Although he’s been dead since Aug.11, his
cause of death has just been revealed.
His death has been ruled to be suicide
because of depression, Parkinson’s disease
and paranoia, the Marin County, Calif.
coroner announced in a statement Friday,
Nov.7.
In Touch says that according to the newly
released report, the night before Robin passed
away, he placed several wristwatches in a
sock and gave them to someone because he
was worried about their safe keeping.
Alcohol and illegal drugs were not involved in
his death, however, prescription drugs were
found in “therapeutic concentrations” in the
actor’s body, the statement said.
A closed bottle of Seroquel — a drug used to
treat Schizophrenia, bipolar disorders and
depression — was reportedly found near the
actor’s body. It was later determined the he
obtained a prescription for the medication a
week before he died from asphyxia due to
hanging.
The report also noted Robin’s last outgoing
call from his phone was to his wife, Susan
Schneider, at 7:08 p.m. the night before he
died. She told authorities he called because he
was picking up magazines for her at a local
bookstore.
The night before his passing, Robin’s wife
revealed he seemed his usual self. He had
even grabbed his iPad from their closet,
which she deemed to be a good sign because
he hadn’t watched TV or read a book in
approximately six months, the report stated.
The iPad’s web browser allegedly proved to
have several pages open to websites with
information about medications that treat blood
pressure and tremors.
Susan reportedly last saw her husband at
about 10:30 p.m. on Aug. 10 and described his
demeanor as “excited.”
Following his death, she revealed the ‘Mrs.
Doubtfire’ star had been dealing with the
early stages of Parkinson’s disease
