The visionary director’s death comes after a tough 2024 in which he battled emphysema, a chronic lung condition that involves the gradual destruction of the air sacs in the organ.
Emphysema is mainly caused due to long-term exposure to irritants that damage the lungs, such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, or chemical fumes. The condition is progressive, a fact that Lynch himself recognized when he revealed his diagnosis that year.

The director explained that the illness had advanced to the point that he was unable to continue his work. Sadly, there’s no known cure for emphysema, only treatments to manage its symptoms and slow its inevitable progression.
As for future plans regarding his funeral or memorials, they haven’t been confirmed yet, but it’s expected his passing will be mourned in both private services and public tributes that celebrate his acclaimed contributions to the art of filmmaking.
