The Paranoid Final Hours Of Robin Williams' Life

The final moments of Robin Williams life have been revealed.

Robin's wife described how her husband stuffed a number of his jewelled watches into a sock before driving to the house of a friend.

 Dr Shepherd says: 'This is a very peculiar incident that his wife describes as typical of the increasing paranoia that he had been suffering.'

Psychologist Anjula Mutanda also says the actor could have felt 'under threat'.

'Somebody experiencing paranoid feelings may fear that they are in danger and under threat,' she says. Whether it is physiological, physical or financial – harm could be coming their way.' 

A post-mortem examination revealed that Williams had been suffering from Lewy body dementia - an undiagnosed illness would could have been the root cause of his bizarre behaviour.

Pathologist Dr Richard Shepherd explains how Williams' dementia probably triggered his paranoid tendencies.

He says that Williams's insomnia and anxiety, as well as periods of confusion and impaired decision making, could also have been connected to the condition.

But Dr Shepherd also says that the actor may well have been aware of his undetected illness, something which could have exacerbated his paranoia in his final hours.

He says that Williams's online activity suggested he knew 'there was something else wrong with him… something that he couldn't put his finger on'.

After Williams's body was found, a bottle of quetiapine, a powerful drug used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, was also found unopened in his bedroom.

He had been prescribed it a week before his death, suggesting his symptoms may have changed.

In the months before his death, Williams had also checked into rehab to 'fine-tune and focus' on his commitment to staying clean. 

Blood samples taken after his death showed he had not taken cocaine or alcohol in the last 24 hours of his life. There was also no sign of damage to his liver from previous drinking binges. 

The show also describes how toxicology reports showed Williams' moods were being controlled by mirtazapine, which is used to treat depressive disorder
