Nottinghamshire dad pays heartfelt tribute to 'handsome lad' who 'loved life'

The grieving dad of a man who had his 'whole life ahead of him' said his son appeared 'happy' before he would later take his own life. The devastated family from Kirkby-in-Ashfield had "no clue" that Sean Lynk, aged 30, was struggling with his mental health before the tragedy, which happened shortly before Christmas last year.

Sean's dad, Graham Lynk, has opened up about the "worst day of my life" when his son first failed to turned up to work. "We both worked together, and, on that morning, I wanted to see him and he was not there. I tried ringing him several times, work tried to ring him as well. I knew something was amiss."

The 65-year-old rushed to his son's flat in Mansfield with his wife to see Sean's car parked outside, and his door locked on the inside. The police were also called.
