      There are two movies (that I know of) about him and bis battle with dementia:

      Back in Black Choosing to die

      They are… heavy, but also deeply moving. Especially the second one.

        @Khaliso I may have to wait some time after my mom’s battle with her dementia. Right now, it’s too close. But, sounds like very important film work.

        We know that millions of people are dealing with this, including caregivers. Highly visible celebs like Pratchett, Gene Hackman, and Bruce Willis, give us a sense of how pervasive it is. Robin Williams did not want to put his family through it. I can kind of understand that decision now.
