Lorne Milgaard cause of death: What happened to David Milgaard’s father?
Lorne Milgaard sadly passed away in the latter part of 2007 after suffering from a short illness as confirmed by the family and various news outlets. The father of David Milgaard had supported various campaigns to have his son’s appeal get a retrial in a court system that was determined to brush aside the case.
His support though was in the background as he preferred to keep a low profile. His wife Joyce was more outspoken and publicly campaigned for her son’s release from an unjust conviction.
Lorne’s support was however greatly appreciated by David who shared his ten million compensation money with him to enable him to retire at the age of 69 since he had kept working to support the family and to fund the expensive legal fees and media charges to campaign for David’s release.
