. He is surviving. He even has slightly opened his eyes a couple times today.”

She said his doctors had no explanation for what happened saying no medical or science data supports this little fighter surviving; the only explanation they have is that it’s a miracle.

Today, we witnessed a miracle!! While we weren’t ready to say goodbye to Karson, we had come to terms with the…

“I’m not sure why I ever thought we were so underserving of a miracle…and I’m not sure how long we have with him, but we have him now. And now we will take,” Lisa wrote.

Finally, on March 1, she and her family were given the joyous news that their tiny bundle of joy would be coming home that week.

“Every day, I am brought to my knees, and just when I think God is done, I am quickly reminded that he isn’t….I have no words for my gratitude and I will praise Him for as long as I have air in my lungs for giving Karson his,” Lisa wrote.

From her very first post, commenters were fully supportive of the journey, celebrating the survival of Karson with more than 30,000 reactions to the post announcing the wonderful news that Karson survived and is thriving.

An influencer fired up the online community when she shared a TikTok post saying that she’s just “too pretty” for the daily grind of work.

Calling her “shallow” and “entitled,” netizens were furious over the suggestion that employment is reserved for a population of un-pretty people.

Lucy Welcher, a social media influencer with almost 20 million likes, recently broadcast a clip that created a viral storm.

The young blonde, who admits she’s “the worst type of person…who cannot handle getting their own way,” is frequently seen in videos where she’s sitting in her car, sipping an iced coffee or boasting over a haul from one of her favorite stores.

On November 8, 2022, the now 20-year-old shared a TikTok post that she captioned, “Not my thing [laughing emoji] #working #scam.”

“I do not want to work for the rest of my life. Does it look like I want to get up at 6 a.m. every f**king day for the next 60 years? No! I’m too pretty for that!” she said in the nine-second clip.

Viewers were quick to offer their comments, many slamming the content creator for being “lazy” and “entitled.”

“Boy I wish I had your confidence, the same confidence to feel like I’m better looking than I actually am. God you people are so shallow and in love with yourselves,” writes one TikToker.

“Someone’s entitled,” another blasted. “I hope you get humbled girl, you need it. Looks have nothing to do with working and it’s sad you have that mentality.”

A third cybernaut sniped, “How about trying to be an adult instead of a privileged princess expecting life to be handed to you?”

‘Slandered’

Responding to user comments by deleting the controversial clip, Welcher – who says people failed to see it as “a joke” – shared a new post where she explains she’s being “slandered all over social media for that video I posted.”

Spiked with sarcasm, the TikTok star proceeds to review and correct some online stories, where she denies owning “class vehicles,” or earning $100,000USD each year. Welcher also reveals she’s Canadian, and says the claim that she lives in a mansion “is hilarious…because my house is literally falling apart.”

‘Remake’

Days later, on November 14, Welcher – who found the attention entertaining – shared a new clip, where she’s again seen sipping on her iced coffee.

Captioned, “Remake of the most hated video I’ve ever made,” Welcher repeats the script from her deleted “I’m too pretty” video.

This time, the majority of online users rallied behind her, understanding her earlier message was intended as humor

“You’re 100% correct, getting up early going to work will spoil your good looks,” shares one.

A second writes, “This video and the first one gave me life.”

Another, a champion for pretty people, pens, “You are too pretty for that. Those are just the hard cold facts of life.”

Movie legend and Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly’s granddaughter is all grown up and has inherited her famous grandmother’s beauty.

The Hollywood film star was never off the screen during the 1950s but despite only having a six-year career, it was prolific.

Grace Kelly was once one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood and entered the world of performing when she was 20, appearing in New York City theatrical productions.

After that, she embarked on a busy TV career during the Golden Age of Television. All the actresses of that era had so much poise, class and were just stunning – Grace Kelly was perhaps the most beautiful.

The Philadelphia-born star, who was the epitome of class and beauty, also appeared in many movies between 1952 and 1956, including adventure romance Mogambo alongside Clark Gable and Ava Gardner, which earned her a Golden Globe for best supporting actress.

