A message from Anna DeMase Lynch, the mother of James and Caroline Lynch and the wife of Patrick Lynch.
“My husband made the irreversible decision to kill our two children and himself this evening.
Before the media jumps to conclusions, he was a wonderful dad. He was laid off in August and shortly after became depressed. I suggested he to go to a therapist, which he agreed to go to and had an appointment booked for 11/4.
One day too late. Please check in on your loved ones. I never thought this is how our story would end. 💔
Rest in peace my angels. James may you ski all the bowls and Caroline may you eat all the skittles and play in your own castle made of slime. Best friends forever.”
Authorities said Patrick Lynch, 42, threw his two children, James, 8, and Caroline, 6, from the top of the municipal parking garage in Mt. Lebanon on November 3rd, then jumped. All three were pronounced dead at the scene. Their deaths are being investigated as a murder-suicide.
We are truly heartbroken for Anna and everyone who loved James and Caroline.
Rest Peacefully, James and Caroline.
