Experiencing the elusive death of the affable and omnipotent virtuoso was a sequence of grief and pain for the entire country. Due to his diagnosed depression and detected dementia, Williams was no longer suitable to pursue life here on Earth. This caused him to end it and to abandon his transitory dream of acting. Williams is considered a modern tragic hero, as he possessed traits that were admired by millions, proved to be passionate about the people who looked up to him, but did not manage to hold his life together, bringing it all to an end.
