Just an hour and a half after David Lynch left his father Sean at home finishing dessert after dinner, he returned to find the house engulfed in flames and his father tragically deceased.
David had heard the alarm of the fire brigade as he finished shopping for their Christmas dinner in a nearby supermarket on December 23 and hoped that it wasn’t going anywhere near their home.
