Diagnosed with emphysema last year
The cause of death is not yet known. However, the director only announced last year that he had been diagnosed with emphysema after years of smoking. Even then, he had to declare that he would probably no longer be able to direct or even leave the house.
Lynch's directing career began at the end of the 1960s: he gained recognition in the USA with the surrealist horror film "Eraserhead", for which he had also written the screenplay. His career took off in the 1980s with the release of "Dune" and "Blue Velvet".
