Edward Lake, father of 3 children killed in crash by impaired driver commits suicide

In the days after his three children were killed by a drunk driver, Edward Lake seemed to know his pain would never leave him. “We close our eyes and they’re all we see,” he told reporters. “This is a nightmare that will never go away.”
On Monday, seven years after the loss of his children, Lake was found dead. He died by suicide, yorkregion.com has learned. His death came a day after Father’s Day, when his wife Jennifer Neville-Lake shared a grief-stricken post on Twitter with a picture of their children’s graves.
“Father’s Day 2022. This shouldn’t be real. It can’t be,” the tweet read.
In September 2015, the Neville-Lake children were killed while returning home to Brampton from King City, where Neville-Lake’s parents had been hosting their grandchildren: Daniel, 9, Harry, 5, and Milly, 2.
Gary Neville, Jennifer’s father, was also killed in the crash, and her mother and grandmother were badly injured.
Late Monday evening, Neville-Lake posted a message on social media.
“The eyes he shared with Harry are forever closed Daniel’s curls will never shine in the sunlight again I will never see Milly’s shy smile creep across his lips anymore. My children’s father, Edward Lake, has joined our kids so they can play together, forever. Mahal kita, Edward,” she tweeted.
The tragedy garnered nationwide media attention and Muzzo was eventually sentenced to ten years in jail — the harshest sentence for a first-time offender in a drunk driving case. He was granted full parole in 2021.
During Muzzo’s parole hearing, Neville-Lake told the Parole Board of Canada that she lived in fear of coming into contact with the man who killed her children and asked that he serve his parole outside the province. She reminded the board that she miscarried the day that two of her children were removed from life support, and had made suicide attempts. Lake had also previously described having suicidal thoughts while reading his victim impact statement at Muzzo’s 2016 sentencing hearing.
York Regional Police Chief Jim MacSween acknowledged the family’s loss on Twitter Monday night.
“This evening I was very saddened to learn of the tragic death of Ed Lake,” he wrote on Twitter. “The losses to the Neville-Lake family are heart wrenching. YRP stands with our friend Jennifer and members of both families. May you find strength in the support of your community.”
The grief of losing a child to a drunk driving incident is something that families never get over, said Carolyn Swinson, director of victim support with the Toronto chapter of MADD Canada.

I would have just run Muzzo over with my car the day he was released to help me feel better. Poor wife...

Damn
I can’t say I wouldn’t take that same route
Edit:
To say is I think I’d rather die, and I love my wife, but I would consider my time on earth over

10 years? That mf’er should have been shot at the scene.

If everyone’s first time DUI were ten years, there’d be no DUIs.

Ten fricking years is the max you can get for killing 3 fricking children???

serious question, why did you feel the need to post this?

And he also was granted full parole before even serving that.
His family donated $15MM to a hospital in 2017, so it's safe to say they have the money to have pulled strings for him.
The crash happened in 2015 and he was granted full parole in 2021, so he probably only served about half of the already light sentence.

I don't know if I would make it seven days, let alone years.
