The father of three children killed by a drunk driver in a 2015 Vaughan crash was tasered and charged by police in Peel Region the day before he died by suicide.
Peel Regional Police confirmed to Global News that officers visited Edward Lake’s house after a call regarding an altercation.
“While there was no indication that the call was directly related to mental health, the officers who attended were appropriately made aware of Mr. Lake’s history,” Heather Cannon, a spokesperson for Peel police, said.
Lake’s three children were killed by a drunk driver, Marco Muzzo, in a crash in Vaughan back in 2015.
Nine-year-old Daniel Neville-Lake, his five-year-old brother Harrison, their two-year-old sister Milly and the children’s 65-year-old grandfather, Gary Neville, were killed in the collision.
The children’s grandmother and great-grandmother were badly injured.
On Monday, the day after Father’s Day, Lake was found deceased.
Peel police said that, when police arrived at Lake’s home on Sunday, an “altercation” took place between the father and police officers. As a result, a taser was used and paramedics were called to the scene, police said.
