In August past year, Robin Williams was found dead after the actor hung himself at his home in Marin Mounty in Northern California.

In the interview, Susan also shares never-before-seen home movies of the Oscar victor and recalls her initial reactions to his death. “I just screamed, ‘Robin, what happened?”

“I feel like Robin’s voice has been heard and I can finally grieve in the home we shared together”, Susan said in a statement to Reuters from her lawyer James Wagstaffe at Kerr & Wagstaffe LLP.

“It’s the best love I ever dreamed of”, Schneider says in a promo for the upcoming interview. “As he is remembered”, she said, “it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin’s death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions”.

Susan’s full interview will be airing on Good Morning America next Tuesday 3 November (15) and more footage reaches viewers later the same day on Nightline.

The particular question that made her break down was about her Robin Williams’ “struggle with his own demons”.

Williams also left behind three grown children-Zak, Zelda and Cody-from his two marriages.
