A man whose children were killed by a drunk driver committed suicide after Father’s Day

A Canadian father, whose three children were killed by a drunk driver in 2015, took his own life in the hours after Father’s Day.

Edward Lake’s wife Jennifer Neville-Lake shared the tragic news about her husband with a photo of their three children – Daniel, Harry and Millie, who were 9, 5 and 2 years old when they died in the crash.

“The eyes he shared with Harry are closed forever, Daniel’s curls will never shine in the sunlight again. I will never see Millie’s shy smile creeping across his lips again. My children’s father, Edward Lake, joined our children so they could play together forever, “Neville Lake’s tweet is being read on Monday.

“Mahal kita, Edward,” she wrote, which means “I love you” in Filipino.

The day before, she shared a post with a photo of the children’s graves.

“It doesn’t have to be real. It can’t be, “the caption read.

Children’s grandfather Gary Neville also died in a crash in a Toronto suburb. Their grandmother and great-grandmother were seriously injured, according to yorkregion.com, which reported Lake’s suicide.

Her family was driving the children to their home when a drunk driver, Marco Mutzo, smashed their car in the town of Vaughan, the newspaper reported.

Muzzo reportedly received full parole in 2021.

“I have no one left to call me mom. You killed all my babies, “Jennifer told Muzzo during his 2016 hearing, according to CityNews Toronto.

“You deserve to know what it’s like to take every single life you’ve created,” she said.

Lake told the publication during the sentencing hearing that he was struggling with “thoughts of suicide and extreme anxiety.”
