The house that burned down wasn’t the home where she lived with her children and husband — that home is located in Brampton, Ont.

In 2015, Neville-Lake’s three young children were killed in a drunk driving crash in Vaughan, Ont. caused by Marco Muzzo.

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 also badly injured.

Jennifer’s husband Edward Lake died by suicide in 2022 and was found deceased the day after Father’s Day.

Muzzo pleaded guilty and served time in prison before being granted full parole in February 2021.
