One of the last photos ever taken of Robin Williams


Los Angeles - Robin Williams appeared depressed in a restaurant just days before he took his own life.

One of the last ever pictures taken of the tragic comedian shows the Oscar-winner slumped against a wall illuminated by a shaft of light.

The image was snapped at a taco restaurant in Mill Valley, California on the evening of 5 August 2014, as he ate with wife, Susan Schneider.

The casual Mexican eatery is about six miles east of Tiburon, where Williams was found dead in his home on 11 August.

An onlooker said: “He seemed down and he had his hand clutching his chest.

“He didn't attract that much attention from other people because he's often in town. He was with his wife. She had her hand on her forehead and both of them looked pretty serious.

“In hindsight it makes more sense. It's very hard to believe that just a few days later he was dead.”

On the wall next to Williams is a picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Susan has since revealed that the 63-year-old actor was suffering from the early stages of Parkinson's Disease.