The following year she appeared in The Country Girl with Bing Crosby and won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Among the 11 movies she starred in over the course of just five years, the most notable were the comedy musical High Society starring alongside Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra and three Alfred Hitchcock movies Dial M for Murder;  Rear Window; and To Catch a Thief with Cary Grant.

But the successful actress retired from the big screen at just 26 years old to marry Prince Rainier III and become Princess of Monaco.

In just 6 years, this much-loved starlet had made 11 successful movies, won two Golden Globes and Academy Award, and married a prince.

Her marriage to such a high-profile member of royalty meant she couldn’t continue her acting career. Instead, she went on to have three children Caroline, Princess of Hanover, Albert II, Prince of Monaco and Princess Stéphanie and focused on her philanthropic work.

Sadly, Grace Kelly was killed in a car accident after suffering a stroke and losing control of her vehicle.

Her youngest daughter Stephanie, who was 17 at the time, was in the car with her and thankfully survived. Kelly was just 52 when she died.

Her three children went on to have 11 children who all seem to have inherited their grandmother’s style and elegance.

One of her youngest grandchildren, Camille Gottlieb, is the 24-year-old daughter of Grace Kelly’s youngest child Princess Stephanie of Monaco and Jean-Raymond Gottlieb.

The Monaco resident has two older half-siblings, her half-sister Pauline Ducruet also looks like her beautiful grandmother.

But Camille has inherited her grandmother’s blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, and there is no doubt who she is related to when she wears red lipstick.

She’s not eligible for the Monegasque throne as her parents weren’t married when she was born, in fact, her father’s identity was kept secret for a while, according to Town & Country magazine.

Her Instagram account, followed by almost 95,000 people, is full of images of Camille looking like her iconic grandmother.

Alain Delon is arguably one of Europe’s most instantly recognizable faces.

The legendary French actor, now 87 years old, is also a producer and director, boasting an enviable career spanning over half a century…

Yet to ask him, his proudest achievement might be his three children. Hard is might be to believe, one of his sons is now all grown up, and has inherited his famous dad’s gorgeous looks …

 

Alain Delon is undoubtedly one of the most adored and sought-after faces of the history of cinema.

Thanks to his signature piercing blue eyes and natural French charm, Delon made an entire generation dream.

Indeed, he continues to do so today, successfully captivating new generations and reminding the world just why he’s been able to remain relevant and much-loved over so many years.

Alain Delon – Early days

The superstar was born on November 8, 1935 in the French town of Sceaux, in the Hauts-de-Seine, the area covering Paris inner suburbs.

After his parents’ divorce, his mom sent Alain to live with a foster family. Later, he would spend his adolescent years attending different boarding schools and institutions.

He then finally decided to enlist in the French Navy and was subsequently sent to serve in Indochina.

Upon returning to France, he worked in a variety of different jobs including as a bellboy, clerk, and waiter, before choosing to move to Rome.

Among his first successful movie was 1958’s Be Beautiful But Shut Up with legendary French actor Jean Paul Belmondo.

That same year he played in Christine, where he met Austrian sensation actress Romy Schneider, with whom he would have a relationship that was loved by the public. Purple Noon, a 1960 adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Talented Mr Ripley, was lauded by critics and credited as Alain’s first major role.

Alain Delon – European success

Delon began to achieve global stardom in the early 1960s after a fateful encounter with Italian neorealistic director Luchino Visconti, who chose Alain as the main character in 1960’s Rocco and his Brothers. The film became an instant hit worldwide.

Not only that, but Delon’s celebrated work with Visconti paved the way for a series of collaborations with renowned Italian directors.

In 1962, he played alongside Italian actress Monica Vitti in The Eclipse, under the direction of acclaimed Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni. For his role, he won the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes festival, and was nominated for the Palme d’Or.

