Robin Windsor's Death: New Update Surfaces

On Wednesday, February 21, the Daily Mail exclusively reported the new update about Windsor's shocking passing, revealing he was found dead in an undisclosed London hotel.

According to the report, Windsor - who had struggled with his mental health for a long time - faced a troubling incident during New Year before his scheduled performance on a cruise in South Africa. However, he was found dead in a hotel days after returning to London.

Windsor's cause of death has yet to be confirmed, but his friends seemingly hinted he may have died by suicide.

"Robin wasn't just my dance partner, he was a friend and together we shared endless experiences from our career highlights to hitting rock bottom of rejection. Many of you, who went to see his farewell tour, know perfectly well that he spoke very openly about his mental health struggles and thoughts of suicide," Windsor's "Strictly Come Dancing" costar Kristina Rihanoff said.

This seemingly resonated with one of Windsor's final posts, dated January 4, in which he thanked everyone who reached out to him when he was having a trying time.

A few weeks later, he shared a quote from Dr. Thema Bryant that spoke about trauma.

"Trauma teaches you to expect and accept the bare minimum. In this new season, may you adjust your standards and learn to receive the maximum. You are worthy. You are enough. You deserve overflow," the quote read.
