Drunk driver killed his 3 young children in 2016: Edward Lake took his own life on Father’s Day this year
A devastating news story that comes from Canada and that has roots in 2016. A man by name Edward Lake, on the occasion of this year’s Father’s Day, which was celebrated on June 19th, he took his own life. His three young children were killed 6 years ago in an accident caused by a drunk driver, who was granted probation in 2021.
A dramatic story that began in 2015 in Canadamore precisely in the city of Vaughan.
At the time, an Italian Canadian man named Marco Muzzowho was driving his car under the influence of alcohol, ran over a car in which three small children, their grandparents and a great-grandmother were traveling.
The outcome was tragic. For the little ones Daniel, Harrison and Milagros Neville-Lake and for the grandfather Gary Neville there was nothing to be done. The children who were only 9, 5 and 2 years old at the time died instantly from the very serious injuries sustained in the accident. The grandmother and great-grandmother who were in the car with them, although seriously injured, managed to survive.
The Canadian Police arrested Muzzo and sentenced him to serve 10 years in prison.
In 2021, however, after only 6 years of imprisonment, the man was released with the flood parole.
Edward Lake took his own life
The pain of the death of their 3 young children was already devastating for Edward Lake and his wife Jennifer Neville-Lake. Already during the hearings for the sentence of Muzzo in 2016, the mother of the killed children had said that she suffered from anxiety and accused suicidal instincts.
A pain that intensified the moment the man who killed their children is released from prison before time.
On 19 June, on the occasion of Father’s Day, Edward decided to end it and to no longer resist the enormous pain. He took his own life and his wife Jennifer thought about it, publishing a poignant post on Twitter. These are her words:
The eyes he shared with Harry are closed forever. Daniel’s curls will never shine in the sunlight again. I’ll never see Milly’s shy smile again. My children’s father, Edward Lake, has joined our children so they can play together, forever.