Further international success arrived thanks to his part in the 1963 epic drama The Leopard, once again directed by Visconti. In The Leopard he plays Prince Tancredi Falconeri, the nephew of an aging Sicilian nobleman (played by Burt Lancaster) caught up in the mid-19th century sociopolitical turmoil of the Italian unification.

In the main, the 1960s were marked by Delon’s attempt to make it big in the US; the desirable market for any European actor of that time.

Alain Delon – US

Often typecast as the stereotypical Latin Lover because of his French accent and European looks, Delon landed some small parts in movies The Yellow Rolls-Royce (1965), which also starred Shirley MacLaine.

After signing with Columbia, Alain appeared in the action film Lost Command (1966), playing a member of the French Foreign Legion alongside Anthony Quinn and Claudia Cardinale. He then starred in a Western, Texas Across the River, opposite Dean Martin. Unfortunately, his work in Hollywood did not bring the French sensation the American stardom he was hoping for.

As a result, he decided to return to France, where he featured in another big hit as hitman Frank Costello in Le Samouraï (1967). Delon’s performance was a game-changer, going on to define the standard for playing fascinating tough characters.

Later in the 1970s, Delon continued taking roles in the noir/detective genre, appearing in, among others, The Sicilian Clan, Borsalino and Le Cercle Rouge. Interestingly enough, it was 1975’s Zorro that allowed European cinema to be known in Communist China (this was one of the first Western movies shown in the country after the Cultural Revolution), Japan and Latin America.

Alain Delon – Relationships

Needless to say, like many celebrities who have been in the spotlight for generations, Alain Delon’s love life has often been at the center of attention.

After the end of his brief, yet intense five-year relationship with Romy Schneider, Delon decided to marry actress Nathalie Delon in 1964, welcoming a son, Anthony, that same year. The two stayed married until 1969.

Anthony has followed in his dad’s steps and is himself an actor these days.

Later, Delon had relationships with actresses Mireille Darc and Anne Parillaud. In the 1980s, he began a two-decade long relationship with Dutch model Rosalie van Breemen.

From this relationship he had two more children: a daughter, Anouchka Delon (born in 1990), and another son, Alain-Fabien Delon (born in 1994).

All of his children seem to have inherited their dad’s elegant yet effortless beauty.

This is particularly evident with regards to his youngest son, Alain-Fabien, now 28, who is identical to his legendary father

Alain-Fabien – dad Alain’s copy

Alain-Fabien, as well as having the same name as his dad, also shares the same profession.

He’s an actor too, and has been in movies including Savage Days (2021), Fabio Montale (2001) and Ultra Pure.

One look at Alain-Fabien and it’s clear that he has gotten his dad’s compelling, intense blue eyes.

He even shows the same facial expressions that made his father an icon.

We just can’t help but see the striking resemblance he bears to his dad!

Children do not always understand the repercussions of following trends they discover online, not knowing that sometimes they can actually be deadly.

This family is undergoing the most heartbreaking tragedy because of something that happened to their little boy. Now they are warning others. Keep reading to know more…

An 11-year-old boy is being mourned by his family after passing away in connection with a terribly dangerous trend on social media. Now, the family wants to warn others and urge parents to talk to their children so that no one else falls victim to the same thing.

A worrying trend among young people on TikTok led to the death of 11-year-old Tommie-Lee Billington from Lancaster, England.

This comes after two teenage girls also lost their lives when participating in the same “challenge” on the app, reports The Sun.

It all started when 11-year-old Tommie was at a friend’s house for a sleepover on Saturday. The boys then “huffed” after seeing a challenge on the TikTok app.

This involves inhaling dangerous gases or solvents that cause a high. Examples include dry shampoo, spray deodorant, and glue.

After Tommie and his friend decided to participate in the trend on TikTok, the boy’s heart stopped immediately. According to medical staff, he died instantly. Now, the family is mourning the tragic passing of the 11-year-old.

