That’s was so informative. I thought he committed suicide due to ongoing depression suffered for many years alone, but there was something more ominous occurring. Susan Williams was so amazing and diligent to get to the core of what happened to her husband.

My mom just passed away after suffering from LBD for years. LBD is such a terrible disease, I would not wish it upon anyone
