      Didn’t he have Lewy Body Dementia? As I understand, depression is a symptom, but the disease is far deeper than that.

          Shit. I didn’t know that. I always thought the dementia lent to the depression.

          Man. What a tragic end. I think I’m going to do a deep dive on his life soon. I have such admiration for him.

            I think the dementia diagnosis lead to his suicide but I think his life-long struggles with depression made him relatable enough to be a comedian that could become successful and not lose that relatability, unlike some one like Jerry Seinfeld.