His mother, Sherry, has urged other parents to talk to their children and stop their children from using TikTok. She took her plea to Facebook, writing, “This cost my son his life from trying something other kids are doing. Please talk to your children about the consequences of this. It is beyond me why anyone would even try this! It’s so dangerous!”

“I have never felt pain like this. My whirlwind. I just love you so much mate. My baby boy. You will forever be in my heart. I will make sure to the best of my ability that your name and your beautiful face will become the reason that other children’s lives will be saved and other families don’t have to suffer this deep, deep hurt,” she writes on her Facebook page.

The newspaper cites royal expert and former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown as having put forward the idea that the Prince and Princess of Wales are perhaps not as enthused by the notion of ascending the throne just now as some people might believe.

Following King Charles’ shock cancer diagnosis back in January, William has been forced to step into his father’s role. Kate, meanwhile, will take on a more active hand in things once she is well enough to do so.

And while one might rightly assume that William has been groomed for the position of King ever since he was born, it would appear that the prospect is giving him cause for concern.

As per The Independent, Tina Brown said: “News of Charles’s cancer has put William and Catherine in frightening proximity to ascending the throne … The prospect of it, I am told, is causing them intense anxiety.”

Charles himself only took over from the late Queen Elizabeth in 2022 (having waited longer than any other heir apparent in British history), but released a statement in late January 2024 confirming that he had been diagnosed with cancer following a routine operation on an enlarged prostate.

Since then the King has been traveling back and forth between London and the royal estate of Sandringham, alternating between cancer treatment (which he receives in the capital) and time for rest and recovery.

Yet word of his sickness – and all that it might mean – was largely overshadowed by the mysterious circumstances regarding Kate Middleton after her “planned abdominal procedure”, which also took place in January.

Following almost three months of conjecture and intense speculation, the Princess of Wales too admitted that she had been diagnosed with cancer, much to the shock of royal fans around the world.

In the wake of the respective health issues experienced by Charles and Kate, the likes of Queen Camilla and Prince William have been forced to take on more responsibility with regards to their roles within the royal setup.

Reports have implied that the situation is taking a toll on Prince William, who is obviously of a mind to prioritize caring for his wife. Yet depending on how things go for King Charles, the Prince of Wales may be thrust into an even more central role sooner rather than later.

As for Kate, she’s expected to return to engagements when she’s feeling up to it. Kensington Palace initially proposed a timeline that said the Princess would be back in action after Easter, but that was long before it was announced that she was suffering from cancer.

Cole Brings Plenty, a beloved actor known for his roles in the classic Westerns “Into the Wild Frontier,” and “The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger” has died. His untimely demise has sent shockwaves through the entertainment community and among fans worldwide.

 

Don Lemon has made headlines recently, and not all of them were good for him. Now, it seems all is right, as the television host has tied the knot! Keep reading to learn more about what his wedding was like!

Don Lemon married his longtime fiancé, Tim Malone. The couple tied the knot on Saturday night, and the ceremony was attended by major stars from across Hollywood! His husband, Malone, is a real estate agent.

The gorgeous ceremony was held at Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. The couple has been engaged for the last five years. They announced their engagement on Instagram. The two of them met in 2017.

Lemon began his career as a weekend news anchor for WBRC in Birmingham, Alabama. Lemon began his career with CNN in 2006 and finally parted ways with the network in 2023 after he was fired. His contract went on till 2026, but he was fired by the network, and he later went on to say how he felt that the network had failed him as a person.

The former CNN host married his husband in a beautiful suit and bow tie with a velvet jacket; his groom wore the same thing. Their two dogs were also present at the ceremony.

The ceremony was officiated by the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield.

There were other major names on the attendee list, including Matt Lauer, Jeff Zucker, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin, and more! The couple really had a star-studded event.

After the ceremony, the married couple and their guests all headed from the church to the Ralph Lauren Polo bar for the reception. It seems all their guests had a wonderful time at the wedding!

