We’ll never know for sure why Robin Williams killed himself.
People want to find a reason to explain this tragic loss, but we can never get inside someone else’s head.
But fellow comedian and longtime friend Rob Schneider thinks he knows exactly where to lay the blame- on drugs.
No, he doesn’t think Robin fell off the wagon. Rob believes prescription drugs to treat Parkinson’s were the cause of Robin’s sudden depression. He tweeted:
Now that we can talk about it. #RobinWilliams was on a drug treating the symptoms of Parkinson's. One of the SIDE-EFFECTS IS SUICIDE!

There are several prescription drugs that come with the warning “May cause suicidal thoughts or actions.” Could medicine really be what caused this?
We know Robin had been suffering from depression for quite a while.
While we can’t really disprove Rob’s theory, there will unfortunately never be a way to prove it either.
All we can say is, please be VERY mindful of all the side-effects of your medication.
