Robin Williams was a comedy genius - quick witted and full of vivacious spark and energy.
But in 2013, everything changed when the sharpness and humour that had made the Hook actor a global star suddenly abandoned him. What followed was 12 agonising months of depression, motor disturbances and extreme anxiety as Robin's brain was hijacked by an undiagnosed disease. Then on August 11, 2014 - eight years ago today - Robin took his own life.
Until 2013, everything had been fine. But at a celebration for his two-year wedding anniversary to third wife Susan Schneider, the star complained that 'gut discomfort' was making him anxious.