In 2010, Sandra Bullock received a phone call that changed her life forever. “Your placement is here,” said the voice on the other end.

A few weeks later, she was on a stage, accepting her first Oscar for her appearance in The Blind Side, but she didn’t care she was there. “All I wanted was to go was just go home and feed Lou” she said of her newborn, whom she had been waiting for years to arrive.

Keep reading to learn more about this incredible actor and what inspired her to adopt two children!

In 2005, after Hurricane Katrina devastated Louisiana by flooding its grounds, Sandra Bullock had a feeling that inspired her decision to adopt a child.

“Katrina happened in New Orleans, and something told me, ‘My child is there.’ It was weird,” Bullock said in an interview with Today’s  Hoda Kotb.

Years later, in January 2010, Bullock received the call she had been waiting years to receive.

“He was unexpected, he was not planned. I got a call one day, ‘Your placement is here,’ and that’s after years after having filed it, years,” the 59-year-old star of Speed tells CBS News.

Little Lou

Gushing over Louis Bardo Bullock, the three-month-old boy from New Orleans she secretly adopted in 2010, Bullock said, “I looked at him like, ‘Oh, there you are.’ It was like he had always been there,” she recalled. “He fit in the crook of my arm. He looked me in the eyes. He was wise. My child was wise.”

The Miss Congeniality star adds, “The beautiful thing that I was constantly told was, ‘The perfect child will find you. You will find your child.’ But you don’t believe that when it’s not happening. When you’re going, ‘Where is my family?’ When it does happen, you know exactly what they’re talking about.”

Weeks after Lou arrived, Bullock was on stage at the Kodiak Theatre, accepting her first Oscar for her starring role in the film, The Blind Side.

But Lou owned her center stage and she wanted to be at home, with him.

“All I kept thinking about was, ‘He’s at home.’ Like, I didn’t care. I didn’t care that I was there, I just wanted to go home. And then I was sewn in the dress. I was sewn in the dress, and I had to get myself out of the dress, but all I wanted to do was just go home and feed Lou.”

Only days after, her marriage to reality star Jesse James came crashing down and Bullock became a single mother to an infant.

Bullock said, “I mean, so much had happened. How do you process grief and not hurt your child in the process? It’s a newborn, they take on everything that you’re feeling. So, my obligation was to [Lou] and not tainting the first year of his life with my grief.”

‘Louis’ got the stage’

“No one understands the shift in priorities about having a child in your life … until you have a child in your life,” Bullock said of shifting her focus from career to mom. “It naturally shifts…he showed up and now, Louis’ got the stage.”

Growing up in a healthy, happy environment, little Lou one day looked up at mom and predicted “I’m going to have a baby soon.”

Though Bullock admits she wasn’t planning on growing her family, she listened to her son, who planted the seed.

“I realized at that time, maybe he knew something. And when I think about it, it would have been around the time that Laila was born,” Bullock said. “It’s Louis’ way. Louis has a very strong way. He’s a fine leader, and he led me to Lai.”

Laila, who was living in foster care in Louisiana, is her daughter who joined the family in 2015 when she was three.

Recalling Laila’s trauma from being in childcare, the Ocean’s 8 star said, “She’d be in the closet with all her clothes on, she’d be on a bookshelf, she’d be hiding, she’d always be ready to leave,” the actress recalled of her daughter, adding that she always made sure Laila knew that she wasn’t “going anywhere.”

She then shared a conversation she had about Laila with Bryan Randall, the father figure to her children, and her partner from 2015 until ALS claimed his life in 2023. She said, “My partner said to me, ‘When she’s been with us longer than she hasn’t been, I have a feeling we’re going to see a change.’”

He was right. Recently, Bullock described Laila as “unafraid.”

“She’s a fighter, and that’s the reason she’s here today. She fought to keep her spirit intact. Oh my God, what she is going to accomplish. She’s going to bring some real change.”

Lou, now 13, “is super sensitive…He’s wise and kind,” the Bird Box star tells People. “I saw that when they handed him to me. There was a spiritual bigness to him.”

