Films such as Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive were beloved by critics and audiences alike, offering an ongoing mystery that captivated viewers.

Last year, Lynch announced that he was suffering from emphysema caused by smoking. He stated that due to this, he would no longer be leaving his home and would not be able to direct anymore.

His family announced his passing via a post on his Facebook page: “The world now has a great hole where he is no longer with us. But as he would say, ‘Look at the donut, not the hole.’”
