Williams ended his own life rather than face a painfully debilitating and ultimately fatal battle with an extreme case of Lewy body disease. He was 63 years old.
Two years later, his wife, Susan, wrote an article for the American Academy of Neurology, where she discussed Williams’ tragic decline in health. He lived out last days in this home.
The Bedrooms

Williams’ unique, manic brand of rapid-fire, ad-libbed comedy made him one of the world’s most beloved comedians and movie stars.

Williams was a Chicago native but honed his comedy act in San Francisco.
The Closet

One of his first stand-up sets was at the Holy City Zoo, where he “worked his way from behind the bar to the stage,” according to a 1998 Rolling Stone interview.

“This is a user-friendly city. In a way, it seems small. You walk around the corner, go to the store, talk to people. It’s the combination of the people and the place, that’s what I like about it most. I jog on the Marina, no one bothers me. Had a woman come up the other day and say, ‘It’s true, you do run here.’ She couldn’t quite believe it. Like I was Bigfoot,” Williams once said about the city.
The Lounge

This lounge area is a perfect spot to feel the breeze and watch television.
The Study
/granite-web-prod/77/33/77337338068c4b57b52857812237a372.jpeg)
A gorgeous study is likely one of the places where Williams would work and read. He loved Isaac Asimov’s “Foundation” trilogy, he revealed in his last Reddit AMA six years ago.

When asked what he would do if he were trapped inside “Jumanji” again but could only bring three items, he replied: “A machete. Flamethrower! And a nightlight (oh, that's right, I was ten, so maybe I should lose the flamethrower and exchange that for a Ronson lighter).”
The Master Bedroom

Here’s a quote about sleep, from Williams’ comedy special “An Evening at the Met” (via IMDB):
“Here's a little warning sign if you have a cocaine problem: Number one, if you come home to your house and there is no furniture and your cats going "I'm out of here, prick!" WARNING! Number two, if you have this dream, where you’re doing cocaine in your sleep, and you can't fall asleep and doing cocaine in your sleep and can't fall asleep AND YOU WAKE UP and doing cocaine! BINGO! Number three, if on your tax forms, it says ‘50,000 dollars for snacks!’ MAY DAY!”
The Kids' Room

“My children give me a great sense of wonder,” Williams wrote during his Reddit AMA. “Just to see them develop into these extraordinary human beings. And a favorite book as a child? Growing up, it was ‘The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe’ — I would read the whole C.S. Lewis series out loud to my kids. I was once reading to Zelda, and she said, ‘Don't do any voices. Just read it as yourself.’ So I did, I just read it straight, and she said ‘that's better.’”
The Office
/granite-web-prod/0f/c1/0fc17b0d7b124a9ca7c96e2b59279900.jpeg)
The office looks like a wonderful place to listen to music. Here’s who Williams’ said were his favorite bands:
“To be honest, I'm kind of challenged in terms of new music. I listen to a lot of jazz, specifically Keith Jarrett piano solos. And for me, if you want just wonderful ballads and love songs, Tom Waits. I might also have to throw in Radiohead, but I can't quote specific lyrics. AND PRINCE! For those special nights.”

When asked what the most valuable thing he learned during the filming of “What Dreams May Come,” Williams replied on Reddit:
“That every moment in life is precious? That the gifts of your relationships with others, don't miss it. That was one of the hardest movies I think I ever did in my whole career. Every day was literally hell, because of the nature of the subject matter, dealing with death and being in hell literally.
When I watched the final movie, I felt it was extraordinarily beautiful but I felt disappointed by the ending. There was a different ending that they shot that I felt was much more true to the story. It was about reincarnation, basically, that they were going to meet again. The movie ended with two babies being born simultaneously, one in Bombay and one in the United States, and they held them up, and then the screen went to black. I don't know if it's anywhere.”

The deck and pool area looks like a great place to throw parties. Williams was a recovered alcoholic, but he spun his struggles into a positive. ”They really made me appreciate human contact. And the value of friends and family, how precious that is,” he told Reddit.

When asked the key to life, he responded, “Once again: family and friends. And a good pet. For pure loyalty there is nothing like a pug.”