Though fans will be disappointed, the versatile actor is scaling back her work schedule to again be a single mother.

Bullock last appeared in 2022’s The Lost City with Channing Tatum and Bullet Train with Brad Pitt.

“I can be creative, I can be part of a community, but right now, work in front of the camera needs to take a pause,” she said.

It’s been more than seven years since Robin Williams’s tragic passing, but the larger-than-life comedian’s spirit and legacy carry on in our hearts. 

Williams’s death rocked the whole world; many believed that depression and drug abuse were behind his decision to end his life. 

But, in fact, it turns out there was something else entirely behind Robin Williams’s tragic death. That’s why Robin’s widow, Susan Schneider Williams, decided to reveal the truth about what really killed her husband.

The world lost one of the greatest comic minds in 2014 when iconic funnyman Robin Williams died. Robin had a reputation for being a genuinely lovely person, a family man, and an all-around funny guy. Fans worldwide revered his talent through his classic roles in films like Good Morning Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire and Aladdin.

Those who knew him in real life saw that he was just as funny off-camera—and that he could use his gift to bring joy to people when they needed him most.

Marriages and kids

The beloved actor was married three times and had three kids.

Williams met his first wife, Valeria Velardi, in June 1976. Back then, Williams wasn’t famous, and worked as a simple bartender in San Francisco.

“He was bartending. He had a French accent, offered me a drink, chatted me up and was absolutely delightful,” Valeria said in 2018.

“He asked me for a ride home. He was speaking French and I was teasing him and we had a kiss. And I just knew I was going to see him again”.

The couple tied the knot in 1978, and welcomed a son, Zack, in 1983.

In 1988, Williams and Valeria separated. There were rumors that the actor had an affair with his son’s nanny, Marsha Garces – but Valeria has since denied this. That said, following the divorce, Williams married Marsha.

In 1989, the couple walked down the aisle while she was pregnant.

Robin and Marsha had two kids together, Zelda (born in 1989) and Cody (born in 1991). Unfortunately, Robin’s second marriage was also destined to end badly. After citing irreconcilable differences, Marsha filed for divorce in 2008.

Robin Williams & Susan Schneider

Then, three years after his second divorce, Robin met his soulmate, Susan Schneider. She first saw the famous comedian at a local Apple store in late 2007, where they shared a short conversation.

“I walked in and saw this man and I thought: ‘I think that’s Robin Williams. ‘ Then on my way out I happened to look at him again and he was smiling at me and something inside me said: ‘Oh, just go over and say hi’, Susan said.

They tied the knot in 2011. The ceremony was held at the Meadowood luxury resort in Napa Valley, California.

Around 120 guests were invited to the modest wedding – mostly family, close friends, and neighbors.

Robin and Susan had a strong picture of how they wanted their special day to be. No big stars were present, and it was a far cry from the flashiness and glamour one might usually associate with celebrity weddings in Hollywood.

Robin and Susan also created their own vows. Robin made sure that his brother and mother – who had passed away by this point – were honored during the ceremony. The actor asked that the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi be read aloud by the minister.

”The wedding day was very beautiful – they were very much in love and very quiet. Both Robin and Susan were very actively involved with the preparation of the ceremony,” the minister who married the lovebirds told Daily Mail in 2014.

Robin and Susan lived in the exclusive Sea Cliff neighborhood of San Francisco Bay. The Mediterranean contemporary style 7,170-square-foot house had a magnificent view of the water, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Marin Headlands.

From the outside, it looked like Robin and Susan were very happy and had everything – but today, we know that their relationship was tested as Robin wrestled with his inner demons.

His declining health also affected his professional career. For example, Williams had trouble memorizing single lines while filming Night at the Museum 3, his final on-screen film appearance in 2014. Robin, known for memorizing hundreds of lines and delivering outstanding performances, didn’t understand why he suddenly couldn’t learn simple lines.

