Here’s the latest I can share about Duncan Robinson’s brother:
Duncan Robinson’s brother, Eli Robinson, died by suicide in April 2025 at age 31. This has been reported by multiple outlets and was cited in May 2025 coverage.[1]
Since Eli’s passing, Duncan has spoken publicly about the impact and has taken steps to honor his brother’s memory, including carrying a pendant with Eli’s sobriety date and supporting a family foundation focused on mental health awareness and related issues.[4][1]
Reports indicate Duncan and his family launched the Robinson Family Foundation to assist families dealing with similar mental health challenges and to raise awareness about mental health and potential links to psychosis/marijuana use, reflecting how they’re turning personal tragedy into broader help.[1][4]
Additional context from late 2025 notes that Duncan publicly discussed Eli’s death and its broader implications for health care and mental health support, signaling ongoing advocacy and outreach.[3][4]
Would you like a concise timeline or a brief profile of the Robinson Family Foundation with contact/participation info? I can pull together a quick bullet list or a short summary for easy sharing.
