Lewy Body Dementia also accompanies patients with Parkinson's Disease. The condition, however, may be negatively affected by the medicines for Parkinson's.
Shortly after the 'Night at the Museum' actor committed suicide, his wife told officials that he complained about his medicines and the way it made he feel.

An autopsy report released last week confirmed that the actor only had "therapeutic concentrations" of medication in his system.
