“Billy fought a long, hard, brave battle with bipolar depression for years. He did everything he could to control the disease. “He loved his family, his friends and his fans, but in the end the disease won the fight and he gave up his life,” wrote Patricia Miller, in a letter dedicated to all fans.

The woman expressed that “the other causes of death reported are not true,” in reference to an alleged overdose, a hypothesis that was considered in the first hours of hearing the news.

“I wish they were but they just aren’t. We all love him very much and are desperately trying to come to terms with our loss. Thank you for the love and support,” she closed. The actor made the decision shortly before his birthday, which would have been September 17.
