TMZ has obtained documents showing Williams was struggling with the disease, which is marked by 

abnormal protein deposits in the brain that disrupt normal function. 

Lewy Body Dementia is a common condition associated with Parkinson's ... and people afflicted by both 

often get severe side effects from Parkinson's meds. Hallucinations are common, where patients see 

phantom objects, people or animals. The patients often try to converse with the illusions.

Robin's wife had told authorities shortly after his death he had been complaining about the meds and the 

way they made him feel.

Sources connected with the Williams family tell TMZ ... Lewy Body Dementia was the "key factor" they 

believe drove him to kill himself. We're told Robin's doctors agree that the disease was the critical factor 

leading to his suicide.