“Robin was losing his mind and he was aware of it,” Schneider Williams explained in 2016.

“Can you imagine the pain he felt as he experienced himself disintegrating? And not from something he would ever know the name of, or understand? Neither he, nor anyone could stop it – no amount of intelligence or love could hold it back.”

Though Robin had his issues, Susan was always there for her husband, and the couple were very open with each other. They often discussed their successes, setbacks, and biggest fears; their friendship and love grew stronger with each passing year.

Unfortunately, Susan did not have all the facts on the table, and did not fully understand why her soulmate was struggling. In many ways, Susan was powerless, but during Robin’s last months, the couple still managed to share some bright and beautiful moments.

Shortly before his passing, the struggling actor was misdiagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, which led to more questions, frustration, and dark thoughts circling in Robin’s head.

Doctors had given Robin just three years to live.

“What he was going through didn’t match one to one [with] many Parkinson’s patient’s experiences. So, I think that was hard for him,” Robin Williams’ son Zak said in Max Lugavere’s “The Genius Life” podcast.

“There was a focus issue that frustrated him; there were issues associated with how he felt, and also from a neurological perspective, he didn’t feel great. He was very uncomfortable.”

It wasn’t until after his death that the whole truth would emerge, and the world got to glimpse what Robin was battling. Three months after the legendary comedian passed, the coroner’s report was released.

The report showed that Robin had long struggled with a form of dementia called Lewy body dementia before he passed in August 2014.

In her first interview since her husband passed, Robin’s widow decided to speak up and tell the public about what really killed her husband.

“Lewy body dementia killed Robin. It’s what what took his life. Depression was a small piece of the pie of what was going on… really, what was overriding that more than depression was anxiety. And the anxiety was huge,” she said.

Doctors described how the late actor must have been going through hell during the last months of his life. His form of Lewy body dementia was one of the most devastating cases doctors had ever seen.

“Lewy body dementia is a devastating illness. It’s a killer. It is fast, it’s progressive,” Dr. Bruce Miller, director Memory and Aging at the University of California San Francisco, told Today.

When she finally learned about her husband’s condition, Susan was able to put together many missing pieces and better understand why Robin acted as he did.

“I was relieved it had a name. Robin and I had gone through this experience together, really being chased by an invisible monster. And it was like whack-a-mole with the symptoms. I left there with a name of the disease, the thing that Robin and I had been searching for,” she said.

Robin Williams cause of death

On August 11, 2014, Robin Williams was found dead in his bedroom at his house in Paradise Cay, California. The cause of death was asphyxia by hanging, according to the Marin County Sheriff’s Office.

In 2015, tears flooded down Susan’s cheeks as she recalled her last conversation with her husband during an emotional interview.

A week before his death, Robin planned to check into a facility for neurocognitive testing.

On the evening before his death, Robin asked Susan if she wanted a foot massage. Susan, of course, couldn’t have anticipated what was about to happen and declined the offer.

She’ll never forget his gaze and sad eyes.

Then he left. He came back into the room a couple of times and said, “Good night, my love,” to which Susan replied, “Good night, my love.”

They were his last words to her, and her last to him.

In later interviews, Susan explained that she has forgiven Robin and doesn’t blame him for ending his life. She knew he didn’t have that many years left, and that those would have been hard years.

When first responders arrived at the house and tried to save her husband that dreadful day, she was there by his side.

“And I just wanted to see my husband. And I got to see him … and I got to pray with him. And I got to tell him, ‘I forgive you 50 billion percent, with all my heart. You’re the bravest man I’ve ever known.’ You know, we were living a nightmare,” Susan said.

Robin Williams funeral

It’s unclear if Robin’s family held a private funeral for him, but we do know that his body was cremated at Monte’s Chapel of the Hills in San Anselmo.

On August 21, his ashes were scattered over San Francisco Bay. The actor had lived in the area for almost 50 years and loved the place; it was there he felt most at peace.
