Lynch died earleir this year from cardiac arrest due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
He had become housebound with emphysema following years of chain-smoking, and a death certificate released by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health confirmed COPD was an underlying condition suffered by the auteur.
In November, he admitted he could no longer walk without the aid of supplemental oxygen, saying at the time: “Smoking had been an integral part of my life since I started at just eight years old.”
